I think you probably both share the same amount of DNA with that person but Ancestry's Timber algorithm has reduced yours to below 8 cM and not your son's. I have lots of matches where it shows me sharing more DNA with them than my Dad does, but when I look at the "unweighted" figures, we both share the same amount.
