Isn't he a little too old to be doing this? (long):

Parenting Advice Please: Will my 7 year old boy make it to 8?
So, my beloved, academically advanced / socially behind boy-child had a pregnant teacher in his school last year (who is due about now). Both of my twins (he has a sister) love babies, and we updated our answer to the famous "where do babies come from" question in what we thought was an age appropriate way:
Babies come from their mommy's bellies. (Insertion method not discussed/more details on growing there/etc.)
We also revisited their birth story in a family history way: they were born by emergency Cesarean section due to my pre-eclampsia, so when we tell the tale, my daughter came out head first, bellowing her outrage, while my son came out bottom first "showing his butt to the world!" (with some funny laughs associated with the story which I like to think is because we tell the story in a loving, amusing way as part of our family history).
So, what is the problem? Well, apparently the recent retelling combined with pregnant teacher has sparked my son's observational skills, and he is now asking Every Single Woman He Meets In Public IF SHE IS PREGNANT.
Oh, he careful examines them first, looking for that tell-tale bump, and then out of the mouth of my probably-going-to-end-up-strangled boy child comes that obnoxious question:
"ARE YOU PREGNANT?"
80 year old grandma in a walker? Check. Teenage cashier at McDonalds? Check. Middle-aged women in the grocery store check out line? Check. His favorite aunt? Check. Total stranger at the community pool? Check. Mother of his soon-to-be-ex-best-friend? Check.
We've talked about why it is rude/impolite/inappropriate. I have darn near clapped my hand over his mouth when we were at the grocery store (multiple women all glaring daggers at me for raising such a rude, impolite child!), but his ability to blurt the question out due to his overwhelming curiosity is apparently stronger than any fear of my parental wrath I have yet been able to instill.
Plus, he doesn't seem to be doing it to be mean - he genuinely seems to want to know, and just doesn't have the social whatever that tells him he is walking that fine line near doom. He isn't a STUPID child - he just taught himself division over the summer - but he is tall for his age, and that is not helping the situation, either.
Anybody have any ideas short of a shock collar around his neck? (I joke. I think. I am getting desperate!) We are invariably in public when these things happen, and rarely in a place where I can swoop him out instantaneously to punish him for an offense that honestly, I do not think he really understands he is making.
I keep reminding myself we *wanted* him to be able to talk; now I am questioning our wisdom!
"ARE YOU PREGNANT?" ARGH! Help?

"Is she pregnant?"......"No son, she's just another fat, foodstamp using, DUmmie."

Those people are exactly right in their assessment of the brat.
That kid is the predictable result of DUmpmonkey "parenting".
-
Maybe she can use this as an opportunity to teach her kid about appropriate behavior. I doubt it though, that's clearly someone else's responsibility.

Crazy eyed idiot...your child is a brat because you do not punish it.
-
A normal seven-year-old wouldn't behave like that.
It's very possible the kid is retarded.
Drug abuse during pregnancy is normal for DUmmies.
And one mentioned that since discovering she was pregnant she quit smoking, except for when she was drinking.

I know what my Mom would have done to me, and I wouldn't have been doing it anymore whether I understood why or not. But unlike the IdaBriggs primitive, my Mom wasn't a moonbat. And she didn't look like the female version of Marty Feldman.
This explains part of it:

4... I did not learn some of the social conventions myself until I was in my late teens.
So some of it is inherent stupidity. Moonbat parents raise moonbat kids to be future moochers.

I think you all are missing the biggest, and most obvious question in regards to DUmbass Ida having a 7 year old son: Somebody actually ****ed that crazy, hateful, bug-eyed bitch?

Poor stupid rsmithnumbers probably couldn't.
DUmmy stevenumbers, on the other hand, would crawl over razor blades to hit it.

Her "intelligent" son at 7/8 yrs old can't be told not to ask women if they are pregnant? Hell, I can tell my 3 yr old son not to ask a woman that and he understands. :whistling:
