Has your child said something completely embarrasing in public?

Question

My 21/2 yr.daughter and I went to WAL-MART this morning. There was an older,heavy set woman in the isle with us, and she looked alot like my aunt Marsha. Well, she farted kinda loud, and I turned away trying to pretend I didn't hear her, but my daughter very loudly said "Moma! Marsha tooted!" I tried to keep from cracking up, but she just kept repeating it. I know the woman heard, cause I could see her giggling. I just turned my basket around and hightailed it out of there.

Answer 1

When my son was 3yrs old my mom & dad took him to church with them cause I was in the hospital. My dad's a preacher. My son ask to get a drink of water & my mom told him to wait {cause they where standing up front during prayer request} well, my son ask again my mom tells him to wait. Then it gets all quiet & my son says B**** I want a drink. My mom took him outside. {My ex use to call me this} notice I said my ex. How much more embarrased can you get.

Answer 2

When my oldest daughter was 2 (and my son was 2 months) she had an epiphany at the grocery store... We were walking down the canned foods aisle and she said "Mom, I'm a vagina and Keith's a penis... That's the difference right?" I was a bit embarrassed but agreed she had a vagina and her brother had a penis because she's a girl and he's a boy.... There were a couple older ladies in the aisle trying not to giggle... They were failing miserably...

I held it together and continued to shop until we hit the next aisle and she began pointing to people and loudly announcing ,completely serious in her new found epiphany, either "she is a vagina" or "he is a penis" I could hear the two ladies in the canned food aisle laughing really hard...

I turned 10 shades of red but couldn't deny that she was right... It's difficult to explain why this particular conversation is not appropriate in a grocery store to a 2 yr old.. Especially when she has had an epiphany...

I thought I had it under control until 6:30 that night when her dad arrived home and she confidently told him "Dad, you and Keith are penises, Mom and me are vaginas..." She spentthe next week deciding who in the family was a penis and who was a vagina...

Answer 3

As the mother of a 4 year old daughter, you know I have an endless repitoire of embarrassing things she's said or done. Here's just a few:

3years old: We were walking to the playground through the basketball court when this huge fat guy walks towards us with no shirt on. My daughter blurts out as loud as she can "Mommy, I thought you said boys don't have breasts!!?? He has breasts!How come he has breasts, Mommy, huh?" EVERYONE on the basketball court heard her and cracked up laughing-including the fat guy-thank God for a sense of humor, huh?

2 years old: On the NYC MTA bus an old lady walks on with a cane..."cuse me...how comes you have that umbrella? It's NOT raining outside!"

Newborn: I breast-fed until she was 1 years old...she would get hungry on the train sometimes so I had those special breast feeding bras and shirts, as well as a receiving blanket for xtra privacy, yet every time without fail she would pop my d cup breasts out of the bra somehow and throw the receiving blanket on the floor...Everybody in Brooklyn, NYC on the 3 train has seen my breasts at one time or another in 2002-03. Especially that pervert salivating across from me...

If you think your 2 year old has embarrased you now, you aint seen nothing yet, Honey...LOL!

Answer 4

Oh man that is when they ALL do the most embarrassing things. In public is where they try out new words that even you've never heard before. One time when my son was barely a toddler, a rather large busted woman bent down and was talking to him and complimenting on what a cute little boy he was. My son reached up with both hands and grabbed BOTH of her breasts and squeezed. Talk about embarrassing. She turned red in the face and walked away.

Answer 5

That is so funny! So are the other stories here written. I just had a good laugh, thanks to all!

Here goes mine. There are two situations i can remember:

1) My son (at 2 or 3 years old) said to me at the check-out: "Mommy, you really have big boobies!!!"... Boy, I was so embarrassed with all that people around.

2)JFK airport, at Immigration check-in for citizens. The immigration officer was checking on the kids passports and talking with them. At some point, he was done and told my son (the same as before) like this: "Okay, Tyler (not his real name), you are admitted"... So my son looked at me and asked me: "Mom, what did he call me?".

I answered: "Nothing, honey, he just said you are admitted". And he got mad and turned his face toward the officer to tell him loudly: "Hey, I'm not admitted, I am Tyler!".

The officer laughed and we all did, although I was embarrased and glad he didn't say anything worse!.. Poor little boy, he thought he wanted to change his name!.

Answer 6

Yeah mom, it's just part of being a Mom and part of being a child. My daughter is 31 now, but when she was about 3 years old, she embarrassed me with a situation also.
We were also in a store, and she was sitting in the front of the cart when a black woman stopped next to us. My daughter looks up and ask's,"hey" how come your so darn black?" I knew the woman wasn't offended when she answered back, "well hey, how come your so darned white"! Then she said to me, don't worry about it, kids are honest, it's some of the adults we should be embarrassed about. So you see, your daughter was just being honest,
no matter "how" embarrassing.

Answer 7

3 years ago, we had a big family dinner with out of town relatives at this Greek restaurant. They have this beautiful out door cafe area overlooking the lake. The whole outside is decorated with Greek statues and figures, it's really quite amazing. There were about 16 of us dining outside.

My then 5 year old daughter proceeded to get up during appetizers, walk over to a Greek statue of a nude male, put her finger on the private area, and proclaim "Look Daddy, he has a penis just like you"....

It took us about an hour to clean up all the hummus I spit out across the table...

I think they are still laughing to this day...

Answer 8

yes my kid has my 11 yr old has, and so has my 3 yr old..its just part of growing up..and the thing is the children don't know any better, and if the woman was laughing it wasn't offensive, its just what the kid saw..no big deal :) but maybe if it bothered you, you could have a conversation with your child like sometimes we don't talk about things in public, and that's how it goes..i have had those conversations to..this is not a guarantee work but it might help at least next time you know that you tried..and maybe you wont feel so bad..

Answer 9

Oh boy, my son isn't talking yet, but at four I went up to a lady at the landromat and told her "Those are the ugliest shoes I've ever seen" My mom says I was full of embarassing things to say.

Answer 10
