Kids crack me up because they don't understand the rules of social etiquette yet. They will say things that, to them, carry no perceived embarrassment for them or for the other people in the room simply because it is what they observed or thought that they observed.
Like the old joke about the man who took his young son to meet his boss, upon which the boy remarked, "Daddy, I thought you said his nose was brown?" For most adults, the filter would catch this sort of thing on the way out.
If we were more like kids I think the conversations could get a bit crazy. Public conversations about gross ailments, male enhancement cream, and back hair would not be a welcome addition in my mind.
Thanks goodness for filters!
