some people like to discuss poo, pee, and farts. general bathroom topics, and other gross things. i know i do, and so do many of my awesome friends.
this is because it reaffirms that we are not gross freaks. just like any other community of social minorities, we bond together as icky human beings in order to discover that we are, in fact, not the only people who make juicy farts and get diarrhea. it helps us know that everybody poops. and it's quite reassuring.
i discovered this as i was talking to my sister about poop and the conversation stretched on long enough that i became a little self concious, but realized that i was enjoying it because i felt less gross. when christina tells me something toilet related about herself i feel so much better that i'm not the only one who has experienced that. it's a very basic need we have, to know we aren't alone in our feelings.
