I was a deer in the headlights....
 

When my 5 year old boy comes up to me and begins to tell me that Barbie is ok...but Ken is just sexy.......

I don't think I said anything for 4 hours.

I would respond to this post, but I'm currently on the floor, laughing my ass off. :D

No one said parenting would be easy. ;)

Ken is sexy!!!!!!???????? OMG, skipthisone! What to say, what to say?

if i were you, I wouldnt buy him any GI Joes for his birthday...

I dont know what shocked me more, him using the word "Sexy" a word I had never heard him use, or that Barbie was just "OK"...

I hear ya! Ken is sexy coming out of a five-year-old's mouth is jarring enough, let alone that it's the same sex. I know you were shocked but if I were you, I'd ask him some questions about it when the time is right. 'What do you mean by sexy?' He might even just have the word sexy confused with something else.

Oh not to worry STO....he probably heard someone say it! Could be one of his little female friends said it! Remember kids say the darndest things...;)

Have to run to the bathroom now LMAO

STO, Steph may be right. I was talking to my five-year old yesterday, and he ended the conversation with, "That sucks." When I told him we don't really say that, his response was, "Why? What does it mean?" He obviously had heard it somewhere and wanted to sound cool by repeating it. Could be something similar in your case.

Hey Skip you can get him GI Joe and other freinds at Toys R Us. ROTFLMAO

Dang that's almost as bad as my baby brother asking my Mom if she liked da fruck (umm did I mention Mom had 6 boys in a few days less than 7 yrs?) :eek: ...... it took her a little while to realise he was asking if she liked to drive Dad's truck. LOL
I'm sure the ladies are right about the possible misuse of the word Hon.... I know how it feels to wonder where they get this stuff.

It reminds me of being in a restraunt when my boy was about two and a half.

He told the waitress that he didn't want a 'poon...he wanted a fuck! Still shake my head over that one :)

OMG how could Ken be sexy when he has no genitalia?!?

OMG! This is too cute for words!

I'm wondering what your son would think of Stretch Armstrong or He-Man.....LOL! And skip.....I agree with those before me......please pass on the GI Joe. Especially the one with the kung fu grip! LOL! JK hun!

Seriously......I think he did indeed hear this from someone else. Children are mini tape recorders. He doesn't own Barbie and Ken...does he? Even if he does, I highly doubt he knows what sexy means. If he did he'd have to agree with scotz........sexy can only go so far when one has no genitalia!

If you are bold enough to want to hear the answer......you could ask him what he thinks "sexy" means. But you'll never know till you ask. If you aren't so bold.......and you don't want to hear the answer from him, get your S/O to ask him. I'm so curious now I can't wait for the answer!

Good luck babe! Gotta go pee now! LMAO!

To answer a few questions...

Yes, we have lots of Barbies in the house, I have a daughter and they are hers.

When I asked him last night what sexy meant...he said it means they are "hot".... I said "what does that mean to you"...and he said "that means you want to kiss them"....I dropped it.

So then we were sitting down to our Monday night gross out, we always watch Fear Factor....So anyway it was all women last night with 6 Miss USA girls on there...and he says "I wish they had boys on, I dont like it when it is just girls"

Just to let everyone know, none of this really bothers me. He has always been kind of like this from about 3 years old on. I have just never seen it so blatant. Oh well take what you get.

He's looking at role models, not sexual partners.
