If your 5 year old came home from preschool and asked you what a boys sack was?

[livn4themin]

What would your reply be?

Mine was uh - uh - uh, did he bring a lunch today? lol
Please, it happens. My 5 year old didn't hear it from the teacher for pete's sake.
I don't need lecture on how to deal thanks. I was just at a loss for words.
She overheard it in the park across from her school. It isn't the school OR the teachers.
Sophia's mom - I never once said it was cute, never once asked how to deal with it.. Just wanted to know what your reply would be... you shouldn't assume anything about anyone you don't know~~
And yes, I did crack a smile behind my hand cause oh the things they ask!!!!

[juicy1986]

this calls for a conference call with both parents and teacher. its inappriate to say those things in class. you as a parent shouldnn't tell the child. that should be considered a word that goes on the "bad word" list.

[Sophia's Mama : )]

This needs to be addressed with the pre-school teachers ASAP.

Not appropriate or cute.

*Edit* Your ORIGINAL question was: "If your 5 year old came home from preschool and asked you what a boys sack was What would your reply be??". Were we not to assume that this was something she heard AT preschool?

Obviously, you DO think this kind of thing is cute, so why bother even asking for the opinions of others? You dealt with it how you felt was appropriate...

Oh geez!! lol First I would have a hard time not laughing since, You know they ask very seriously. Second I would tell him(Since I have a son), that people all have different words for " Boy Parts"(that is what we say). then I would explain how some of the things people call it arent nice words and shouldnt be repeated. and then I would drop it. But the Lunch thing is pretty funny

["Lil HoLlYwOoD"]

i would pick that same answer

[latte_queen2000]

LOL that's an awkward yet hilarious question from a kid. I would tell him what it is, that all boys have it, and the correct terminology to use when referring to their private parts. It's not something that your son needs to be embarrassed about, so don't act like it is. When he asks what girls' have, tell him about that, too. You can leave out the sex part until he's a few years older though!

[My3Boys]

I would tell him the truth, and that it's not a polite way of referring to it, and we don't talk that way.

[Curiosa]

Fist you need to talk to his teacher about the language is getting from his class. Tell her to do an observation and pay close attention to the kind of language other children are using. She should address this problem with them. You should then talk to your child and ask where he got it from, or ask who has used that word. You then tell him that is not the appropriate word to use when reffering to his body parts.

Good luck with your child.

LOL! I'm sorry this is so cute! I would think that more than likely that one of his little guy friends has a Daddy that refers to it as a sack. You could explain to your son that it's a rude way to refer to what you would call testicles. Tell him that it's more proper that you use the right words and that rude ones aren't that cool. He'll understand and even agree with you maybe?

I would just explain, lol. That is me though. I am explain those things because to me sex is natural and instinctive. My daughter is 8 and comes to me with questions and I answer them, just as she has always done. I would rather she hears from me than at the playground. The kids in her grade 3 class already laugh at little dirty jokes and minor sexual things... so I would rather she have the facts from home. And when I was pregnant she asked alot of questions. She was 7 years old than. I answered all of them as matter of fact.

Your answer is funny though, lol.... quick thinking!
