Embarrassing things your child has said or done?

Question

Especially in public?

When my older two---who are now 9 and 10---were toddlers, and we were potty-training them, I would take our daughter, and my husband would take our son... We each had to deal with our kids saying, "I can hear that person peeing!" My poor husband had to hear our son shout, "It STINKS in here!" while someone was, um... you know. (My son has a loud voice, naturally.) Or such things as "Mom (or Dad) do YOU have to pee?" Or, "Now, YOU'RE going pee!"

One day, I had them in their side-by-side double stroller, at the store, and was waiting for hubby to return with the grocery cart... A worker in her 50's, walked by, and my son waved his hand in front of his nose, and said, "P-U!" right as she passed us! I was sooo embarrassed, as I'm sure the lady was, too, but I realized that he was talking about his sister... They were both in sandals, and he was playing around; saying that she had stinky feet! (But, that's not how it came across!)

Stories? :)

Answer 1

the most embarrissing thing I ever did to my mom I was about 3 years old and I couldn't see very well. my i was walking with her through the grosery store she had me hold on the cart while she got something. I turned around and there was this HUGE women bent over the ice chest looking for something. now being observent 3 year old I was. I shouted "MOM THAT LADY HAS A BIG BUT!" she said she disowned me until the lady walked away and then burst out laughing.

Answer 2

I cant wait to have my baby and hear those funny things that make you die laughing!!!  I do have a friend whos little girl said the funniest things.

She was 5 and my friend had gotten a boob job.  She was out of commission for a few days but didnt want to tell her daughter why.  After a while tho she finally broke down and told her but in a way that a 5 year old would get it and not be weirded out.  They were in the mall one day shopping and all the sudden she shouted "hey my mom got new b***s"  I cant imagine how embarissing it was for my friend and everyone her daughter told!!!

Id also like to add another thing she did.....She was also 5 when this happened as well.  She lost a tooth and her daddy only had 100 bill and it was late at night so he figured hed just put it under her pillow b/c shes 5 he didnt think she would know the difference between 100 or 1 or 10 so he could switch it out later. (dumb on his part)  She woke up the next morning and went into the living room and said look the tooth fairy gave me 100 dollars!!!  Needless to say he kinda had to let her keep it!!! They ended up starting a savings acct for her!!!

Answer 3

We were in church one day, when my daughter was about 3 years old, sitting next to a lady that was saying to my daughter, 'Oh you are so cute, how are you doing, you precious little thing."  My daughter says to the womand, which is about 65 years old, "Gosh you breath stinks, did you brush this morning?"  She was LOUD...the lady reached into her purse and pulled out a couple of mints.  She gave one to my daughter and put one in her mouth.

Later I explained to my duaghter that she was rude by telling the woman out loud that her breath stinks.  The very next Sunday, the woman was speaking to my daughter and while the lady was talking, my daughter pinched her nose closed so that she couldn't smell her breath, then she looked at me and said, "I'm not going to tell her that her breath stinks this time."  Again, out loud.  It was so funny that the woman had to just laugh with everyone else.

Answer 4

I took my son to Friendly's.  The hostess was leading the way to our table.  My son stopped at every table, and said, "this one? this one?"  I said, "no just follow the lady with me, she will show us our table."  

He said innocently, "BUT I CAN'T SEE WHERE WE ARE GOING BECAUSE HER BUM IS TOO BIG".

I looked down and realized he was eye level to an unusually large booty.

I lifted him up, to say 'shhh' in his ear, and he happily said "THANKS MOM, NOW I CAN SEE without the big BUM-BUM in my way".

I was so embarrassed for the woman...and me.  He didn't know better...but uggghh.

Answer 5

Yesterday, in a restaurant, 2 yr old yells out, " that man has a big belly"  Of course everyone turned and stared.

Answer 6

Oh gosh, where do I begin? LOL My daughter is three and she's very talkative and very much into her surroundings. So, that gets her into a lot of embarrassing moments.

Once, at a grocery store, we saw an elderly man with an oxygen tank and she says VERY loudly (while laughing), "He's got a mask on!". I quickly tried to explain that he NEEDS that mask to breathe correctly. Of course, a three year old doesn't really understand that, so hopefully the man wasn't mad.

Another time, also in a grocery store, there was music playing. She gets excited and screams, "Shake your booty mommy!". I just laughed and said, "Not here in the store honey." But I was embarrassed.

My SIL just had a baby, so my daughter now thinks she knows what it looks like whenever a women is pregnant. We were at a gas station not too long ago and saw a heavy set women. Well, my daughter yells out, "She's got a baby in her belly too!" I told her we don't yell out those things in public and quickly got the heck out of there.

Oh, and just yesterday, we went to some garage sales. A lady said, "You have a very cute little girl." And so my daughter yells at her and says, "I'm NOT little, I'm a big girl!" I had to explain to the lady that mommy and daddy aren't even allowed to say the words little, small or baby to her anymore. She thinks she's a big girl now and doesn't want any part of that. Then I explained to my daughter that it's not very nice to yell like that.

Ok, I'm done now. LOL Aren't kids just so cute!?

Answer 7

grin and bear it and tell them if they have things to say whisper them to mommy or daddy and see if it is ok to say.

Answer 8

I cannot wait to hear my  11 month old son say funny things like that. lol but maybe not too embarrasing stuff lol

Answer 9

My daughter, then 4, saw a VERY obese man in a grocery store one day ...with his belly hanging down to his knees, and she started to scream in terror saying "THAT MAN HAS 2 BELLIES!!!" ...I had to leave the store to get her calmed down.

Answer 10

my son is 3, almost 4-- when we were potty training, i had a little bit of a hard time (his daddy was in iraq).  i found that he loved to pee on the flowers or grass or trees-- anything outside.  i thought ok, its a start, if i get him peeing on something outside i can get him to pee in the toilet.  well now he is completely potty trained and has been for a 1 1/2yrs, but he still loves to pee outside.  it doesn't matter whose around or where it is.  

we went to a hot air balloon glow one evening, and he was in complete awe of the balloons, and then the fireworks afterwards--- he didn't budge from his stroller.  once the show was finished and we were walking back to the car and watching the balloons being put away, he jumps up out of the stroller, jerks down his pants and pees right there in the field-- in front of hundreds of people.  all we could say is "you don't do that, you pee in the potty!!"  he looked at me and said i was peeing on a flower (clover).  pretty embarrassing, but at least he didn't pee in his pants!

Answer 11

When my daughter was a little over 2 months old I had taken her to JC Penney's to visit a friend who worked the jewelry counter and was itching to see her finally.  I strictly breast fed and had nursed just before we left.  Well when we arrived she had some customers so I had my daughter in a sling and slowly walked through the purses and accessories.  An older woman approached us and commented on how beautiful my daughter was and just as I thanked her, my daughter let one rip nice and loud.  The woman made a disgusted face and immediately walked away...I was a bit red (slightly embarassed) but could not help myself and started cracking up so badly my eyes began to tear.  I patted my daughter, told her good job on getting it out (whispered it to her).  

Now she's potty training and probably the most embarassing thing she has done was Easter Sunday at church we arrived late and had to sit in the front row.  During a moment of silence she stands up in the pew and says very loudly "Momma I gotta potty!"  I heard a few chuckles from rows behind us and we zoomed up the hallway went potty and watched the rest of the service from the Cry Room just in case we had to go again.

Answer 12

Although I'm not a mom yet, this story is always told about my husband:

He was about  3 or so and on the verge of a potty training degree.  They were in church, out of no where he bolted down the middle of the isle screaming "I gotta hockey - I gotta hockey" at the top of his lungs.  His parents were mortified!

LOL, I almost cry each time I hear it!

Answer 13

when my nephew was 6 his daddy was in iraq for the first time. My sister had brought the boys to church one sunday and the discussion was about daddys and what they do fro work. well smart little logan told the sunday school teacher that his daddy was in iraq kicking muhammads a**. i laughed until i cried when she told me that.

my other nephew is always doing crazy things. My favorite is when he was about 18 months old and they came to visit us. My mom was working in a bank and we stopped in to see her. well evan was kinda stinky. logan being the observant older brother said he was stinky. evan at the top of his lungs yells ..."I KNOW" he had such a cute little voice like he was so proud to be stinky.

my little one who is 3 now is also observant. i work in a nursiung home and had to bring her with me one day. well we all know that there are sick people and old people in nursing homes. well my DON is short and round and looks older becasue of stress. Kylie told her she looked like a beach ball. she also informed my administrator that he needs to start walking like mommy and daddy because his cholestrol is gonna kill him.

needless to say i begged her to apologize. i apologized too and begged them not to let it affect my paycheck...lol
