Young Son Blurts Out Things. Should I Be Worried?

[Anonymous]

"He blurted out, "Oh, I wear the exact same kind of underwear as you!" Would you find a way to warn him to be more careful?

In my experience, when kids see that someone's underwear is showing they giggle or simply tell the person to pull up his pants. My DS was teased in fourth grade when kids on the playground found out that he wears tighty whities. But in this case, it seems both boys wear briefs and the same brand too. Sounds like your son was nice to tell his friend what he wears but the friend unfortunately took it the wrong way. I would warn my son that friends don't like it when they think another boy is checking them out and there are some lines that are better not to cross. I think your son is old enough to understand things like this and should know that when a friend's new pants are too big for him it's best to pretend that you didn't notice his underpants! Hope this helps...
