Ok, just to top my evening off, DS2 has just declared he is a 'willy stroker'.......psycho goes <<thud>> on the bedroom floor......what else could I do to ensure this is not said to his teacher tomorrow???

[psychomum5]

seriously........where does he get these sayings from???

there is something in the air

ds1 (6) was snuggling down into bed and said 'Some people do sex you know mum. you canbe married or not married and can do sex'
I asked who had been talking about this and he told me
I asked what he meant
ds1: 'I cant remember mum I wasnt listening properly'

Hmmm, have they been having sex ed at school? I've just been to a meeting about sex ed in schools and it sounds like the kind of thing they would talk about popsycal.

Psycho - where on earth did he get that from? Are you sure he didn't mean something else and it came out as willystroker?

I'd not panic, just say "No dear, you are MY little baby!" Hopefully he won't remember it tomorrow. But just in case, let the teacher know - he might have got it from the playground anyhow! Don't worry, teachers have heard it all!

do you think this is the start of the schools teaching them stuff they have no idea what they are learning???

My ds (3.5) cried today when I took his photo and refused to include a picture of his willy - on my sisters phone for goodness sakes. He is slightly obsessed at the moment.

Well this is my post about that meeting in school. I'm not particularly happy about some of the things they will be talking to 5-7yos about. As you said, they will be raising issues, esp with 5yos, that they have no understanding of.

Rhuby......I am not asking him right now where it came from,....I am hoping me ignoring it might mean he forgets, but honestly, it is quite shocking, and this after 5 children.

none of mine have com out with somehting even vaguely similar.......but then, DS2 is a whole different breed of child I reckon!

I was very hard pressed not to laugh tho, once I picked myself up

He doesn't have the faintest idea what it means though. My guess is that he's picked it up from school and the teachers should be informed.

I always worry when very young children come out with things like that, because you do wonder what they are being exposed to at home. In your case, if you approach the teachers they can then at least be aware of it and won't be shocked if he says it during lunch tomorrow!

rhuby, I will approach his teacher tomorrow....you are right, it is language that is very worrying looking at it properly.

in fact, am beginning to feel slighly sick at where he could have heard it....altho I am sure it is him getting it from school and using the saying to us in innocence IYGWIM.

Could just be an older brother though. Willy-stroker is used by secondary school kids as an insult - bit like carpet muncher iyswim. But do inform the teachers!

ah, yes....his best friends have brothers in senior schools.

ever so slightly , altho I am still going to talk to the teacher.

thanks rhuby

How old is he? My 2 ds's come away with some very things sometimes, but when asked about it it turns out to be something quite innocent but just badly phrased.

But sorry, you will not be able stop him saying it very very loudly during the quietest moment of some big school event/ family gathering...etc

Imagining the Christmas Play now, with Psycho's ds stepping proudly onto the stage and announcing "I'M A WILLY STROKER!"

Sorry psycho!

TIMDI....he is 6....and a 'young' six at that, even tho he has older siblings.

seriously, I have never heard ANY of mine say anything remotely similar to this!

It's scary! My dd is nearly 5. She knows that only "girls" have babies (though I've told her they need help from daddies) and she knows she came out of my tummy. And was most amused that when she asked "how", that the doctor cut a hole and pulled her out. Twas the truth. I plan to answer any future questions on this subject as truthfully as possible, but up to now she hasn't asked. I guess I've got all this coming (soon).

Well if you don't tell them, the school will, and they'll tell them more than you'd like them to.

Ds2 is 6. If it's any consolation he quite often, and very loudly, tells me my boobs look 'really big and cuddly. And also wobbly'. And normally in the most embarrasing circumstances aswell.

Think it is just a boy thing to be obsessed with body parts, and to talk about them alot.

oh, we have had the comments on the boobs already.

and the period comments!

altho, it is normally in relation to his sister (DD1)....she live in fear of his comments about her body!

ds told me today that my HUGE boobies looked like camel humps!

I don't have huge boobies but was pleased at the compliment!

He also tells us that he is going to kick our "ash".

This was mine and DS (4) conversation today.

DS 'Mum, why does daddy sleep in your bed?'
Me 'Becuase daddy is my husband darling'
DS 'Can i be your husband?'
Me 'No - your my son'
DS 'What about (names little girl cousin) can i be her husband'
Me 'No you can't be anyone's husband that is in your family'
DS 'Can i be (names a boy at his nursery) husband?'
Me 'Erm well we will se when your older shall we?'

Were having alot of conversations like this at the moment.

Funnily enough I was having a shower last night while DS (5) was in the bath. I got out and started to dry myself off...

DS: Mummy why don't girls have willies.
Me: We don't need them darling.
DS: Oh ok.

Done ! Although I have a feeling he will want more information soon.
