A “male enhancement” commercial to your eight year old boy or 11 year old daughter?

My son & daughter (both are way past inquisitive) asked me what the Enzyte commercials were all about and "dad, do you take that medicine?"

Honestly my first time being embarrassed or stumped by a question from my kids!

Just be honest.

You could be honest... or go with something a little more abstract like "it's special medicine for older people whose peepees are a little bit sick so they feel better and can make babies."

Enzyte founder guilty of fraud

CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal court jury has found the owner of a company that sells "male enhancement" tablets and other herbal supplements guilty of bank fraud and money laundering.
Steve Warshak is founder and president of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, distributor of Enzyte and a number of products alleged to boost energy, manage weight, reduce memory loss and aid restful sleep.

Television ads for Enzyte feature "Smiling Bob," a goofy, grinning man whose life gets much better after he uses the product.

Warshak could face more than 20 years in prison and his company could have to forfeit tens of millions of dollars following the verdict on Friday.

My Kids can never think that their ROCK (ME!) is in any way sick or sub par! BTW I am very honest and not sick at all in that area! Although I found out last 2 weeks Friday, yes this sucks, I am allergic to gluten! I have been on a gluten free diet for the past 2 weeks and I feel like a new person!

I directed their questions!

I was just wondering about gluten free! I made my neighbor some cookies when they moved here and my other neighbors said that that lady can't have gluten. I'd like to be able to make her something gluten free. I will start a new thread thanks Hustle Man!

Oh, and I'd just be honest w/the kids....say that the guy is selling pills purported to enlarge units and that no, you don't take them.

Well he wants bigger muscles but I can't seem to connect the two issues with him because he knows he only needs to eat right and lift heavy to get bigger lol What a kid huh? My daughter left it alone lol!

I didn't say YOU. Just an eight year old might not want to hear the truth about life. I remember myself at eight, oh god no!

I'm thinking if my 9 yr old nephew sees that commercial and asks me

I'm saying

I remember asking my mother what "masturbation" is, at 10 or something...

She said she didn't really know.

My mom once said "masturbation" was a big word for a kid being obedient to his/her parent. Of course it backfired on her.

One time she had her friends over for an evening and of course that's the time I choose to use this new big word!

I remember one time her friend said to me "Gary, you are such a good kid, you help your mom out around the house that is very nice of you" and my reply would be "Just being the best masturbator I can be"! My mom would almost faint lol!

Of course I knew the meaning of the word by the time I said this to her friend but I had to get my mom for not being straight with me lol!

{LOL} Ahh the joys of parenthood. Excuse me for a moment while I ROTFLMAO at your pain.
I'm thinking back to the precocious little girl I was, and the many difficult questions I asked.
This is just the beginning my friend, ...they are going to give you many awkward moments in the years to come.

I would say "some men want their penis to be larger than it is, but that is not possible. The product they are advertising is fake."

If she said "why do they want that," at her age I would probably tell her "I don't know."

Except I really was the best masturbator!!!

Save yourself problems. Do like I do. Just mute the commercials when they are on. They are annoying as hell and not worthwhile to watch. We've been doing it for years and the kids have gotten used to muting them automatically.
