DS is 10 and earlier told me that DP had "bummed him".
He was referring to a game they'd played where they'd tried to knock each other over by their bums.
It was decided that the comment could have been taken way out of context by outsiders and I explained to DS what the phrase usually meant.
"DS, when someone says they were "bummed" it usually means someone has had sex with them. It's usually a phrase to exlain gay sex"
Was this a bit too honest? he's a mature 10 and he said he understood and didn't realise it would sound so serious.
I don't want to make him grow up too early but we both felt we shouldn't let that comment go. Besides the bullying that would occur if he was to say this at school, what on earth would happen if someone reported us after hearing DS say this.
Did I explain too much?
