[quote=Anonymous]Just making sure this isn't the friend with the knife! Assuming not, talk to your son and let him know that some people take things very literally - talk to him about examples of what that means - and ask him to be more aware of his language around this friend. It's not about speaking kindly (which is very vague advice to many 10 year olds), it's about being literal. Some friends can say "I'm gonna kill you for saying that!" and everyone knows it's joking and no one is offended. It's not unkind in the context of that particular friendship. For this friend, that would not be an appropriate thing to say.[/quote]
