That sounds logical. I was actually positing questions that anyone might have, wondering about this whole nest of bits of string tied together.
That also explains why the nice family photo of “Lolo” (or whoever he is), SAD, Zero and instant Baby is so incredibly shopped and that there are very few other photos of Zero and SAD in Indo. And there is that very interesting photo of Zero and a whole ‘nother Indonesian family.
I’m also divesting my cup of the idea that SAD only starting caretaking the child around the time of the chain link fence photo.
right...and if you want to do the readers a favour, give them a link to the Indonesian fake photo story...if there had ever been an Indonesian family that included the characters the myth wants us to think it did...they wouldn’t have played the ‘instant baby’ tricks.
I’m weary of it.
The “whole ‘nother Indonesian family” is his family. Lolo Soetoro’s family. They who lived in the royal(ish) compound in Yogyakarta. The elderly lady is Lolo’s mother, who Barry considered as like his own grandmother. So he has two step-grannies. Notice how he’s hanging onto the granny’s hand? The other children are Maya’s cousins. Maya spent a lot of time living there. Barry was frequently there, too. Those other men are probably Lolo’s brothers. He had many siblings.
