Poo talk - wtf

[Hubhubba26]

Less AIBU more is this normal. My 5.5 year old son still talks about poo a lot. Usually as a way of trying to impress other kids. Quite often they're not. Sometimes he'll even go into a little rhyme about poo which he's made up himself while others look on quizzically. I do correct him and ask him not to.

I suppose I'm just wondering, although undoubtedly annoying, if this still falls within whats normal for a 5 year old. I Know at this point there's a big variance between a mature child and then you get those who are immature for a little longer. However you'd think he'd get the hint that he's the only one finding the poo rhymes funny!😂 He's my only child so nothing to compare to.

Very normal 😁 it's so funny to them, stinky feet, smelly breath, farts all are hilarious for that age group and up lol

Completely normal!

My five year old still laughs at poo, wee, fart. I correct him and we talk about other ways to be funny that doesn't have to be yucky 🤣. His friends are very into that humour too it seems.

Yes. My two 6yr olds are still obsessed with poo and farts.

Yup. 🧐😆

I’m 33 and still talk about poo.

in all fairness I was a colorectal nurse 😂💩

Totally normal for a 5 year old, who doesn’t love a snazzy little rhyme. Whenever someone in my family is ill with a stomach bug, you can bet we’re all singing the diarrhoea song at them, y’know, just to make things that little bit worse 😂

Absolutely normal. My 6 year old nephew loves to ask my Alexa to do fart sounds. Bums, wee, poo and 'willies' are all hilarious to him & his friends.

My 5 yo is exactly the same

My 6 year old's every other word is poo, bum, fart etc. Totally normal. He also makes up little songs or rhymes!

Yup. It's bog standard kid behaviour (see what I did there)

My eldest went through a phase of demanding we go into the toilet to admire his "massive poo".

We had to go in there and wow at it.

He'd just toilet trained and learned to talk after huge delays due to autism so yeah. That was ... Interesting shall we say.

Thank you everyone. They are so funny. Wonderful to hear how very normal this is. 💩

I guess I just find it awkward to watch when he's not getting the reaction he's looking for. He seems unbothered so definitely me projecting my social anxieties 😳

My almost 5yo girly girl likes to walk around saying "I found it with my butttttt," thank you talking goat in Wish. She's also taken to adding a fart whilst doing a wiggly dance 🤣🫠

It doesn’t stop. I am the only woman in an office full of men and we still talk about poo probably 3 times a day.

My 8 year old son and his friends still find poos hilarious.

I can't believe the other 5yos don't find his poo talk HILARIOUS. He sounds very normal to me (DDs aged 6 and nearly 4, both with loads of friends, both obsessed with poo).
