They're overreacting

Casadena

Dear Prudence,

Our neighbors down the block are expecting their second child soon. Their 3-year-old son “Albert” frequently plays with my son “Manny,” who is the same age.

Albert’s parents are shall we say, less than enlightened when it comes to things like sex, and told him his new brother will be brought by Mr. Stork (I’m not kidding) around the time Albert’s mother is due. Albert repeated this to Manny. My husband and I were honest with our son about where babies come from when he asked us when he was 2 years old, and Manny proceeded to correct the record for Albert. Now Albert’s parents are furious and won’t let them be friends anymore. Should I apologize for my son, or is it better to let this one fizzle out?

Be glad he didn't tell them about the Easter Bunny.

Poor Manny is going to grow up without any friends if his parents keep freaking out over what other children tell him.
