What they've said to embarrass you??

My little tulips have ranged to asking "overweight" people when they are getting their baby, to my 6 yr old daughter pointing out non nationals in a hospital recently, and saying (in a very loud whisper) that they are poor people.

They are just 2 off the top of my head but there are many many more, as Im sure all parents will know...

Little monster who's just turned 4 mortified his mammy the other day by pointing at a 'little person' and saying in his loudest voice 'Mammy look at that little man!'

Thought it was funny that he actually used what's considered the politically correct term these days!

the public toilet cubicle conversations are always embarrassing.... some too embarrassing to be repeated on here

Jeege · 12-11-2009 02:30PM

Oh I know the ones, either when they're in there with you giving a running commentary, or in the cubicle next door, giving a running commentary!!

Nice:rolleyes:

My three year old has decided to call people of African origin chocolate people. Queue red-faced parent in SuperValue.

Oh and my DA used to shout up at me when my mates knocked the door that my boyfriends were here.

I'm a guy.

The twins are quite young, so don't talk much in understandable language yet, especially around other people. However, I am pregnant and my breasts have grown significantly in the last few weeks. My little girl has taken to declare, in a loud voice while pointing at my breasts: "moo cow moo boobs!". Which, you know, isn't wrong and I am glad she knows what they are for but... yeah....

We brought my (then) 7-year old to see Transformers. At one point, Shia's parents ask if he was m@sturbating. Just as the chuckles died into silence, her whisper carried across the cinema: "What's m@sturbating mean?"

My wife brought her into a toilet cubicle when she was about 4. A lady had just walked out of this cubicle and headed to the mirror to check her hair/makeup. My daughter noticed wee on the seat and very loudly asked why that lady weed on the seat. "Shhhh"... "No Mammy, there's wee everywhere. Why did the lady wee everywhere?"

There's this really sound, jolly Thai waiter in a Thai restaurant we frequent (great early bird deal, so we can bring the kids and be back in time for bed). He's always joking around with kids. The first time we brought her there, he was all jolly and happy and kept making her laugh. As he walked away, she asked (again, loudly), "Why does the fat brown man keep talking to me?" Erm... you're not supposed to call people that. "But he IS fat and brown." GAHHH... stop talking!

In another restaurant, there was this waitress who plucked her eyebrows and 'drew' them back on (never understood it myself). Of course, the little monster was confused. "What's that on your forehead?" she asked. The confused waitress moved her hand to her forehead to wipe away the offending thing. "No... those things," and she stood up and pointed at the eyebrows. Mortified.

What always makes it worse is that we keep laughing when she does something embarrassing, which only encourages her. It's impossible to keep a straight face. I think our kids like the reaction they get when they embarrass us

My wife tried to explain what was happenig but he was having none of it. "Ah no Mammy he biting her" The lady behind my wife nearly had to be pick up laughing.

Superdaddy · 27-11-2009 08:56PM

I was at the swimming pool recently with my 6 year old son, we were getting changed in a cubicle and i was putting on my shorts so i was briefly naked. He started laughing at me and between the laughter he said "Haha look at your willy, it's like a hairy monkey daddy. Ha ha its really huge." I could hear the sniggering all round the changing rooms. "Why does it look like that daddy?" To shut him up i explained his would look like that when he grows up. Then at the top of his voice " I don't want a big hairy willy when i grow up" I was mortified and to make matters worse it was a communal area and there was lots of moms with their kids in the cubicles all round us. I tried to wait till some of them had moved off in case i had to see them when we stepped out. Of course he let me down again. "Come on Daddy what are we waiting for?" Got loads of smiles from people as we stepped out to the lockers and then i heard one little girl whisper to her mammy really loudly, "i want to see his willy too." I could have died!!!:o:o:o

In the waiting room I was pleased to discover my 2 and a half year old can now count to ten.

Poking me in the chest he announces "one boobie, two boobies, three boobies, four boobies, five boobies, six boobles... and so on" I stopped him at ten. Maybe he can can count farther.

Not as bad as when he pulled my pants down in Aldi. Still getting over that one.

Sleepy....that reminds me of the time when my 3 year old saw a 'little person' and shouted really really loudly "look mammy, it's a woman baby"!

MelissaLahive · 07-12-2009 03:20PM

I was in Tesco shopping with my son just after we had watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We were in the frozen food section why my son screamed and shouted at the top of his voice "Look mommy, its an oompa loompa!" at a "little person" that was shopping. There was loads of people around and I was mortified. He wouldn't leave it there though and ran up to the poor man asking him to sing a song for him. I don't think I've ever apologised so much to anyone in my life. Luckily he had a sense of humour about the whole thing!
