It was fun to read this. And I have personally experienced number 2 and 7 while growing up outside the US. My mom claims I was potty trained by 10-11 months and never wore a diaper in my life.

    So cool! It's so interesting to hear what other cultures do and why.

    Interesting article. But the article lost me at this "This flexibility, apparently, extends to men suckling their children. Ever wonder why men have nipples? That's why." This is most certainly not why men have nipples, I'm sure the author was going for a joke, but it doesn't come across as such.

    WAIT. I've never actually thought about this concept. Why DO men have nipples?

    On one hand, I think it's important to realize the way we do things may not be the only/best way, but on the other hand, just because someone else does it differently doesn't mean their way is better or worse.

    It is interesting and important to learn about things outside of our own perspective though.
