[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watch some old episodes of South Park. [b] This is what 8 year olds talk about, along with all that swearing.[/b]  If you are concerned, tell him to walk away or try to put it in context for him and explain what you think about what is appropriate.  No one wants their kids to learn stuff like that from other kids, but its going to happen.[/quote]

My 9 yr old DS goes to an RM cluster.  I'm 99% positive that this is not normal talk amongst his friends.  Holy cow!  Too young.  Yes, they talk potty talk, but not like this where it's overtly sexual.  It's more along the lines of poop, an "OMG, he said penis, isn't that funny!".  But I don't think it's ever sexual in nature.  We've had the "where do babies come from talk".  So I don't think DS would be embarrassed to ask us questions regarding this kind of thing.

I do agree, that eventually, kids will talk about things like this, and they will learn from each other (and misinformation along with it). But 8 seems way too young.  I also agree with another PP that it could be that the other boy has an older sibling who's said these things to the younger boy.  My 9 yr old has said things to my 6 yr old that was probably not appropriate for the 6 yr old to hear.

This is a tough one. I'm not a heli-parent, believe me.  But at this age, this kind of talk is a bit disturbing.  I would mention it to the teacher.[/quote]
