There is a possibility that my son is going to get kicked in the balls by a girl tomorow. Yesterday he grabbed the b*****s of an older girl at the bus stop and then ran away. He's only 12 for goodness sake! I think he must have done it to impress his friends, because I certainly did not bring him up that way.
At any rate, he seems to be in trouble now. This girl told a friend who then told my daughter who told us (with some amusement) that when she sees him she's going to "kick him in the balls." I'm not sure if she's serious or not, but the news certainly has my son scared. I offered to call the the girl's mother but to my surprise he seems to prefer a blow to the testicles to the social consequences of letting his mother get involved. I have thought about purchasing an athletic cup for him but it occurs to me that this might be a valuable learning experience for him and maybe the kick is warranted.
So I have two questions really. Is he really old enough to be getting a kick in the balls for the first time? And if she she actually does it, is it a fair response?
