Little boy on my block wants to be my buddy (I'm a full grown man)
I moved to a new neighborhood. This little dude on my street always rides his bike around my house and he sort of loiters, waiting for me to make an appearance. He's the smallest of the roving group of neighborhood boys, so I'm thinking maybe he gets picked on a bit or left behind. When I'm doing yard work or moving groceries into the house he'll come by and we chat a bit. He tells me about video games and TikTok (frankly I can't understand half the stuff he says). Anyway, the other day I was in my garage, it was hot, I had my shirt off, the door was open and he came all the way in. I didn't freak out or anything, I just put down what I was doing and I said let's go back outside. I don't know who his parents are! I know they live on the street, but I genuinely don't know what they look like. I've told him to wave at me and introduce me to his parents when he's with them but I never see him with them. I've seen him go into two different houses down the block, I think maybe it's an extended or multi family situation.
My question to dads is - what is the simplest, safest way to try to find the parents and introduce myself? I don't want to tell my little buddy TAKE ME TO YOUR PARENTS but I also don't want his parent seeing him entering my garage while I'm shirtless! I also don't want him to feel like he's doing something wrong if I say hey man I need to meet your parents before we can hang out.
One last thing, the block is small but it isn't very "communal". It's a diverse group of ages and socioeconomic status. We don't have block parties or big get togethers. People say hi but I don't think there's much socializing, so I really doubt I will casually run into them anytime soon.
