Oh no... did he really just say that??

[tanyaya]

I think I would just go with a not a big deal statement like 'that is just how he/she is'.

thanks for the idea! i am laughing (and slapping my head) at some of your stories (out of the mouths of babes, hey) but horrified at the thought of my DS saying something like that.

i guess there's a big lesson in tolerance there, and teaching/exposing our kids to all kinds of people.

a few years ago i was changing in the change-room at the pools, and very overweight at that stage, and there was a little kid who kept saying "she's fat" to me.... and the poor mum was really embarrased and just trying to hurry him up... so i think most people would have a certain level of understanding for kids who have no brain-mouth filters.....
