agreed. why not make it clear by defusing the situation by saying something like, "honey, Simon is a puppy and he doesn't know any better but it is not OK for you to do that." and POW! you have avoided major embarrassment...and are just embarrassed slighty

he probably doesn't even relate the word "hump" to anything sexual. he just thinks it's something funny that the dog does, and was trying to be funny

Yeah, but where did he even hear the word "hump" to begin with? Granted, he probably overheard his parents say it when the dog was humping something and you're right, he doesn't relate it to anything sexual, but they still shouldn't have said it around him. That's still majorly embarrassing!

"Humping" is not a vulgar or sexual only term. Get your heads out of your butts already! Even for a kid there's nothing wrong with that term. It relates to the movement, NOT to penetration.

The things on camels backs are called humps. I knew that when I was little, long before the sex term.

i didn't. lol

I thought he was sexually being harassed at school.

kids say the darndest things

At that age, most humans are capable of speech. Not everyone is as delayed as you are.

I think he meant the word hump.

"hump" is profanity?

to a 3 year old

To someone who tends to be treated like 'stupid' is a naughty word.

glorbnakcs - it's not profanity but it's a vulgar word for a 3yo to be using.

I knew the word hump when I was that young, but I knew it as the thing on a camel's back.

well not everyone is raised the way...-_-

the *same way

The mom or dad probably yelled "no don't hump that" at the dog? Kids pick up whatever word you don't want them to say no matter how infrequently you say it.
