This is for those who are not to modest...I remember teasing my mom?

Question

for always talking about "poop" ( bowel movments ) and now in my fortys my freinds and I do this. Why is this thing we would never discuss at a younger age become such a great topic?

Answer 1

Yep, my best girlfriend and I talk about poop! Gross isn't it? Seems bodily functions become a grand topic as we get older!...ya'd think we'd have better things to talk about, wouldn't ya'? LOL

But Naw - it's POOP...gas; farts; incontinence when laughing or sneezing; sleep habits; prescriptions; etc etc....but at least I, and my friends, still talk about sex and MEN! :-)

'Course even then we talk about getting naked and how we have to do it in the dark!...Aw, I can't believe I'm EVEN sharing this! :-0

Answer 2

That seems to be a topic of great interest among those of us over 40. Maybe it's because something that was taken for granted during our youth has now become a laborious chore. And now foods that we had no problem "processing" before can now cause agonizing pain and disturbing looking things in the "bowl". Yep, the ole turd cutter just ain't working like it used to. I'm almost afraid to ask.....What's Next??

Answer 3

My husband and I are laughing so hard, that I can't even answer this question.

This has to be counted as the best laugh I've had for a week.

I guess "poop" is funny. Go figure.

My daughter has been threatening for years that she was going to make a sign that says, "Sh-t Happens Here" and post it in our front yard.

It's because we sit at home minding our own business, but with a family that has multiplied to the count of 40 human beings, there's a whole lot of crap going on . . . .oops, I mean "poop".

sage seeker, I can't believe I'm saying this either.

Answer 4

Well I would think gas (farts) are way up on the top of the list.
As well as don't laugh too hard. I almost peed my pants.
Oh well bodily functions, we all have them, why not laugh at them.
The poop part became a normal topic of conversation when we had our baby's (kids). Along with the vomit and boogers, and belching.

Answer 5

Everyone I know is constipated! It's a great subject of conversation.

Have you noticed how the word "s**t" has lost its meaning? For example, most people would say "Oh, s**t! I stepped in some dog poop!" rather than the other way around.

Answer 6

Well Eileen, I must admit that I don't remember ever discussing this subject with any of my friends. Now back when the kids were all babies....probably. But if I brought up this with any of my friends, ( even the really open minded ones) they would probably think I'd have lost my mind. I mean, what would I say?......" say Marge, have you had a BM today???" lol Each to their own I guess. Now discussions about sex....that, we do.

Answer 7

Our perspective changes as we age. When we're young, we couldn't identify with issues of the "more mature". And things we used to talk about in our younger days are now a fading memory.

Answer 8

Oh... Pooh! Poor Bear!....

This subject has given a lot of us terrible problems as we have aged... sad but true! And the Gas, my God, we should have chimneys! The Dr. says TAKE CALCIUM... at that rate it's like the rock of Gibraltar! Well, at your age you need it, so try a little milk of magnesia... now your Niagara Falls!!! It's just to much to bear!

Answer 9

I think it has to do with becoming a mother, where you are almost always aware of what your baby is "doo-ing." It's not a topic I would share with anyone but my hubby, and it's the same for him. He wouldn't share that information about BM's with anyone but me, but infants and toddlers are fair game.

Answer 10

Guess it's a girl thing, right in there with boogers and zits for interesting topics of conversation.
