picked ds up from pre school earlier. he is 4. his teacher took me aside and said that she had to put him in time out today because he and another boy were "touching inappropriate places" it turns out they had shown eachother their privates.

i am mortified, embarassed and angry. i dont know what to think, why has he done this?? he is not normally naughty, he is a very normal, happy, well balanced and generally well behaved little boy.

now all sorts is going through my mind, i am so worried as to why he might have done this??

i asked my dp (his stepdad) to have a word with him, which he now has. as i was so angry and embarassed i just did not know how to deal with it.

LOL @ the ham sandwich and the brown sauce and the mildly scandalised Americans and 'flapping around pointlessly'.

DD (age 4.5) was asking about 'balls' the other week and wanted to know why her brother's balls were smaller than Daddy's. I explained that it was because Daddy is bigger and taller all round than DS. DD thought for a moment and then declared: 'Well J (my friend's very tall OH) must have MUCH bigger balls than Daddy!'

OH was gutted

Didn't anyone go and see "Puppetry of the Penis" a few years ago. They NEVER grow out of it.

My red faced moment was the other side. I had been coaching DS to wipe his bottom properly, not shove a quedge of paper up like a mummy's fist and block the toilet in the process.

He strolled into the living room when we had all the family over, pulled his shorts down, bent over, splayed his cheeks and from between his legs shouted, "look mummy, all clean..!"

He was so proud and happy we had to wait for him to leave the room before we could collapse in tears.

Agree with :
ham sandwich being funny.
americans being offended = funny
nurserys' workers reaction being non funny.

A couple of months back ds (5) marched into school and told his teacher that he had to pop out later on to the doctor's as he had a sore willy. She was smirking a little at the fact he had announced it at top volume, but when he followed this up with... " would you like to see where it is sore" she managed to say no thank you so calmyly I was really impressed. Then she caught my eye and starting silent sniggering so badly I thought the poor woman was going to go into labour.

It really made me realise how natural this is to ds - no different to having a sore knee or sore ear whatsoever, it's just another bit of his body.

KevinLevin I've seen Puppetry of the Penis twice.

I haven't been able to eat chicken nuggets since !
