Socially unacceptable and therefore supremely entertaining

Put yourself in the mindset of a four year old and what do you have?  An extremely acute understanding of socially unacceptable/embarrassing behaviors and topics to talk (even sing songs) loudly about.  And that, is exactly what is unbelievably fun to bring up and indulge in.  The more public and proper the situation (and therefore more inappropriate to indulge in), the better and funnier it is.

Thing is, it actually is funny sometimes.  Not the behavior itself, but the mirth it induces in my four year old.  And its a struggle to either contain my own laughter or hide it/laugh when he's not looking, and find the right level of seriousness to chide him about it.  What's worse, a scolding only results in even more mirth, often ending in uncontrollable laughter.

Honestly don't know when this phase will pass (really hoping it is a phase).

The topics/behaviors in question have to do with pee-ing, poop-ing, burping and farting.

Sigh.
