and had you asked me eight, nine years ago, about these, I would have told you that they were hopelessly sentimental and maybe too anthropomorphic in the wrong way and maybe even staged, and what I can tell you now is that there is actually something to this.
Als je me hier negen jaar geleden over had gevraagd, had ik gezegd dat dit gedrag sentimenteel was en misschien overdreven antropomorf op de foute manier en misschien in scène gezet, maar ik kan je nu vertellen dat dit gedrag geen flauwekul is.
