So, I recently started reading Moby Dick for the first time since I was a teenager. I don't remember sniggering at all when I read it then but this passage just made me snort, "Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me".
My question is - do we get more childish as we get older? And is there anything you thought was innocent as a child that now makes you snigger?

When my children were very young I dug out an old Enid Blyton to read to them.
When I got to "Fanny smelled" I had to stop. The kids couldn't understand my laughter. |

I recently bought my niece some Famous Five books, and had forgotten the names until she came to me and whispered that there was bad language in the book...bless her! I explained to her they were short for Francesca (I think?) and Richard, and that they didn't mean the same things when the books were written because they were very old. She carried on reading and loves the books, but I've no idea how differently she might have read the stories if she hadn't asked me about Fanny & Dick!!
As for maturity with age OP, I regularly get into trouble for reading filth into the most innocent of things so whilst I may have grown older I don't think I've ever grown up!  |

It was ok at the time as the kids were clueless.
Now they're at the age where they pass each other knowing looks as though I don't know a euphemism or if a word is naughty or not |

Used to snigger in Chapel reading the bible about Gabrielle s bosom. Thankfully this never affected me later on in life where I only slobber over them instead of sniggering. |

I read some Chaucer a while ago - was really filthy 
I can't remember anything from my own childhood apart from the whole class sniggering at Trumpton Town when it was put on at school. |

Chaucer is definitely filthy! And poor Chanticleer, must be the most worn out Cock ever - having seven wives! |

My son wanted songs about scuba diving so I went onto youtube, found what looked like an innocent video but after 10 seconds I realised the singer was singing about the other diving. Near broke my neck trying to turn it off. 
Laughed a lot about it later.... |

funny thread! I once asked two shop assistants in B&Q where I could find the knobs...door knobs but you should have seen their faces. You would think they get asked things like that all the time. |

"Captain pugwash, and Rodger the cabin boy
Urban myth
Tom was the cabin boy and there were no characters called seaman stains or master bates either."
Something else I always found odd in rainbow. That big bear, bungle, used to walk round naked all day and then wear pyjamas to bed. What was all that about?
