Bonus Post - Puerile

To exploring the mystery devotees, the word in post 44 that begs and whines and pesters to be acknowledged and used................. 
 
                                                    Puerile

1. of or pertaining to a child or to childhood

2. childishly foolish; immature or trivial: a puerile piece of writing.

Would you please take a moment to craft a sentence using puerile  and post it in the comments section?  I want this word to sink in and be available to me.

Thanks for your help!

    With puerile delight I watched the slug leave its slimey trail across my shoe. (Does that make sense? Tough word.)

      Yes, yes, fluteyogi - I think your sentence not only makes sense but also speaks to how you explore the mystery! Thanks for tackling this, as you say, tough word.

    His puerile bathroom never failed: he always got a laugh.

      Jeff - What a pleasant surprise to see your comment here! I must confess I don't totally understand your comment unless I insert "joke" after bathroom. Maybe joke is implied and doesn't need to be stated. I leave the decision up to you - after all, you are my esteemed teacher!

      BTW, Jeff followed his own advice: offer help as a way to establish relationships. Jeff didn't ask for the "plug" - but I am delighted to introduce him to exploring the mystery readers.

      Jeff must invite us all to see his bathroom! Do we have a puerile curiosity about a guy's bathroom?
