[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think the obese woman should have set him straight. I grew up with an obese mom and kids DID ask her a lot why she was fat. They weren't rude (sounds like OP's son was rude) but they had questions. She would always joke and tell them that it was too much cake and not enough vegetables. She'd also tell them it's not polite to point out physical appearance though. Friend's kid asked a woman once in a grocery store why she was black. Lady laughed and said that people come in all colors. [/quote] Op's kid sounds no more rude than the kids you mention. Kids are curious creatures. And they lack filters. The responses you gave are great ways to deflect their questions and stop the probing and then mom and dad should tackle the rest. But it's a natural kid thing![/quote]
