How can you physically stand behind your father while he is standing behind you?
Common Wrong Answers
“Stand on his shoulders”
If you are on his shoulders, you are not standing behind him, but rather above him.
“Face him and take a step back”
If you are facing him, you cannot be behind him; you would be in front of him.
“Lean against a wall while he faces away”
Leaning against a wall does not allow for both of you to be standing behind each other simultaneously.
