Fairly sure Samsung would fire my kids after the first day.


Let me put it this way. . .when you turn on my wife's Galaxy tablet it makes fart noises.  That was the work of the 6yo.




What is it with kids and potty humor?  To this day, I cannot walk through the bathroom plumbing section of a hardware store without chuckling thinking how hysterical my daughters thought toilets and toilet seats for sale was.

Genius.  I have immense respect for your 6yo.

To the other post, regarding why kids think potty humor is so funny.  The root of virtually all humor is the stuff that is on the edge of our understanding, or that makes us uncomfortable.  Works the same for adults, the topics are just different.

WE have child labor laws in the USA- but the countries where the products are made do not have child labor laws, it's legal there- and  I guess the companies that have their products made in 3rd world countries turn a blind eye to the kids building the electronic gear, or they pretend it's not happening.


Actually, there are only 2 countries in the world that don't have child labor laws.....Myanmar and Somalia.  Both have ratified the convention that will make it law, but doesn't take effect for a while yet. 

Everywhere else - it's illegal.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
