It’s one thing to seek out grossness knowing it is on a printed page or in a movie or on the net/TV. It is entirely different to see what looks like your father’s decapitated, bloody head.
Long ago, we took my son to a movie. He was 9. I can’t even recall which film, but at one point he ended up in my lap, head buried in my shoulder, crying at something horrible on screen. He was in what I then called *goat boy* phase and nothing ever seemed to bother him, but that scene did.
Boys may seem to seek out grossness, but a lot of it is bravado and self-desensitization. They are also one way in a group of peers and another in reality. Telling that he screamed “Mommy”. Kids revert to younger stages when really affected. I’ll bet Barron usually calls Melania “Mom”.

Why there are posters here that don’t “get” this fact is astonishing to me!!!
When I was a Kid, picking your Nose was gross, especially if you mined a big old Booger and tried to wipe it on your Sister.
How times have changed.
