I have had several similar conversations over the last few days about at what point in our lives do the rules change? For example when you are a child and the adults are all sitting in the sitting room after lunch and someone starts to doze off, as a child you cannot understand this behaviour you think, “it is the middle of the day why are you sleeping?” Kids on the other hand won’t go to bed then as teens they won’t get out of bed and as an adult all you want is your bed. In a similar vain, at what point in your life do bodily functions such as wind (passing gas for our American friends) become revolting and how confusing is this. When a child burps or does something related to burping people say “oh, good boy, better out than in…” When you are a bit older and you do the exact same thing you hear “oh, you filthy pig!” Amazing that any of us grow up completely sane.
