JD Vance wants to ban these numbers after his 5-year-old went ‘absolutely nuts’ at church, and every parent in America agrees

Vice President JD Vance jokingly said he wants to create a special rule to ban the numbers “six” and “seven” forever. Every parent in America understands why. He made this comment after his 5-year-old son, Vivek, lost control during church service, saying the annoying phrase over and over. If you have a young child, you know exactly what he means, and it’s a nightmare for parents.

The Bible readings at church started on page 66-67 of the missal. That was all it took. Vance said his son went wild, repeating “six seven” about 10 times. This made it hard for everyone trying to stay quiet in church. He then joked, “And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the first amendment and ban these numbers forever.”

This meaningless phrase has been heard in schools all year, making kids laugh and giving adults headaches. Young children are obsessed with it. Parents and teachers everywhere agree with Vance’s joke. Kids sometimes do an annoying hand move with the chant, moving their hands up and down with palms facing up. This shows how a simple two-number phrase can drive people crazy.

The viral trend has no real meaning behind it

If you don’t know what “six-seven” means, don’t worry. It means nothing. The trend comes from a song called “Doot Doot (6 7)” by rapper Skrilla. The song just repeats “six-seven” over and over. While the rapper had his own reason for it, young people online started linking the song to basketball players, especially LaMelo Ball, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall.

Skrilla talked about the song last month. “Six-seven represents my brain. I just come up with it in my head,” he said. Everyone he played it for liked it because it was funny. He posted it on Instagram to see what people thought, and it became hugely popular. While Vance deals with playground trends, Trump’s recent alarming statements about lawmakers have grabbed national attention.

Adults are now fighting back against the noise. Some parents and teachers respond with “eight, niiiine” to stop the chant. Others dressed up as sixes and sevens for Halloween.

The best solution comes from Indiana, where police are giving fake “tickets” to kids caught saying the phrase. The Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office got involved because the problem was so bad. A deputy said in a video that it’s now against the law to use “six” and “seven.” 

The only exceptions are for math problems or saying someone’s age. This shows that when something annoys everyone enough, communities work together to stop it. Meanwhile, Trump’s mandatory policy faced a major setback in federal court this week.
