Never saw this thread before. Pretty funny. The reason your kid said that is because he's a young boy. After puberty, you don't tell people your balls were just crushed, you just fall over writhing in pain and feel like barfing for about 3 hours.

A webcast of a horse show? Is that anything like a donkey show?

would you rather your son say testicles? I think that would be sooo weird at that age... he'd be like one of those know it all obnoxious nerd kids.

As I sit here watching a live webcast of a horse show while also trying to find out what Eddie is playing tonight, I hear my almost 7-year old son (b-day is next week) say "Oh my God, you crushed my balls".

My older son (10), my almost-son (11, my neighbor's son), and my youngest boy were playing with the dogs when I heard my son utter the "balls" statement. Now, this isn't the first time I have heard testicles referred to as "balls" in my house and I don't know why it bothers me. I guess I can't accept the fact that my first grader is saying "balls"....it makes him seem older than he is. I'll deal with that later.

Men, what is up with "the balls"? I understand the physicality of getting kicked in the balls and, although tempted, I can truly say that I have never done that to a man. However, the terminology of saying "I have him by the balls" seems to give power to the person making that statement.......does a man feel threatened if he hears that he is "had by the balls"?

I've reached a new low. This feels like a philosophical essay on the word "balls". I have two boys, I'm only trying to understand.

I get that.

My point was: why the hell was my innocent 7 year old son talking about his "balls" when he wasn't hurt and crying like I've seen men cry when their balls are crushed, so to speak. When I heard "you crushed my balls" with no primal screaming, it made me wonder when men use the "balls" as terminology to express something other than physical pain. I can't believe that the relationship between emotional pain and using "crushed my balls" as an excuse starts at age 7.

I'll get my Ph.D. in this subject....just you wait.

Probably because he has heard other guys say it, in life on tv whatever and doesn't actually know what that means. Kids say all sorts of things that they don't understand. Once you've suffered a shot to the balls, you don't throw those phrases around. You learn it's serious business.

The only exception to this is when someone's bustin' your balls.

funny....but no.

I have horses and the "Super Bowl" of horse shows was last week in Louisville, KY. I wasn't able to go to the show so I watched it via the webcast. Sorry, a rather boring answer in this quite funny thread...if I must say so myself.

Do your balls hang low?
Do you drag them in the snow?
Do you beat your meat, on the toilet seat?
Can you tie them in a knot, Can you tie them in a bow?
Do you play with your wang, with the reat of the gang?
Do your BALLS HANG LOW!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.
