Hi,I often watch movies and TV shows with my 9 yo nephew while babysitting him, and lately he's been saying weird odd things? Like when he sees certain girls, usually very pretty girls he will make comments like "I bet she could beat me up easy" or ask " could she beat me in a wrestling match or could she knock me out and give me a black eye" was another one. I just sort of laugh and shrug it off. One particular time I had one of the movie channels on and he had just come in from outside and I was in the next room putting the vacuum away and a Ashley Judd movie was on where shes fighting and beats a guy and he said something like "wow she could beat me and my dad up at the same time"
He was exuberant and Excited about it? Just find it a bit strange for a boy to make comments like that, almost like he wants to be beaten up by a girl? Anybody think this is normal? Should I say something to his mother? Because she hasn't said anything to me about it, or am I just making to much out of nothing? I'm thinking maybe he doesn't say anything like that at home, just around me? Any advice?
From what I've learned from watching my own nephews is that little kids are copy-cats. Almost (if not all) of everything they say they are copying. He's getting it from somewhere, parents, TV, or someone else they hang out with and imitate. I've heard my 5 year old nephew yell at his 8 year old brother: Don't you talk to me that way, I'm your mother! I would just bring it up to the parents what you've heard him say. That'll give them something to think about, at least. And perhaps they'll be more careful what they say around him or who he spends time with.

That could be, but I have my doubts. Thanks for the reply!
