Having spent the past few days riding for extended periods of time with the kids in a car, I’ve decided to propose The First Law of Child Conversations:
As the length of a conversation between children increases, the probability that one of the following words (or a variant thereof) will be used approaches 1: poop, butt, fart, burp, diarrhea, pee.
Also, I propose the following corollary:
The time before one of these words is used decreases exponentially for each additional child in the conversation.
I, personally, have witnessed a gathering with as few as 6 children where a conversation started with the comment “I think the dog farted.” I’ll also note there was no dog around.
One reply on “The First Law of Child Conversations”
Must be why the book series about:
Walter, the Farting Dog has been so popular .. 🙂
