How does one go about

How does one go about becoming a mature adult?
Really, are there steps? Is there a guide?
I'm so not mature and I wonder why. Maybe I'm lazy. Maybe I'm nutso.
Maybe it's my dad's fault.
He taught me that at 45, it's still funny to sing,
"Polly went out to milk the cow, Polly-vouz
Polly went out to milk the cow, Polly-vouz.
She missed the tit and pulled the tail
and all the shit went in the pail
Hinky Dinky Polly-vouz"

Yet, my mom should've counted for something. She repeatedly chided my dad with a stern look and a "Ken!" when he was leading us kids in a poem contest where the nouns, "crap" and "hell" were acceptable rhyming words.

Also, he used to fart at the dinner table and we all (sans Mom) thought it was hilarious.

I think that's what happened. I was taught through repeated conditioning that vulgarities and non-adult-like acts were preferred over mature-type activities...

But crap, Polly, it's sure causing me a hell of a lot of problems now that I'm 33.

the same is not true of the most advanced Arab nations. What’s going on here? How is it possible

Tunisia (#35) all ranked higher than China (#36), India (#48), Brazil (#56) or Russia (#77) in

the stage for new types of connectedness, including the types of network effects made possible
