What has your child said that embarrassed the crap out of you???

Just the other day I took my girls up to Myrtle Beach for a weekend getaway. One morning I felt like breakfast for lunch so I took them to IHOP. There was a wait so we were all squished onto a bench and happened to be the only white family there in the waiting area. It was super quiet when my 4-year-old chimed in with a half whisper half sly voice, "Mama, is everyone black?" I was so embarrassed and wasn't sure what to say so I just said, "No honey but it doesn't matter," and my 7-year-old quickly chimed in with, "Alicia! Skin color doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is how nice a person is!" So my 7-year-old saved the moment and I felt like a good mom lol. With that said I guess it's time to get the 4-year-old back into preschool and re-socialize her! Also, when my oldest daughter was two my husband and I were walking through a military PX. Again, all was quiet and she was in the cart. Out of nowhere she said, "My daddy has a p3nis and it's thiiiiiiiis big," as she spread her arms out nice and wide. A week prior she caught him dressing and so her interested was peaked. One day after that incident she was coloring in a book and on one page was a pair of plums on a twig and she went running up to her daddy and said, "Daddy look! Plums! You have plums too," and just walked away all proud. We thought it was so funny and wrong at the same time. Thankfully she got over all that in a matter of a couple weeks.

children can say a lot of things which adults cannot. People are more forgiving towards them. however if a child criticize another person and hurt their ego, i guess it will be very embarassing for the parents.

When my son was about two years old, we were in the grocery store. He was sitting in the cart being good, when all of a sudden he grabbed my boob and started saying boobie,boobie, boobie. I have no idea where he learned that one from and at the time, I wanted to slide under the display case. Luckily only a few people saw it and they were too busy laughing to notice my embarrassment. Kids will do and say the darndest things.

I actually mentioned this in another discussion but it really relates to what your topic too ... unfortunately LOL After getting ourselves and my first daughter (who was around 3 at the time) ready one morning, I drove her to my mom's. She was our babysitter while we were at work. Apparently, after I dropped her off, she said, "Grandma, my daddy has a tail." My mom nearly choked on her coffee and responded with some lame "that's nice, dear" or whatever -- hoping she'd drop it LOL Instead, she persisted... "He DOES Grandma. I saw it. I went in the bathroom and Daddy said go away! Really loud!" LOL He hadn't told me that she wandered in right as he was getting out of the shower! We're not hyper over things like that (especially when the girls were really young) but she startled him. My poor mother... she just didn't want to hear about it.

Did you ever have another child? LOL! My daughter was six and my best friend and I had her inbetween us as we drove to the store, While I was there, my friend decided to teach her that policemen could be called "Piggies". On the way home, we were stopped at a traffic light and a policecar stopped next to me, the window down, I turned and smiled at them and my daughter jumps up and shouts "Piggy, piggy, PIGG-gy!" past my ear. My girlfriend starts laughing and thank goodness the light changed and I took off. I was livid and pulled over and put her in the back, telling her that was not nice. She points at "Aunty" and says she told her it was good. I had half a mnind to put "Aunty" out to walk. She saw my face and apologised, telling my daughter she had been fooling her. My daughter got even, she called my friend Aunt Piggy the next day. It was my turn to laugh.

My most embarrassing moment didn't includes words as much as the action...... my son was 3 and we were at a burger king standing in line. a young skinny little girl (maybe 20yrs old) was in front of us, she was wearing a little crop top and low cut jeans, she had a tattoo on her back..... My son being the courious little guy he is, reached up and pulled her pants down to get a better look.......I was shocked, my husband thought it wad the coolest thing ever, and when girl turned around my son says "thats pretty"...... so she happily pulls them down to show him the whole tattoo (and her tiny little g-string)...I had never been so enbarrassed in my life. and my husband, well he still won't go out to eat without him, just in case he has another chance of getting another view like that.

My son loves the cartoon character Cheese from Fosters Home For Imaginary friends. One time while we were in Wal-Mart, he started saying lines from the show. We were right next to an elderly couple and he looks at them and says "I have Ring Worm!" in the cheese voice. That couple gave me the worst look. I just hurried him down the aisle as fast as I could.

my boys are now 44 41 and 26 the youngest still lives with us and he is full of fun , my mum phoned the other night and asked to speak to me , he said " sorry granny mum says to tell you she isn't in" all in fun of course as I would never do that , she is my best friend , xx

My sister once said this to my mom when they were at the store,she looked at some old lady and said,some people used to be new and now they are old,or something like that and my mom was pretty embarassed.

One time my cousin and I were shopping and my godson was about 4 and very smart for his age. We were standing in line Christmas shopping and there were people in front of and behind us. All of a sudden my godson says "Mama you farted" She said "Jason,no I didn't now that's not something we talk about" He than says "Don't lie mom, I heard it and I smelled it. You don't have to lie, it's okay" *By now I am just about peeing myself* She then says to him "that's enough about it..period" Not being satisfied and knowing that she really did do it... he says to the guy next to her.." did you hear her fart or smell it? Mom I know you farted and now you're lying and you always tell me not to". I finally came to my senses and led him away by the hand and explained it to him as we waited at the front of the store. Oh my God it was so funny, he just wouldn't let it go....lol My cousin was so red faced you could see all the viens in her face and neck...hahaha

Well, with 5 kids I could think of quite a few, but probably the most embarrassing involves my youngest. I actually won a humour writing competition with my story of this! My son is 10 now, this happened when he was 5. We were out shopping and while I was at one of the counters, he wandered off to a nearby one. Suddenly, he started shouting to me about the fact that he'd found "a big brown c-o-c-k" that I would really like. When I didn't respond, he came up to me and very loudly said "But Mummy, I thought you said you needed a new c-o-c-k because the old one doesn't work properly and you can't see it because it's too small". Should anyone be in any doubt as to what it was he was describing, it was something that tells the time! (Grrr ... I can't say "c-o-c-k"? What if I was a farmer and talking about my farm birds?!?!?!)

Okay here it goes! One Saturday we were at at Fish Fry. My children all were participating in an all-city drum corp at the time. The director happened to be at the fry. As people were leaving to go home and there was a small amount of people left, my youngest daughter who was 5 or 6 at the time walks up to him and says, "Mr.Thompson, my Mom says you are really crazy". I didn't know what to say because I did say that. When I made the comment I was simply refering to his unorganized actions. Isn't it weird how kids absorb all that you don't want them to take in?

my daughters 8 and she sees and hears everything.I hate it when im trying to make up an excuse(kinda lying) so i dont have to do something and shes standing right there cuz she ALWAYS busts me out.And if im hiding something from my parents..guess whos the first one to tel them what im hiding...her!!!She knows too much cuz she listens too much.If im on the phone with someone shell be sitting there acting like shes watching tv but i know her little sneaky butt is kistening to me lol.

lolz... it's pretty normal for kids her age... i'm just waitin for my little girl to reach her age... then we'll see which mum is more embarrassed more... hahahahaa... =D My little one is already stressing me out with her "why" questions... =X

Yesterday I was at the store getting a few things with my six year old son. He asked me if he could pick out a game to buy, and I didn't want to get it, so I told him that I didn't have enough money with me to buy it. Then today we were at the grocery store doing a full food-shopping trip, and as I was filling up our food carriage, my son asked me SOOO LOUDLY...."Mom, how are we going to pay for all of this? You said we didn't have any money...." I felt my face getting bright red, and I just told him to be quiet. Of course I had money, but he made it sound like we were dirt poor!

OH my gosh...they have said too many things to count. The most recent thing I guess would be a week or so ago we were getting out of the car at walmart. I got my 5 yr old son out and went around to get my 2 yr old daughter. A dwarf woman was coming out of the store pushing a basket and had a little girl in the basket. My son--as this woman nears us-- says "ahhh..mommy...look at the little baby mama". "why is she so little?" LOL I wanted to crawl in a hole and die!!! I never ignore one of my kids' questions, but I was so embarrased. I finally got my compausre and told him that some people are born smaller than other people, but they can still have babies and all. Another thing I just thought of with my son just happened this last Thursday. When he was potty trained, we taught him to sit on the toilet and go teetee. Well, he has always done it this way...sitting. I have tried in the last year or so to teach him to stand up, but he freezes up everytime and can't go unless he's sitting. Well, apparently at school Thursday he decided he wanted to stand like the other boys. He did and when I went to pick him up, he comes out of the room saying "mommy, guess what? I tee-teed in the potty standing up and holding my p.enis!!!" There were 22 other kids and their parents standing all around! Now, I am not embarrased that he told me or that he used the word because he has always been taught the proper names of the anatomy, but to just run out of the room and burst out this news that was obviously VERY important to him!! LOL So cute! :)

My hubby worked nights and was training a new employee, who I referred to as his "girlfriend". My 4 year old went to preschool and somehow dads got brought up, and she told her teacher she doesn't see her daddy because he's with his "girlfriend" all night. I thought I was gonna die! I had to explain it not only to the teacher but to all the parents whose kids went home and said "__ daddy has a girlfriend at night."

My DD does this alot. She is forever telling complete strangers my age, among other things. I remember once when she was...oh 5ish. We were waiting somewhere and this "kid" sat next to her. He was a little slow, but super nice to her/us. All of a sudden, she looks at him and says, "Whew! You stink! You need a bath mister!" I was wishing I could melt into the chair I tell ya! He was super nice about it though. He just laughed and commented on how kids will say the darndest things. We have had many a discution about the "taboo" topics. Now Honey, what do we NOT talk about??? Oh Mommy, we don't talk about peoples size, their age, or their facial hair. Especially if it is a girl! Me

My son was 9 at the time and the phone rang. I did not want to talk to anyone so I told him just take a message because I have not gotten home yet. well he answered the phone and said she is not here, the voice on the other end spoke, he kind of pulled the phone away and said "mom, it is your friend do you want me to tell her your not here?" well after that I had to get on the phone and I was so embarressed I will never do that again.

My friend's daughter said the funniest thing to her in the public rest room of a department store one time....I'm not sure I can post it here, but trust me....it was hilarious and so funny that the women in the other stalls were laughing out loud.
