Those Wacky Grown-Ups

This is an excerpt from a chapter of one of Jonah's Captain Underpants books. It had me laughing out loud so I had to share:

It's been said that adults spend the first two years of their children's lives trying to make them walk and talk...and the next sixteen years trying to get them to sit down and shut up.

It's the same way with potty training: Most adults spend the first few years of a child's life cheerfully discussing pee and poopies, and how important it is to learn to put your pee-pee and poo-poo in the potty like big people do. But once children have mastered the art of toilet training, they are immediately forbidden to ever talk about poop, pee, toilets, and other bathroom-related subjects again. Such things are suddenly considered rude and vulgar, and are no longer rewarded with praise and cookies and juice boxes.

One day you're a superstar because you pooped in the toilet like a big boy, and the next day you're sitting in the principals office because you said the word "poopy" in American History class.
