whats the most embarrasing thing your child(ren) ever did while out in public?

Question

i listen to music with my 3 year old boy, and the other day while in the checkout line at walmart, he busted out singing " go home, get stoned....." and this couple in front of me gave me the most accusing look!

Answer 1

This is kinda long, but hilarious...my dad is a truckdriver (just like me...) and he's raising my very young niece. She's spent a lot of time with him and knows that a beeping sound means to look out for a forklift backing up.(not that she's EVER left alone anywhere!)...The two of them were in line at a Wal Mart with a particularly plump woman in spandex bike pants in front of them....Her cell phone began beep beep beeping....my niece yanked on my dad's pants leg and in a panicked tone said "Look out, Paw Paw....she's backing up!!" How cute!!

Oh, I thought of another one...this happened when my son was in the 6th grade...now keep in mind that he is now grown with kids of his own...but after the film shown about the horrible effects of marijuana, the counselor was available for questions....my son piped up.."That whole movie is propaganda....both my parents smoke weed and they don't have ANY of those problems!!" (He had overheard his father and I discussing the fact that we had, indeed, both smoked pot before, and that we remembered the movies we were shown) Kids will repeat anything!!

Answer 2

When my oldest boy, who is now 30, was about 2; for some reason use to pronounce words which started with the letters S and T and would replace it with the letter F. One day when we were in the checkout line at the grocery store, he saw a sucker tree which the cashier ladies used to give out a sucker to the little ones. Well when he yelled out "Mommy I want a sucker!" repalce the S with the F. And you know the looks I got. WHEW

Answer 3

When my son was very small he had a strange fascination with bras. Whenever we went past the ladies dept. he would stop and run his hands over the bras in amazement. It was so funny!
I got my mother far worse, though. When I was about 3 we were in the grocery store. I saw a black lady with a kerchief on her head. Very excited to see a celebrity, I stood up in the cart shrieking "Look, Mommy! It's Aunt Jemimah!!!" My mother was, of course, horribly embarrassed. She apologized profusely as I continued to smile and wave with great enthusiasm. The Aunt Jemimah lady was so nice, she just smiled and waved back at me!

OMG, I just remembered a great one. My friend's youngest (of 5) wanted a raise in his allowance. I guess he was about 10 at the time. Well, they told him that if he had good reason for the increase, they would discuss it. So he goes and puts together this whole presentation on why he deserves the increase. Really well thought out and all. But they decline the raise anyway. So he takes it pretty well and goes outside to play (or so they think).
About an hour later, my friend looks out the front window only to see her son with a sign that says "(Last name) FAMILY UNFAIR TO CHILD LABOR" in bright red paint, picketing in the driveway!

Answer 4

Okay, so I don't have any children yet, but I do have a younger brother - by 6 years. We had laundry all over our living room (it was clean, just not put away), and next thing I know, there's a knock on the door. Unexpected guests!?!?! Well, my brother let them in, and I was so embarrassed by the mess that I tried to make up an excuse:

"Please excuse all the clothes everywhere...it's our laundry day."

What does my brother do right then??? He says, "We don't have a laundry day."

OMG! Talk about feeling the shame. I guess that's what I get for not helping Mom with the laundry and then telling a lie! =)

Answer 5

My ex husband has a SERIOUS potty mouth, and was verbally abusive to top it all off. He would call me a f***in bi**ch even in front of our son. My son was 1 1/2, so I had no idea the amount of vocabulary children pick up at such an early age, but sure enough, he showed me. We were in the grocery store, and my son wanted some candy. I said no, and he replied "no, f**ck b**tch"! I was astounded, and so was everyone else in the vicinity! I immediately tried to cover his mouth in an attempt to stop him from repeating it again. I called my ex and chewed him out of course. Not long after, I was asked out on a lunch date, just something casual, and he said I could bring my son. Things were going great until he wanted dessert, and I again said no. He yelled at the top of his lungs "F**ck B**tch!"! I was so mortified! My date laughed, and we talked about what to do to fix the problem. I tried to talk to him, use soap in the mouth, salt, hot sauce (very little, and he liked it!), and time-outs, etc. Nothing worked until one day I was SO fed up with it, that I flicked his mouth! I'm not a spanker, but I lost my cool. Right away, he looked startled, and was quiet instantly. From then on, every time he said a bad word, I would tell him he needed to flick his own mouth, and it worked!
Now, he's six and knows it's wrong to say bad words. In fact, if he hears profanity anywhere, he tells them to slap their mouth! He definately gets people's attention when he says that! LOL!

Answer 6

I was grocery shopping with my youngest daughter 2 days before Thanksgiving so the store was jammed with people. We were in the aisle for spices and sugar all the stuff for baking. My daughter was talking to me while I was trying hard to concentrate on what I needed and getting to it (I should mention she was 4 years old at the time) Each time she said something I would automatically say "yes or oh year I know that" so that she wouldn't think I was ignoring her. She spotted the Crosby's brand molasses and pointed it out to me and I told her we didn't need any for our baking. She then continued to chatter away while I shopped. As I was taking something off the shelf she said "mommy, do you remember the time you made me eat tuna fish and molasses and said if I didnt eat it I had to eat catfood and I did really good and ate it all" Everyone around me started laughing when they saw my jaw drop and I said "I never did that you never ate that" and my daughter started laughing. The people were practically falling on the floor in hysterics because we all knew my daughter said it just to see if I was paying attention to her. Thank gosh they knew she was playing. I was so embarrassed!!!

Answer 7

This one's cute and embarassing. During the whole potty training process,we were in a Target restroom. As we were leaving,we passed a line of women waiting. My daugter proudly announces "Mommy,all these people have to do wee-wee on the potty" Another time (same place) we pass a child around 8 years old and my daughter proudly announces "That little girl has to do wee-wee on the potty" That little girl was a little upset by my daughter's comments and was quite defensive about it!

Answer 8

Ok, before I start this story, I have to tell you that my son is petrified of public bathrooms. I think he gets scared with the echoing and the loud noises. So probably about six months ago, we were at the grocery store and halfway through, I had to pee so bad. So, with him in tow, I walked into the bathroom and straight into the stall. Now, the bathroom entrance wasn't a door but kind of like a hallway. Anyway, I just started doing my thing, with him screaming at the top of his lungs. And then he crawled under the stall door and starting running out the door. So not only did I have to stop what I was doing, but I had to try to pull up my pants while still running after him. I ran out into the store with my unbuttoned and unzipped jeans in my hand chasing after my son. Everyone that I passed just stood there with a great big smile on their faces. Of course no one bothered to stop my son so we made it all the way to the checkout lines. I scooped him up into my free arm and walked out of the store. I was SO embarassed. Of course I can laugh about it now. That's always a story that I will be able to tell him and his buddies about for years to come.

Answer 9

This actually happened last night. The kids and I went to gran mas for dinner while daddy worked late. Anyway when dad came home he stood at the empty fridge and said I'm hungry there's nothing for dinner. My 3 yr old stood next to him looking inside the fridge and said 'I'll make you a cheese sandwich and a Bundy{Bunderberg rum}" Had to laugh as that's about all there was.
