I asked him what he saw and he said that his uncle was naked. He dosent know what sex is of course but he knows something else was going on, i can tell by the look on his face. U have any experince in this? Should I bring it up again or just let it rest?

Good grief. Let it rest. If he is concerned about it he'll ask questions. Don't freak out. It happens. Just wait for him to ask....if he doesn't the don't worry. If he does then be honest...but speak at his age level. Don't make it a big deal....or it'll seem scary. You could say something like: "When grown-ups care for one another, they like to touch eachother. It's okay. Your uncle wasn't hurting (name/auntie). That is just something that grown ups do." Then ship him off to ride his bike or watch a movie.

If your six year old has a question, he'll ask. Just answer the question and don't elaborate. Kids usually don't need a lot of detail. My 8 yr old asked me why her uncle was so unhappy with her cousin who was 16 and pregnant. After all, she reasoned, God puts babies inside of a woman's tummy and we should all be happy. Man ... that was a toughie. I found that her curiosity was satisfied long before telling her all the details of how babies are made.
Tell him what he wants to know and nothing more.

Just let it rest because the more you focus on it with him the more he will think about and know that there was something wrong that he saw kids pick up on alot more than we give them credit for but move on and be prepared to answer kindly but no big deal sorts what he asks.

If you think it's bothering him, then definitely bring it up. He may have already gotten the impression that this is something "we don't talk about".
Tell him that there is a special kind of hugging that only adults (or only married adults--depending on your own morality and the situation he observed) do. You can add that it probably looked pretty weird. And that he'll understand it better when he's older.

I think waiting til he asks more questions is the best option. He may forget all about it.
Oh ask the uncle to be more careful about locking the door. I understand people get caught up in the momet, but still....

Kids don't understand, they think someone was being hurt. Like the uncle was hurting the woman. Give a simple explanation and leave it at that.

I walked in on my aunt using the rest room, and I was a little freaked out..(and honestly don't know why) but I think it might be a good idea to just give a shot explanation of why... well, I think you might just get my point.

that depends on what kids at school tell him
my son came home from school and told me all about sex and all the gory details
he was told by a 13 year old how it happens.
his explaination to me was
as follows:
mommy my penis is for sticking it into a girls vagina you know the middle whole, and i go like this (moving his hips back and forth) until we both *** that is when i get stuff coming out the tip
yeah i was mad and had to explain it all over
he's 7
and knows all bout it thanks to kids on his bus.
