[quote=Anonymous]Very good advice from PP!

I wanted to add my opinion -- this is pretty normal for a couple 3rd graders to be making jokes about this kind of stuff; often they hear it from older siblings, 6th graders on the bus etc.   Doesn't mean it is appropriate for them to repeat it!

I remember my 2nd grade boy coming home and telling me, "Mom do you know it is physically impossible for someone to lick his own penis?"   I said something like "Huh, I didn't not know that".   AFter a long pause he said to me, "Mom, why would someone want to like their penis?"

He was just repeating stuff he had heard on the bus from the big kids.   It sounded naughty and was highly interesting to him, but he didn't really understand it.

When kids talk like this it doesn't mean they have been abused, necessarily.   They are usually just repeating stuff they have heard, because they don't know what else to do with it, and because it sounds naughty and funny and will make the other kids laugh and get attention.
