Yes, I know, Godot. Thank you. Your answer was considerate and thoughtful. Of course I don't want him to feel any way about his size. His size is fine. He is a super kid, really fantastic. That's why I'm thinking that maybe I should respond when I hear family members bragging. I usually smile and nod politely. I've thought maybe I should very matter of factly say, 'oh, well my kid is small. Very small. We are very small, my husband and I', but I think that sounds silly.
The idea is how to respond in a way that lets my kid know that he is fine, a really super kid, so he doesn't say, 'oh, my parents don't say such and such about me'. I was just wondering what other parents say and do in these situations.
