Have one of your kids ever embarrassed you in public?

Question

My 3 year old daughter decided to announce to the entire public restroom that I was the one that 'pooted'. LOL

Answer 1

My daughter when she was two crawled under a rack of men's clothes and peed.

My son when he was about three and the Utah Jazz were in the playoffs, went up to a tall black man in the grocery store and after looking WAAAAAAY up at him asked wide-eyed "Are you the Utah Jazz". The whole store, including the guy, cracked up.

Then there was the time when one of my children said in a VERY loud whisper "Mom, She's Really FAT!" I grabbed their hand, walked away and said, "Yes, honey, she DOES have a nice hat". I thought I was brilliant for thinking on my feet that fast.

Answer 2

About 20 years ago, my 3 year old and I went to the market. My husband needed some white vinegar to run through his coffee maker. They'd rearranged the shelves, and the vinegar was no long by the salad dressing.
I should mention that my daughter watched only cartoons. Gentle Ben, Flipper and TV ads. I ask the manager, who happened to be walking by, where they'd moved the vinegar. My daughter announced rather loudly, Yes, my mommy needs some Massengale Douche with vinegar... Not one of my finest moments.

Answer 3

OMG! That was funny! LOL! Kids are something, aren't they?!
I was a nanny and a preschool teacher..and am a proud auntie..who even if I have been embarrassed by "wittle kids"...sometimes ya just have to laugh the whole thing off!

But, I have heard kids do this to their family members in the bathroom..and to strangers too(here is one for you...while I was seated on a toilet,,,in a public restroom, a kid decided to stick her face under and look at me...that really unnerved me...I was soooo NOT expecting that! LOL!)
I was a bit upset...but, ya know,I just have to let that go...their parents I am sure were embarrassed you know? I heard the mom kind of yell at her kid and tell her not to do that!!! LOL!
Kids will be kids! IT is just how they happen to be!!! ROFL!

Answer 4

My youngest daughter was a screamer, there have been many times when I've been red faced because of this.

Another time, we were looking at a model home, and she disapeared. I thought she was playing hide and seek and was in a closet, but she was in the toilet, doing number 2. The toilets were not connected and unable to be flushed.

My oldest repeated something that I said (that I shouldn't have) to her God Mother. I said that she smokes like a chimney (she does) and thinking it was a joke, she repeated it. My friend was less than impressed and I was red faced.

Oh the joys of parenthood! LOL

Answer 6

Yes. It is a fact of parenthood!

My favorite story: Our nearby, often visited, grocery store is also visited by a middle aged woman who also happens to be a midget. ............................ Well, I have tried very hard with my kids to look beyond the physical, "we all have unique bodies, talents and abilities" kind of talks and also if they have questions about what they see to ask me quietly so we don't embarass anyone........................... but of course I was talking to the customer service clerk and could not answer the "quiet question" so it became a loud shout "is she a grown up??? How come she's so little?" and the woman was right next to me. Yep, emabarassed would be a good description!

Answer 7

Heavens yes, More times than I can count.

hehehe You pooted. How cute your daughter sounds.

~faith

Answer 8

Yeah, when she was young we went into an antique shop and the woman that was working there was older and had a very large pointed nose and my daughter told her she looked like a witch., As an adult she's still very outspoken, thankfully she doesn't purposely hurt anyone's feelings.

Answer 9

Yes. There was this Rather large woman walking down the street and when her beeper went off my 5 year old son said "look out daddy she's backing up".

Answer 10

ARgh. No, they've not done that to me yet. But once my three year old was visiting at a friend's house during a nice Sunday brunch and decided to whip off all his clothes and run naked through their garden. I admire his free spirit, if not his etiquette.
