    Sex is part of our world too, but I don't think a 4 year old should know about that either. Drugs are a part of our world, war is a part of our world, there are a lot of things that are a part of our world that I don't think a 4 year old should be knowledgeable about or concerned with at their age.

      at 4 I am sure the child has really NO CLUE what that means. I am sure they are just repeating it or Maybe they have a gay person in their family or friend.

      I would just say, thanks for sharing and move on..

        I have thought since I first met him, that his father might be gay. His parents were divorced before they came to my daycare. I just pulled up his facebook and looked through his pictures and read some of his friends' comments on his pictures. He does have a lot of gay friends. And there are a good bit of comments like ' looking sexy' and calling him good looking, general flirting, etc. from his male friends.

          I have been to DC, I know it is much much more conservative than here. Even Gorgetown is much more unlike where I live, so I just go with the flow anything goes. I remember I ride the subway first time my life there in DC and everyone stare at me and my mother. My mother was dressed from head to toe in traditional Egyptian clothing and I was wearing a short sun dress with my bathing suit under. We were staying at a hotel with a large pool and wanted to go to capitol hill and walk around. WOW were people harsh. My mother and I were dress the very opposite.

          Perhaps this is why the child says it. Maybe he knows someone who is and he already knows he is not.

          My cousins brothers are both gay and knew from the age of 2-4. I remember one year my cousin telling me that he wish to be a girl on his 3rd B-day. This was about 40 years ago and I just laughed.

          I think that if you just don't make a deal out of it, the kids won't either
