[quote=Anonymous]Our youngest child is a boy about to start second grade this week. He is a great kid but I worry about him being teased as he sometimes comes across as gay. He has seen his two older sisters swoon over their favorite TV actor and this morning when we were watching TV just the two of us, he copied his sisters by giggling, "He's cute!" when he saw that particular actor on the TV. Maybe he was just trying to be funny by imitating his sisters but I think I should warn him that boys can get bullied if they say things like that.

This past weekend, our son had a boy from his school come over to our house for a playdate. I was glad to watch the boys playing frisbee and having fun in our backyard but the friend's briefs were sticking out in the back. I was afraid my son would make fun of him but instead he blurted out, "Oh, I wear the exact same kind of underwear as you!" 
The friend blushed red and I think I should tell my son that even though he was just trying to be friendly, things like that can make people embarrassed. Should I worry that my son blurts out things like this? Would you find a way to warn him to be more careful?
