[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 229755, member: 3626"] I'm glad you can differentiate between the "normal" kid stuff and the other. It is hard and sometimes the line is nearly invisible. I do agree that the pocketknife was a typical boys' thing. What's sad is that your son did the right thing and not the other boy. I think I'd be watching that friendship very carefully. It sounds like the other boy may not as good of a kid as you think. As to giving the other boy a Christmas gift, I'm not sure this was in the category of buying the friendship so much as wanting to give a gift to a friend. There is a difference. My daughter would steal from me and give the money to kids to play with her at recess. Broke my heart when she did that. Today, she does like giving gifts to friends and is now careful to not go overboard in what she gives. [/QUOTE]
