Don't like it either that most of my mom's stories involve someone dead, dying, sick or injured. I find it very morbid and depressing.
I can understand that. Talk about death and illness doesn't affect me adversely too much and I'm around that a lot. But, it would be depressing if it was the main focus a lot of the time in my own home or family.
With little kids and the elderly, the bodily function talk kinda comes with the territory and doesn't bother me at all.
What I never quite understand is adults sitting around gabbing about excrement or flatulence and that kinda thing. A joke here or there is no biggie, but actually carrying on about it in the course of conversation makes me tune out quickly.
