A social observation occurred to me when a young boy, probably four or five, returned to his dinner table and made an announcement.
My observation, based on the young man’s announcement is this: up until the age of eight it is socially acceptable to come out of a public rest room and announce to family, friends, and bystanders alike that you just went pee or poop. It is also socially acceptable to make the same pronouncement in the same social situation when you are above 80 years old. Any age in between it is not de rigueur to speak or your derriere in a public place like a restaurant.
