MONROE, CT (WFSB) -

Kids say the darndest things, but one local inquisitive 4-year-old boy asked a question that got him banned from a Monroe doughnut shop.

"We were screamed at in front of the door, ‘he's not allowed in here, he's rude'," said Rebecca Denham as she described her experience at the Doughnut Inn on Tuesday morning.

Denham said her son, Justin Otero, asked a woman at the doughnut shop if she had a baby in her belly.

When the woman said ‘No' Otero apologized, and his mother said she was mortified.

"My response was ‘Oh my goodness, I'm so embarrassed, I'm so sorry'," Denham said.

While the woman said it was ‘no problem,' the managers at the Doughnut Inn were not as forgiving.

When Denham and her son walked in the shop Tuesday morning, they were allegedly told to leave.

"She said, 'he's not allowed in here,' and I looked around, and said, 'him?' and she said 'yeah, he's rude'," Denham said

She said she tried to explain what happened to her son and said he "sort of" understands, but he is still asking questions.

Eyewitness News tried to contact the manager and owner of the shop, who had no comment.

Denham said she and her son are planning to take their business elsewhere, while using this as a learning lesson for Justin.

"Some people, unfortunately are quick to pass judgment, and therefore we will take our money and business elsewhere," Denham added.

The owner of this Doughnut Inn in question owns at least two shops in Monroe, however he/she does not own the stores that are located in Fairfield and Stratford.

I have heard it all now. Wonder what will happen when that manager has a child of her own and they ask a question to someone

Fat Christy

Hahahaaha hilarious! We've all said inappropriate things as kids not knowing that it would cause offence. Jaysus, what is wrong with these people? I was expecting the kid to have said a lot worse.

Shocking and outrageous. I'm appalled, disgusted and sickened.

My brother was asked to leave mass by the priest because he was making noise.

Don't think he'd even turned one at the time.

Wasn't it ! Just by changing one letter. I'm dead impressed.

A 'learning lesson'?

Hopefully that'll learn him anyway.

WTF? You must be bored, OP.

That is ridiculous. Kids say what's on their mind, it's a natural reaction. Pretty petty reaction by the shop owner.

Based on the obesity levels in America, poor Justin is going to have to face being banned in 90% of shops.

My cousin was banned from a shop when he was a kid for constantly going in and asking how much the penny sweets were

In fairness it was a doughnut shop... They sided with a big fat customer, bit like your local publican being friendly with the town alcoholic.. its good for business

That's very young for a priest.

My niece opened the door to a stranger once and the first thing out of her mouth was "My mammy wee'd in the bath".

On another occasion: "MAAAAAAAM! IT'S THAT GIRL YOU DON'T LIKE!"
