Have you ever been embarrassed by your child?

Kristie says:
Yes, a little! Kids do things that kind of embarrass you, but they're kids. For example, when we bought our last vehicle, Aidan told the finance manager "why are you so ugly?" Last week we were at a Renaissance Festival and there was a "little person"....Aidan stood there and stared as if he had entered a magical storybook.

Carla says:
Yes. My son was about 3 and saw a large woman (about 6'5 and plus size) and he pointed and said loudly "she's big." The woman didn't take it well and shoved my cart. I looked at her and told her that she was big and he's just a child and will speak whats on his mind. Being a plus size woman, my self, I didn't find any issue with what my son said. He has not and will not use the word fat, as he knows that it's inappropriate when describing people.
