Today, thanks to an idiotic, "hilariously edgy" advert that screened in the very early evening, my 6-year-old son keeps repeating the phrase "I want a vasectomy" to everyone he sees. I've never received so many dirty looks in my life. FML

Well, look on the bright side; your son has excellent eloquence. Most six-year-olds can't pronounce vasectomy.

Some advertisements and commercials have gotten ridiculous nowadays.I remember sitting with my parents when ads for erectile dysfunction and a healthy sex life came on. It was a silent, awkward 45 seconds every time.

Come on, the Aldi adverts are great! My personal favourite being "I don't like tea, I like gin." Lighten up, they're more creative than the other ads on TV. Plus "vasectomy" isn't a bad word. At least he's not throwing swear words around. If people give you dirty looks, ignore them. It's none of their business and they should understand that sometimes kids pick up words. Or you could look them in the eye and say, "four syllables. Impressive, huh?" Let them think your kid is a medical genius.

I had to try and explain to my six year old daughter what vasectomy means following this ad! Ended up telling her it stops daddy from planting a seed that grows into a baby in a mummies tummy.....

I think that's funny. People should know that children pick up funny phrases.

oh this isn't that bad. when my sister was that age she would go up to strangers (men) and say 'you have a penis and I have ******'. she grew out of it and so will your son. best of luck op

I'm on an iPhone and I can see the user name. Maybe it's because I'm on the old FML app? :S

You're the parent! If you don't like it then tell him to knock it off.

And...you aren't explaining to him how this isn't appropriate because...? See, too many parents like this come onto FML and whine about things their kids are saying/doing, but they do nothing to rectify the situation. OP, tell your son he shouldn't be saying that to anyone, and if he persists, punish him. God, I don't even have kids and I'd be a better parent than half the ones I see.

I think the phrase "I don't even have kids" voids any right you think you have to judge or advise on anyone else's parenting skills.

@64: I can tell you don't have kids... If you expect a 6-year-old to listen to you like you are talking about, you are going to have a very hard time when you get your first id :p.

Im so sad that i actually got exited because I've seen that ad

Haha, isn't that the Aldi one? Where they compare the nappies :D
