[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all are off your rocker.  The kid has[b] learned not to repeat a particular joke[/b].  That's a reasonable lesson.  [/quote]

The better lesson might be don't repeat a joke that you don't understand the punchline yourself.  So many kids are just reckless because they've never been held accountable - you heard it get a laugh so now you're telling it, and when you catch a black eye it's "what's a gas chamber?  how is this my fault??"  Don't tell him the problem is he met a bully.  Don't tell him it's not his fault if he didn't know what he was saying.  Tell him to shut up if he doesn't know what he's saying.  Own your words.[/quote]

OP - I agree with you. My son didn’t fully understand it and our word is our bond. He knows this. Being successful life in life comes down to trust and integrity. This is a good lesson for him, but I’m sad that it’s at the expense of being hurtful to others. The bully has a different set of issues that are out of my control and interest level beyond correcting this situation [/quote]
