It's well known that between the ages of approximately 1 and 5, the offspring of Homo sapiens slowly, and at times lopsidedly, do something called learn to speak. They acquire some key words—lunch, cat, mummy, fart—assemble some basic grammar, and are, by the time they're the size of a chair, well on the way to one of the key markers of human competence.
Except for one thing. Shortly after they learn to speak, children also learn, as it were, not to speak. At first, they aren't very good at not speaking, which is why, for a precious time, they're very funny indeed, as well as occasionally rather excruciating. They use their newfound linguistic skill to come out with utterances like, 'Grammy smells under her legs,' 'Jane looks a bit like a giraffe,' and, 'Can you put a poo back in your bottom once it's come out?' Then, sure enough, to the mixed relief of the adults around, children learn not to speak. They become careful custodians of their more charged insights. Out go the large questions, rude observations, and naked confessions.
