Should I 'lighten up' or would you be annoyed?

We live on the same road as my 3 childrens (10,9,7) school. We are directly across the road and the lollipop lady stands at our gate.

Everyone, including teachers comes past our house to get to and from school.

My husband changed the large let it snow sticker we had in our window so it says 'melon tits' on Thursday night
I didn't notice until I got home from work on Friday night. (I had some messages from people I know about it but can't check my personal phone at work. I have a work phone for emergencies)

Im not amused and I've taken it down.
He thinks it's funny and I should lighten up and put it back.

Hey SleepingWhilstStanding.

In a word, yes.

@Ionlydomassiveones

“GetTheFlockOutOfHere Oh dear God, imagine being married to some of the women on here.... Their poor men! (if they have one! I can't imagine most men staying with them tbh.”

Poor men? Not being adulated for their sparkling wit of finding the word tits hilarious? You cool wives are welcome to those ones.

Ooooh, I have never been called a cool wife before. Grin

Chillax. You'll live longer.

Camembear · 28/11/2021 17:09

It’s funny but I wouldn’t want the kids to see it!

CaMePlaitPas · 28/11/2021 17:11

Well I'm sitting here giggling like a school boy.

Poocalypso · 28/11/2021 17:12

Hahahahahahahahahaha (sorry!)

BestZebbie · 28/11/2021 17:13

Has he watched too much Captain Underpants recently? :-)

AlyssasBackRolls · 28/11/2021 17:24

Wasn't that a gag from the Motherland Christmas Special? Not sure I believe the OP!

Jibberjabberhutt · 28/11/2021 17:28

@authenticforgery

Yanbu, it's so immature I'd be cringing for him.
These competitively po-faced comments on here are so funny.
Imissmoominmama · 28/11/2021 17:30

Sorry, I laughed.

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 28/11/2021 17:37

I prefer ‘le tits now’

Topseyt · 28/11/2021 17:41

I think it's funny, and especially in view of the primary school and the lollipop lady.

My kids would have loved it. No pearl clutching in this house.

drpet49 · 28/11/2021 17:41

* I'd be pissed off with him,not seeing how inappropriate this is right outside a primary school AND outside our kids school where their friends, their friends parents & teachers will all see it.*

I love a game of Cards Against Humanity, I don't find what the OP's husband has done offensive. I just think it is childish and unfunny. That's all.

I just have a different sense of humour from most posters on here.

Keepitonthedownlow · 28/11/2021 17:47

I think it's funny.

JohnDee007 · 28/11/2021 17:52

I would be embarrassed, not by the message, but by being married to someone who thought this was funny.

mum11970 · 28/11/2021 17:59

I’m childish and would’ve found it funny.

girlmom21 · 28/11/2021 18:02

@DriftingBlue

Time and place and he missed the mark on both.

I do think a good set of letter magnets should be waiting under the tree for him. Just make sure it’s not just the plain alphabet set for kids. Far too limiting. Maybe one of those letterboard signs or even light up signs that were so trendy a couple years ago.

It would be funnier to buy him Junior Scrabble but I can't see the OP going for it
girlmom21 · 28/11/2021 18:03

@JinglingHellsBells

I'm with you OP.

I can't even start to understand why

1 A grown man would even think about writing that

2 Think it's funny

2 Not consider the kids and mums and the LLL who read it.

Complete wanker

Why are there two 2's? Are they both equally important?

What's a LLL? Lollipop lady? Bit sexist.

JinglingHellsBells · 28/11/2021 18:10

@girlmom21

The 2nd 2 is a typo. Easy for you to work out :)

The LLL is indeed that ,as posted by the OP right at the very start of her post.

We are directly across the road and the lollipop lady stands at our gate.

RainLol · 28/11/2021 18:16

I just genuinely don’t see what was funny about it.

Buy more letter stickers and write jingle ballsack.
Is that funny?
Little humour for the world?

iklboo · 28/11/2021 18:19

We changed our Merry Christmas to Mr R Creamy Shits one year.

Winterfellismyhome · 28/11/2021 18:19

Calling dibs for "melon tits" to be my next username

SupremeCommanderTrinityRhino · 28/11/2021 18:27

I would have just laughed. Don't see why it's a big deal. Nothing wrong with some silliness.

riotlady · 28/11/2021 18:30

Sorry I actually think that’s quite funny xD

SarahJeffers341 · 28/11/2021 18:36

It’s just a bit cringe! Kind of funny if you’re 12… you must know this is his kind of humour? Not something I would find attractive!
