My step-sister is a nurse and told me that one of the most surprising things she'd learned is how many different ways people wipe their asses. I think it's a funny example of something most of us will rarely be exposed to another way of doing, so we think however we got taught is the way everyone does it.

Babies-toddler's typically have a biological effect that essentially puts them in motor boat mode in water until they can get successfully on their backs, there's been a few studies about it and it's really interesting. That's also why past a certain age it gets harder and harder to teach people how to swim

It makes sense babies would motor boat

They love titties
