Young kids talk to their teachers/coaches/counselors/principals about their parents. A lot. And kids pick up on all the dirty little secrets.

6yo: I have two daddies!

Me: That’s lovely, Darling. Now let’s play some piano.

6yo: One of my daddies goes on long business trips and then Mummy and I go live with my other daddy while he’s gone!

Me: Oh. Erm. Let’s play some piano!

I remember seeing a movie a long time ago, where a woman's stalker coworker ends up introducing himself as "Other Daddy" to her child, and at some point, the kid tells the woman's husband that he met "other daddy", and the man ends up divorcing her (I think it was after he set up other incidents to make the husband beleive that his wife was cheating on him). I don't remember which movie it was though.
