My kids have come up with some real corkers! When I was pregnant with number two, I went food shopping with number one sat in the trolley and she must have been aged about 2 1/2 at the time. In our house ladies private bits is called a "foo foo". Anyway, this one day walking around the supermarket my daughter anounced to the whole supermarket at the top of her voice "mammy, you've got fur on your foo foo"! Also, last Christmas my two girls aged 7 and 4. The 4 year old was Mary in the Christmas play and we were watching the news one night when a woman came on the tele wearing a head scarf. My 4 year old said "oh look it's Mary" to which my 7 year old replied "no, Abigail it's not Mary, it's a muslim"! Where on earth do they learn all this stuff from??? She was obviously correct but I didn't even know she knew what a muslim was!

Just thought of another one. A friend's son was telling us about how they had studied the Holocaust in school, and asked her and I if we could tell him what anti-semitic meant. She looked at me for help and I explained to him that it meant that those people did not like Jews. He thought on that for a moment and then responded "How could they not like juice? Everyone likes juice."

I work at a nursing home and one day, my mom brought my two boys up to my job to see me. When they got there I was sitting in the nurse's station charting. It was in the middle of the day so all the residents were up. My oldest son who was 5 at the time said very loudly. " Mommy I didn't know old people had to use strollers!" I was so embarrassed.



My youngest so has also don't something similar to this. One day we were out at a resturant and a group of older ladies came and sat at the table across from us. My son who was 3 at the time kept waving at them and yellling " Hi Grandmas!!" when I tried to get him to be quiet and eat his food. He yelled "MOMMY LOOK AT ALL THOSE GRANDMAS!!" LOL

Lol - readingthese stories I am flooded with the memory of my goddaughter. After she wasput to bed we would sit outside and have tea and a chat - my goddaughter used to stand at ther bedroom window and bang it while shouting "please can I come in the house Mummy? Please let me in!" We used to giggle wondering what the neighbors must have thought. Cant wait to see what my daughter does!

I love these kinds of stories. Best one I ever heard was my friend was out shopping with her single mum friend and her son. Her friend is very conservative and monitors all her sons tv viewing so you could imagine her surprise when in the middle of the shopping centre her son picked up a plastic machine gun and started to pretend shooting while shouting "die mother f@#$er die!". (He must have watched something when he stayed at his Dads) She couldnt move out of shock while my friend was in tears laughing!

I took my new born son & his 18 month old brother to Playgroup (mothers group where the mothers mingle & the kids interact with structured play). Another mothers daughter miss 3 came up whilst I was breastfeeding & asked me where my fat tummy had gone, when I explained that the baby was in my tummy last time I saw her, but now the baby had been born & was now also coming to playgroup. Miss 3 sits looking at the baby breast feeding for a few minutes & then ask's what's happening & just then my son unlatches, so she see's a little milk, and then she looks at me & says is there milk in there? while pointing to my breast & I say, yes, then she looks at my other breast & says is the juice on that side?

I have two funny stories. One about me when I was young....about 4. We lived in Germany and when my Grandma had come to visit she had taught me how to dial the US so I could call her when I wanted. (My Mom found this out later the hard way...wait you'll see)....So I call her up one day and tell her I'm mad at Mommy. She asks where she is, I tell her she is napping. So she asks why I'm mad. I tell her that Mommy won't buy me any Ni****s (racial slur). I'm so upset and keep going on about how all my friends own Ni****s and my Mommy said no. My Grandma gets mad and tells me to put Mommy on the phone. My Mom hears my Grandma say what in the hell kind of people are you letting my Grandkids around. She tells my Mom what I said. She said she was mortified. Asked me to repeat what I was asking for because she just knew it couldn't be Ni****s. When I told her she then explained to my Grandma that I wanted KNICKERS. A kind of pants that were in style in Germany at the time!!

The other is my twins and I were at Walmart. They were 3. A VERY large woman was on one of those motorized carts and one of my twins saw her. She wasn't very far away. She LOUDLY says Mommy that lady is HUGE! The lady turns and gives us a dirty look. I say that is not nice to say. We don't call people names like that. And she replies with "Why doesn't she know she's fat?" Ok, so I wanted to DIE!! Needless to say I apologized and ran out of there as fast as I could.

I turned up to a parent teacher meeting one night and just before I left my son's teacher said to me, "so you're running off with Robbie Williams tomorrow and having a sleepover with ***** - hubbys best friend on the weekend. You are going to be a busy lady"

I sat there with a stunned look on my face, totally not knowing how to respond when she laughed and told me my son was most excited to tell her everything I say or do when he goes to school.



I explained to her that I had been to see Robbie Williams in concert and when a friend asked how it was I jokingly replied that I was running off with him on the weekend.

The hubbys best friend thing had come about when we had them over for dinner and his best friend was complaining that his wife was going away and he would have to cook dinner himself and would be scared to be home alone.. later when the kids had wandered off to play, my hubby asked him if he wanted to come up for meals while his wife was away and his friend joked that he was going to stay the night too and sleep between hubby and I.

My lil big ears son heard all this and happily passed it on to his teacher. ( I worked at the same school and was sooooo embarrassed for so long and never again made comments within hearing of my son)

I am sorry I shouldn't laugh at these stories..but I couldn't help myself...I am sitting here at the pc and about to pee my pants laughing so hard..Its funny how kids just come out with things you don't expect them to say. I haven't hit that stage yet..but just wait til my daughter really starts talking.

I'm self employed. My daughter was home and answered a business call. I don't like the kids to even pick up the phone during business hours! The person asked for me and she said that I was on the toilet pooping! I was completely mortified. I think it would have been easier to handle if it was a client I knew pretty well but I didn't know this person!

i just thought of another good one, my son was only 2 at the time and we were in a store when he starts saying really loud, my hair itches it itches mom, i think there bugs in there!!! i felt so stupid, i dont even know why he said that hes never had lice in his life! just had a bad itch i guess lol

Samantha - posted on 06/05/2009

The only thing I can think of is my 2 yr old, whenever she passes gas, she has to say, pretty loudly "Mommy, I farted!".. No matter where we are!

Good grief....what a great question to ask right now!!! I am still embarrased about what happened last night. We were at the park last night watching my nephew play ball..my kids were at the play area right beside us, actually getting along. I just checked them, all was well. Not even a minute later, this lady says to me, are the redheads yours. At that point you know you want to say no. So of course I say yes, look up and there my 4 year old son is mooning everyone! Needless to say we quickly left and went home where he got to go to bed very early!!!

my daughter now 15 has done so many things that embarrised me that i can not think of them! one was when she was a nursery and i was picking her up as normal and she ran back in shouting " i do not want you i want daddy!" this was infront of all the other mums who did not know where to look!

my son who is 17 months is doing his best to embaris me as only a couple of days ago i was pushing him in a trolly around asda doing the shopping and he kept trying to pull my top down and show of my bra!! i had to get my husband to push the trolly and gave my son some milk as soon as the shopping was done!!

Quoting Amy:

LOL oh i have 2 rather comical stories I can share;
The first is about my daughter Sarah, a few yrs ago I was in Wal-Mart with her and we had just come in the front doors and there was a large family of Amish. My daughter piped up and exclaims " Mommy mommy look over there ( pointing the Amish family ) " I turned my head, and she says " the Pilgrims are shopping at Wa-Mart" She said it so loud that everyone around us heard her. I turned 4 shades of red, picked her up and began walking as fast as I could. I was embrassed, but later explained to her that those in fact were not Pilgrims, and gave some info on the Amish.
The other story is about my son Dakota, I took him with me to Home-Depot thought it would be a cool adventure for him. As we walked accross the parking lot a truck was backing it was making that " beep beep beep " . My son asks " Mommy what is that?" I told him that the truck makes that noise cause it is very big and uses the horn to warn anyone around it that it is backing up. Little did I know that those few words would bite me in the aruse later. As we were walking down an isle looking for nails, this woman stood a few feet away. To my unfortunate luck her cell phone started beeping much like the truck we had seen outside. Dakota grabs my arms and screams " Mommy move it, that lady is backing up don't wanna get squished !!!" Oh I was in horror. This lady bless her soul was slightly large and I felt small very small. I told my son that what he said wan't nice, and he's like " Mommy why is your face all red?" Yeah I was embrassed again. But I appologized to the lady, and she was rather pleasant about the whole thing. We laughed about it.

thats sooo funny, mommy move it! lol im still laughing :][ oh i swear my kids know to act up in walmart, everytime they say some loud embarrassing thing, i know i've replied a lot, but i have A LOT of these stories lol. anyway, we are in walmart and i asked a worker to help me find something, well this women, bless her heart, only had about 6 teeth in her mouth and they were brown and rotten, my son says to her, really loud, EEEW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TEETH!!! i said, brandon, thats not nice, but she was very good about it and said he doesnt knw better, then told him to always listen to his mommy and brush his teeth or they will look like hers, and would you know it, he asks me to brush him teeth, nopt the other way around.

I have a good one! While visiting my husband at his work (fire station) with my 2 year old and 6 week old, my 6 week old pooped loudly. Well, my toddler decided to yell "baby poopoo!! EWWW! STINKY!!". Another time, while I was still pregnant with my youngest, my husband was showing my toddler the firetrucks and put her up in the drivers seat and she stood up and was dancing. Well, he turned and was talking to a friend when he turned back around and Faith had taken her dress and diaper off and was standing butt naked in the fire truck...my husband was SO embarressed!!

i have a story, not of my children, but something i did when i was around 4 or 5 (keep in mind im not rasict, i was only a child repeating something i had heard) my dad and i went to a corner store, and the whole time i walked around all confused when we got to the counter and we were only buying drinks, i asked my dad real loud in front of the checkout guy, "whats a muk muk?" earlier i heard my gramma say we were going to the muk muk store, i thought it was a place that sells muk muks, had no idea it was a terrible racial slur! oops

I have a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old and when my youngest was born I was breast feeding him and my husbsand taught him the word boobies, so a few weeks later we were shopping in the supermarket when he noticed a lady with a very large chest wearing a very low cut top and said at he top off his voice 'look mummy that lady has got very big boobies hasn't she?!!' Luckily she saw the funny side. Another one was whilst he was in the same supermarket with daddy this time, they were unloading the shopping onto the belt when my son noticed the young lad who was scanning the shopping had bad acne and proceeded to ask daddy why the man had big red spots on his face over and over again and the more daddy tried to distract him or tell him to be quiet the louder he became, the poor lad went bright red! At least while these moments are embarrassing at the time they are funny when you look back on them!!

I used to tell my mom I hated her in the middle of the store....usually because she wouldn't get me what I wanted.

I told my parents best friends when they were leaving the house, :"bye little man"
btw he was a full grown man with dwarfism....My parents could have died.
I was only 5 so I had no idea that it hurt.My son is only a 1yr so the only thing he does that could potentially embarss me, but seems not to, is he screeches and screams for no apparent reason other than excited in the store. I've had women walk up to me and ask what I had done to my child....ummm he's excited about that ball...derf! you can't tell when it's excited not upset....lol

Luckily this on wasn't out in public or I would've been arrested. So I'm in the middle of potty training my 2 yr old and I was doing the dishes one day and he was going potty(right across the hall so i could make sure he didn't flush a whole roll of toilet paper again) and he get down and shows me this little scrap on his lag. I asked him where he got it and said "i don't know mommy, but it hurts". Just then my mom comes walking into our my house and my son runs up to her half naked to show her the "owie" on his leg. When she asked him where he got it he replied, "oh i don't know, mommy stabbed me". I don't even know where he learned the word stab let alone say that I did it, when I was standing 10 ft away, I was just mortified.

My daughter was the queen of the unexpected. She not only embarassed me but scared the crap out of me one morning. 4 years old and she always, always, always got up in the morning and made a bowl of cereal and sat in front of the tv till I got up. One morning though I woke to hear a knock on my apartment door. A family services worker was standing there with my daughter (mind you it's only 8 a.m.) asking if she belonged to me! I was petrified. She had taken my house keys, unlocked the door, and walked across the parking lot to check the mail for me while I was sleeping and the worker happened to see her there on her way to visit another family in the complex. I was so scared that she would take my kid away. Plus, I was embarassed that this woman was looking at me like I was some sort of unfit parent because my kid had figured out how to unlock the door and sneak out while I was asleep.... That was just the worst.

ahahaha...oh man kids are funny! my son is only 15 months...so he really hasn't done anything embarrassing...just the usual throw up all over the table at the restaurant or knock full glasses off the tables..you know..the usual. ahahah.

OMG I laughed so hard when I read this. =) Kids! Mine have never really embarrassed me too bad. They have my hubby though.
He took our son to the minor emergency to get his ears checked. The doctor of course was foreign and had a heavy accent. He was talking to our son and asked him a question. The doctor stopped talking and waited for an answer. Our son leans over while staring at the doctor and goes.. Dad he talks funny. LOL! My hubby said he wanted to die, the doctor took it well though he laughed. =)
From our daughters... Hold on Gramps I got a wedgie... our son's... Mom that lady is ooooooold... our toddler's very loudly proclaimed bad daddy (he was putting her in a shopping cart at the store)... they always have something to say that makes us want to laugh and crawl under a rock at the same time.

I got one about my sister too from when she was 3. My gramma was over visiting and had to get up to go to the washroom. So she's walking down our very long hallway at home and my sister is following her. My sister pipes up... Oh gramma do you ever have a biiiiiig butt. LOL! I'm so glad my gramma had a sense of humor. She said between laughing, of course she's gotta say that when I'm on my way to the washroom. haha.

Yes, I have a couple. When my daughter was about 3 years old she would say "No way Josy!!!" instead of saying "No way Jose" It would just crack everyone up. Also one time we were at the grocery store and there was an extremely overwieght man shopping also (I mean very large) and my daughter says nice and loud "Mommy look at that big man over there!!!" I was mortified. I told her it was not polite to say thing like that, but she was just pointing out the truth. If you want the truth kids will never let you down!!!

Sarah - posted on 06/05/2009

also, just today, my son has picked up a new phrase, but its a bit off. you know how when someone says something funny, you may say "you crack me up" well my son thinks the phase is cracked OUT, hes been telling me all day, " oh mom you crack me out, and thats soo cracked out" im like BRANDON its cracked UP not cracked OUT!!! ps. hes 4
