When I Was a Child, I Spake as a Child -- When I Became an Adult... I Didn't Do Much Better

Today's word:

puerile: (adjective) childish; immature [pure-aisle]

This word comes in handy when describing my clientele and my husband (from time to time). Not that he'd appreciate me telling you that, but I'm thinking it probably goes without saying. If you know him, you've already noticed he's puerile.

Most of the boys in my classes are puerile. Frankly, I don't know how their female counterparts can stand them... but then again, they're a bit puerile as well. So it all evens out somehow. The longer I hang out with the middle school crowd, the more puerile I begin to act. Just read my sonnet, "Ode to a Boogar". It doesn't take long for me to regress.
