Puerile
<pur-ree-ill>
immature; trivial; foolish;
being childish and having bad judgment.
The puerile student frustrated the teacher and distracted the class.
Memory trick:
puerile reminds of pure rile
we are riled when someone acts silly
At work:
We need to be less puerile and get serious about this project.
