Oh. My. Goodness. This takes the cake!

What did you end up doing?

Oh, I have so many...My oldest dd was 4 (skinny as a rail) and I was pg with our 2nd..We went to see my Dh's aunt and uncle for the first time ever (my first time meeting them..it was their dinner time and they kept asking if we wanted something to eat, his uncle turned to our dd and asked--Honey, don't your want something to eat." She replied
'No thank you, I ate day before yesterday'!!! Uncle almost fell out of his chair--he NEVER let me forget it!

Everyone one had returned to my inlaws house after the farmily reunion...All the fellows --older men and kids were sitting under the trees and I went to check on our kids who were playing around them.. I saw my ds 'building' something...My fil asked in a very proud voice--'what are you building'... Ds replied "I am building you a 'cat house' for all your girls!!" The men thought it was soooo funny.. Needless to say, I turned quickly and retreated to the house!

When my son was two or three we didn't have much money. We would often go window shopping for fun. One day I was exhausted after work and wanted to go home. DS did not. I insisted and picked him up and carried him out of the store. He repeatedly yelled, kicking and screaming, "Mommy, Daddy, save me!"

Thankfully, DS is 20. If this happened today, I'd have been in handcuffs.

I agree, this is the best thread in a long while!

well, I can add another. not nearly as embarressing as the first one, but embarressing none the less.

we were in a village pantry, she was the same age, 4 maybe. she reached up and tugged on the shirt of the guy standing in front of us in line, and when he turned around, she said 'will you marry my mommy so I can have brothers and sisters?'

when I was about 13 or so, I was with my mom in a department store. the music playing in the ceiling was 'horse with no name' by the band America.
at some point my mom turned around to discover that I had poked in the boob cups of all the bras and swimsuits in the aisle. she yelled AMERICA what are you doing?-my name is amanda-
and there were older women behind me watching the whole thing.

When my son was about 4 or 5 his father took him to a "wild game feed" which included Rocky Mountain Oysters for some reason. He enjoyed them immensely, even when he learned what they were. The next time they were in the meat section of the grocery store, he hollered, "Where are the bull nuts, Dad?!?!?"

I was at the laundromat, had parked the pickup out front paralel to the street.

My son, 4 or 5, needed to potty, I said, go ahead.

I look up a few minutes later and he's standing in the back of the truck peeing into the street.

I was mortified and told the two older ladies (who were watching) "uh, we live in Floyd" (county, very rural)

They said, "Honey, we know, we could tell...."

DS and I were in McDonalds getting a supper one night and he asked if we could order an apple pie. He is a really good kid, but was having trouble when I said no to things, so I figured I would use this opportunity to work on his no problem. I said no, I am sorry, you can not. He then looked at the cashier with his puppy dog eyes almost crying and explained that "Mommy got laid off from her job and we don't have enough money for apple pie". I about died! Trust me, he got his apple pie!

Had a good one a few days ago. Some friends and I were at another friend's parents' house working on a welding project. There is a certain bad word that we all use far too frequently, and having seen his 7 year old sister go in the house, we stopped restraining our speech. Apparently at the birthday party for his grandmother the next week she described one of her second grade classmates as being a d*****bag. She's been told before that she's not allowed to use words if she doesn't know what they mean, so of course as soon as her mom hollered at her she started demanding to know what it means because "Devan and his friends say it all the time." Sadly, no telling which one of us she heard say it. Thankfully his whole family farms, and this is definitely not the worst word she knows.

I'll tell on on my cousin. My grandfather was a lawyer and when he went to lunch my grandma would answer the phones. They had an office line in the house so that she could do this and he could take calls after hours. We kids thought that was so cool in the 70's...2 lines! Of course they have a 4 line phone but only 2 worked.

My grandma was babysitting my cousin one day when he was 3 or so (he's 34 now). The phone rang while my grandma was in the bathroom, so he took it on himself to answer for her. He answered," Grandpa's office Grandma's on the potty". My grandmother heard this and just about DIED! She was very "into" what others thought and see could just see the roar that would bring in town. Needless to say she was thrilled when she got in the kitchen and saw he answered the one of the dead lines and not the office line (Grandpa had actually answered the call in the office). So, no one ever heard his greeting. But she loved to tell the story to family after the fact.

When my middle daughter was about six months old, we were standing in front of our small church for a dedication ceremony for her and our oldest DD. I was holding the baby, and she turned in my arms and bit one of the buttons off my blouse before I could stop her!

A neighbor and I where out shopping with my youngest son.
She was holding him while I was looking at something.
My son who was only 2 weeks old farted loud enough that everyone in the small store we where in turned around and looked at my neighbor.
She turned beet red and said it wasn't me it was the baby.

I was in college when my kids were preschoolers. One day I had my daughter at school with me. She was three or four at the time. I was holding her on my hip while talking to one of my teachers. He asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. Her reply? She patted me on the boob and said, "I want to have big boobies like my Mama when I grow up."

LOL...I don't know whose face turned redder...me or my teacher.


When my niece was six she was helping her dad unload deer salt licks (Deer Cocaine) from the trunk of the car. She fell and skinned her knee. When my sister dropped her off at her classroom the next morning she was walking away and heard the teacher ask Amanda how she skinned her knee. Amanda replied, "I fell helping Daddy get his cocaine out of the car!" My sister made a beeline back to explain!

Well, first I took the tape recorder away. Then I had a talk with him about privacy and what other people need to know about what happens in our house and what is none of their business. As far as I know, that was the worst infraction he did as a child.

lonelyfarmgirl, one of our most embarrassing moments came in a grocery store in Indianapolis too! This was in a Kroger on Keystone Ave. DD#3 was about 4 when an elderly lady struck up a conversation with her in the checkout line. DD asked her if she was going to have a baby. I cringed because she did have sort of a potbelly on her. She was so gracious though, and told my dtr, "No, I'm too old to have a baby."
Of course, DD could not have left well enough alone, she proclaimed loudly, "Well, you sure do look like you are".


About 5 years earlier, DS did his best job at embarrassing his father and I. At the time, we were on a road trip to a family reunion at my Aunt & Uncle's lake house in Minnesota. On this trip, DD#1 was 5 years old - young enough that we knew we needed to stop immediately if she said she had to go to the bathroom. DS was 2, and we had two failed attempts at potty training under our belt.

In those days, rest areas had only pit toilets. Being a city girl, there was no way I was going to let my dtr actually sit in one of those things! Our solution was to have my husband take her to the outhouse so that he could suspend her over the seat. That left me to entertain DS - who surprisingly insisted that he also had to go to the bathroom. Not really expecting much of anything, we dropped his diaper and just let him stand between the car and the open door. Surprisingly, he actually "went" every single time - never to wet a diaper again! Unfortunately, shortly after we arrived at the lake house, I lost sight of him. Terrifying at the lake. We started shouting for him while we raced around looking for him. Sure enough, here comes the little guy out from between two parked cars, pulling up his britches. He had left quite a little "deposit".

I'm going to see him and his family tomorrow, I think I may need to bring this up in conversation...

When my eldest DD was first in daycare, she attended the daycare at the local church across the street even thou we aren't Christians, because it was convienent to home and one of the best daycares in the area. So one day I go to pick her up and the director pulls me aside and tells me that I needed to "do something" with my then 2-year old DD, because every day for the last week during their prayer meeting DD waited until the preacher started his sermon, then she would stand up on her chair and start stripping

My sister took both of my girls to church with her earlier this year, and my youngest DD who was 7 at the time asked her very loudly after mass was over "Why did all those people keep bowing to that stick?" which embarassed my sister and her husband to no end (they both sing in the choir and my BIL is on the church's board). To give him credit, the priest thought it was very funny

Then there was the time in the middle of a very busy Wally World when my eldest DD (who was maybe 4 at the time) announced very loudly "Mommy, I forgot to change my panties this morning! I'm wearing dirty underwear!!!" I got a lot of looks for that one.

Gotta love kids

I guess I've lucked out! I have 2 boys ages 4 and 12, and I can't think of any time they have seriously embarrassed me!

However! My mom tells one about my oldest sister, who is 6 years older than me. We were growing up during the time that the "N-word" wasn't considered to be as bad as it is now. My dad had a very dear friend, a black gentleman, who we knew as the "Motorcycle Man". One day, he came to visit. My mom had a big bowl of mixed nuts on the coffee table. My sister, in front of Motorcycle Man, leaned over and said, "Hey Mama, look at that big "N"-toe!" Of course, most of us probably know that is a Brazil nut.
