That's when you tell him it's for grown ups only

Get him a Barbie to upset hime he will never ask u for one again.
boys can have barbies - not all will want one but not all girls want one either.
Seems like you're just going out of your way to make someone feel bad about something they said. All this person said was that he probably wouldn't like a barbie. They didn't mention any gender related issues or anything else like that. It's just a common gift for everyone to dislike now a days with all the technology of today most people wouldn't just want a barbie. Especially if he thought it was something really special before
I meant that not all boys would be upset with a barbie so it wouldn't necessarily upset the boy, nor would it be appropriate to buy one with the intention of upsetting the child boy or girl. I didn't mean to make them feel bad so I am sorry if I did. I was not criticising them but it did seem to me that they were implying the boy would be upset because it was a 'girl's' toy and I don't agree with that. You are right, they didn't explicitly say that and I may have been wrong. I don't think buying a toy to upset a child is very fair, it might have been a joke but it is hard to tell on fml.
Kids see a magic element of marriage. When in doubt with that type of thing tell them it has to do with husbands and wives... has worked perfectly for us so far
So Santa is coming?
He's actually...you know, I'm going to take the high road on this one.
Well, of course he did. You made it seem like something he would want. If you'd just straight-up told him it was something for sex, or even just something that adults used, he would have lost interest immediately and moved on. I don't get why people are so concerned about things that fly right over children's heads. When I was little I saw a condom commercial on tv. I asked my mom about it. She said "oh, that's a condom; grown-ups use them for sex." My five-year-old brain went "Oh, not about me? Okay, back to my toys." And that was the end of it. I don't get why people act all weird about things like this, when it's such a natural part of life, and also something that the kid just won't care about once they've realized it doesn't affect them. Children have very short attention spans; just answer the questions they ask you and they'll be asking you something else completely unrelated within two minutes.

Honesty in parenting just isn't as easy as being your kid's BFFL I guess. But since I'm not going to have kids, what do I know?
Being honest with your child isn't being their "bff" it's being honest. Sex is a fact of life, a natural occurrence, and when a child asks things like this they should be answered in an honest age appropriate manner. Lying to them really doesn't do much good and makes it seem like sex is something that shouldn't be discussed. I agree with #28 a straight forward answer and then continue on.
sex is natural, sex toys ... aren't
I understand not wanting to go into too many details when explaining what a sex toy is to your 6 year old son, but you should have at least specified that it is for adults. Of course if you tell a young child about a new game, they will be curious and want to play it!

Give it about 10 or 12 years and he's going to LOVE this story.
"It's a game" Real smooth there
well since he is six I'd ask where he heard that from and explain to him that's it's a grown up deal and not a children's toy
at least you should have told him...that's for the kids with adult age...

Fun for the whole family!
I'm more concerned with where he heard or saw the word.
