Is that child ‘safe’ Mr G? Maybe a parent/older child just explained something weirdly to them. But you’re not his main teacher right? You wouldn’t be able to monitor if he says other weird things. Sorry I’m just being a suspicious person here :-S
That’s a legitimate question, and you’re not the first person to raise the concern, so I’ll go ahead and address it…
I’ve known this boy for three years and have subbed for his class many times. His teacher is a friend of mine. He is not abused – he has a loving family that takes good care of him. He is autistic and has a gift for gab, and he spins wild yarns of imagination and length as a matter of course. He also has a speech impediment, so I usually understand about 75% of what he’s saying. This comic quote is just a fraction of a long explanation about daydreams, and he didn’t even say “butt” – that’s my change. He said “…a daydream is when you have something in your ____ like a teddy bear or a unique doll.” I didn’t understand the word, so I picked “butt” simply because it’s funny and I have a juvenille sense of humor. It could have been “bed,” or “chest,” or anything really, because none of what he said had anything to do with daydreams. He actually had no idea what a daydream is – I had to teach him after his long and ridiculous explanation. In short, he makes shit up.

This is amazing! Is it unethical to want children just so you can be entertained by the crazy things they say? I hope not;)
