[quote=Anonymous]Last year I posted about my kid befriending a kid in 2nd grade, and I observed (posted here) the kid made a lot of sexual reference jokes and violence jokes. Noting this to explain this isn’t a one-off.

Now they are in third grade. Today we were carpooling and here are some things he said in the car.

He referred to someone as a lemon licker.  I initially thought nothing of this but then he started talking about someone “licking his lemons” and I realized it was a sexual reference.

We were playing a game where I ask them in rapid succession a bunch of questions- what did you learn, what did you eat, what did you play… I also add who did you fight, and who did you help- (the fight question is a way for my kid to tell me about any conflicts he might be having. He always laughs and says he’s not in a fight with anyone and thinks it’s hilarious that I ask it.). The kid added a new question to the game. The question was “who did you kill” and the reply to his self-asked question was “everyone”.

At one point my son squealed “ooh!” The boy said “that’s a really bad word, you should never say that.”  My son was very confused, and the child continued “ooh ohh” (like in a sexual way) and said when you say that to a girl you really like them.  Then he dared my son to say that to a girl in his class. (The latter part of this didn’t raise a flag/ it was the sexual moaning that was weird and that “ooh” is a bad word).

Finally, when I was dropping him off, we were parked in front of his house. As he took off his seatbelt he lunged at my son and my son was shrieking.  I turned around and asked firmly what was going on. My son said “Larlo is grabbing my balls!”  I looked at Larlo and said “never do that again to my child or anyone else. Do you understand?” He nodded. I repeated it and also told my son he should tell me if it happened again.  After drop off my my son said that was the first time he had done that, but I’m not sure I believe it.

It’s weird right? My son still loves to talk about butts and farts and whatnot, but I feel like this is darker.  His parents seem to be lovely people.  He doesn’t have an older sibling.  What do you think about these incidents and how to proceed? He’s my kid’s bestie.
