Clearly not "normal" but I can't see it doing him any harm! There was a prog on ages ago about feelings of disgust and how they have to be taught. Robert Winston did it and it was quite interesting but I only saw a few minutes, sorry.

oh everything is broken!
My head, my back, everything!

And i am just a crap typer...not as bad as cod, so nobody has noticed, but pretty bad all the same..

Oh, i got that far without having to type w, hcih is a bit stiff actually- hadn't noticed and never preview

Feel like a bit of a stalker as I've seen you on a couple of threads today already mrsjohn!

Sorry for the hijack Greenshoots

Greenshoots - It is clearly normal for his age group, as so many of them do it (including my dts). However as a person matures and develops, their taste for this pungent snack should diminish. So I would go out on a limb here and say, NO IT IS NOT NORMAL for a grown up.
Hope that clears this up

tigerschick, i am off sick for a couple of hours and too achey to sleep
hen you are home ith the kids- you can't really go off sick can you? but dh is home and he has taken ds2 out and i need to collect ds1 from preschool and stick him in fromt of the tv for a hile.

And stalk away! yes that w is stiff!

mrsjohnsim · 26/03/2007 10:48

oh, GS, ds1 who is 3.5 and goes to preschool has only just started to say poo is yuk.
I had been very neutral about it for his life prior to this, so he wouldn't get weirdy about it.
But ds2, 1.5yrs, now alwyas says yuk when i take his nappy off as ds1 has taught him.

Just goes to show the second one has a completelty diff upbringing
