The more affluent and intellgient areas have higher circumcision rates

Most ironic post of the day.

If someone teases him about his nose, are you going to get him surgery to "fix" that, too?

You say what you say if he gets teased about anything else.

P.S. YES you follow up with the school. Why on earth are they allowing children to see each other's genitalia? This isn't infant care -- a 4-year-old should not be surrounded by others when using the restroom or changing clothing.

Right. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt.

They will give a hoot in a few years.

Maybe something is going on more with your kid. My five year old never has mentioned someone looking at his penis or caring. You'd have to look very closely to really tell. Somehow I think this is made up for attention.

What did you expect, honestly? You said the right things but you can't change other people.

Get him to grab another 2 boys. Chances are at least one of them will also be uncircumcised.

If there is any possibility for us to have a reasonable conversation that would be great:

My 4 yo uncirc'd DS just told me that 2 boys from his class have been laughing at "his private parts" in the bathroom because his penis looks different. I told him that those boys weren't being nice, that it was good he told me and that everyone has body parts that look different and that lots of boys (including his brother) have private parts that look his. Anything else I should say or do? Inform the teachers?
