Gender confusion

I just picked J up from school. Upon getting in the car, he usually tells me about his day. Today I asked him if he had fun with his friends.

J: I play with my friends. But Mrs. Tammie wasn't there.
Me: Where was she?
J: Mrs. Tammie at the Dr. I miss Mrs. Tammie. I need her to come back.
M: Well, I'm sure you had fun with Ms. Susan.
J: I play with Ms. Susan and a big guy.
M (thinking 'big guy' must be Mrs. Tammie's substitute): What was his name?
J: Actually, it might be a lady.

I just hope he didn't fill big-guy/might-be-a-lady in on his doubts.
