Answer 4

My little girl kept asking for a biscuit/cookie when she went to our neighbours house so i said to her one day that "It is rude to ask for a biscuit, you need to wait until you are offered one".

The next time we went round she said "I'm not allowed to ask for a biscuit but if you offer me one i can have it!!"

Answer 6

i was walking my little sisters (twins) to their first day of kindergarden last year, and i walked them into the room, to find where they were sitting. Because it went in alphabetical order, they were sitting next to each other. To the left of my sister Jillian was a very big little girl, with a large gut. My sister Summer looks up at me and says, Mady? Is that what happens when you eat too much sweets? do you fat like her?

I was so embarrassed, and this girl started crying, and her mother began spazzing at me, but i miss those days when you were little, and you just said what ever came to mind, no matter how mean or rude it was...

Answer 7

Ugh, yes, and I embarrassed my parents, it's a natural occurrance that you can't control nor can you anticipate. They will do it at the times when you least expect it.

It's cringe-worthy most of the time, funny in some others, but it always leaves a parent red-faced.

As for me, a good friend of my parents leaned over me and whispered in my ear "and how are you my dear?" and I said "fine, how are you fatso." And another time I had asked for something in a store and my mother said no and I let out a primal scream.

My oldest daughter saw a man jogging without his shirt on and she screamed after him "Put on a shirt, you are NAKED" as only a 3 year old can. I am waiting for my youngest who is now 3 to come out with something, she's pretty sassy and smart, I am a little nervous.

A tip, really watch what you say in front of your kids, especially about friends and family members (MIL's especially), they store it all and you NEVER know when it will come out. Little pitchers have big ears.

Answer 8

Me and my mom were just talking about this. She was getting me ready for what mine might say. She told me about when I was little. The funniest story she remembered was this time in a grocery store, I was four and we ran into a girl she had recently been talking about. She called her two faced to a friend of hers and I over heard it, so I was staring at the lady looking at both sides of her face while my mom realizing what I was doing pushed me behind her. But I wouldn't go and eventually the lady asked what I was doing and I said "Mommy said you had two faces I was just looking for the other one". I seriously hope my kid doesn't do something like that but I'll probably laugh.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

Oh mine has, lol. He was about 3 at the time and we were at a local beach... well a rather large older man walked by in a lovely speedo (yuuuck). My son stood up and pointed, then screamed "Mommy look at the fat man in the little bathing suit" I swear I almost died. Funny but soooo bad of him :P

Answer 12

My niece was 3, we went into the mall for lunch. We were waiting in line @ arbys and she looks next to us and sees a big lady and goes, "WOW YOU ARE FAT. YOU DON'T NEED TO EAT HERE"

Answer 13

my sister is quite the entertainer.  having watched shrek she picked up the song 'too s**y for my shirt' and upon seeing our 20yo cuz wake up in the morning (wearing sweats and no shirt) felt compelled to ask him if his girlfriend thinks hes to s**y for his shirt. -age 9

i was talking to one of my guy friends and my sister came up (at the time she had a grossly loose tooth) and goes to him...do you like teeth? and he was like um wtf basically cuz that was totally out of the blue and then she shows him the tooth and hes like well thats gross and shes like my sister thinks its gross too! talk about that! (i immidiatly ordered her to get into the car while i finished my conversation) -age 10

on vacation in the dominican republic, my sister was wondering why 'all the ladies lost their tops' and my mom tried to explain to her that they were french and thats normal there.  my sister was satisfyed with that, but loudly asked permission to 'pretend she was french' too. - age 9

at christmas, she shared with the family that her being my cuzs fiancee might cause some trouble with his girlfriend but he could wait for her (he was 20, she was 9)

same chrismas she was talking to my cuzs girlfriend(diff. cuz) and shes trying to figure out which guy shes going out with, and when the girl tells my sister she goes loudly...OH, the WEIRD one! (9)

my sister was telling my friend that when she and my mom went on this drive they passed the coast guard academy, and she added a side note: we saw dudes shootin guns...they were HAWT.  (10)

once in 2nd grade this kid called my sister s**y full of pepsi....

my otehr sister ( half sister, different mothers) was with me and her mom eating dinner at the neighbors house.  upon seeing my disgust at watching her stick an entire rib into her mouth and spit the bone back out, she told the neighbor that 'sissy doesnt eat like this on account that linda (my mom) would give her in trouble. (as would any sane person...at the time my sister was 11)

luckily not in public:  my 1/2 sisterwas 6 and we were getting ready to go swimming at the neighbors and i see her playing with barbie and ken so i ask her what shes doing.  she tells me barbie and ken are getting ready.  for what? to have s** in the pool obvi.  just what you expect a 6yo to say

Answer 14

Oh my goodness yes!!!  Probably not as much as I embarrass them though!!!  LOL!!!  No really, just today in the store a lady asked to hold my 1 year old, she said, ooohhh he is so cute, can I hold him?  My 9 year old saw how weirded out that made me so she told the lady, "that's not a good idea, if you break him you buy him"!!!  LOL, the cashier and two others heard her and literally laughed out loud.  Then my 7 yo, as a younger kid , well since she could talk really she will tell me quietly when we are in public, mommy I have to go potty and i will tell her to wait and she'll say nice and loud "I have to go p**p!!"  Honey it never ends and it is so funny!!  I don't embarrass easily though so I take it as just funny things kids say!

Answer 15

When my five year old was four we were at the park. She saw a boy skater with long hair walk by and she said, "Mommy! That's a pretty girl!" And she said it really loud so everyone around could hear her. It was quite funny yet embarrassing. Good luck being mommy!

Answer 16

Can't say I've ever had a kid embarrass me in public, but I recall stories of having embarrassed my mom....

1. When I was little my parents would take me to church with them.  I was too young to be left alone in the pew, but old enough to walk, so I would walk down the aisle with my mom during communion.  One time when it was her turn, I guess I was hungry so I piped up, "I want chips!" thinking that's what was being given out.  My mom flushed and tried hushing me up saying "It's not chips, it's Jesus!"  Not to be outdone, and having misheard, I replied, "Well, Cheesies then!"  Pwned!

2. On a packed bus with my mom coming home from the mall, we drove past the city jail.  I said aloud, "Mommy, is that the jail Daddy was in?"  Mortified my mom had no idea what I was talking about, "Daddy wasn't in jail."  "Yes he was you told me."  "No he wasn't."  "Yes, he was!"  I think I was referring to my dad having to pay a parking ticket or something like that.

My poor pious mother and her heathen child and "criminal" husband.
