What is the Most Embarrassing Thing - That Your Child/Children Have Done?

Kirstenmumof3 wrote: When Emily was 3 years old we were out shopping. It was before Christmas and the stores were packed. I knew we were pushing our luck with her and should have left earlier, but I wanted to see a Christmas Display and then it happened! Emily threw a major tantrum in the middle of the mall! My DH picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and started to walk through the mall back to the car (which was parked at the other end of the mall). All of a sudden Emily starts screaming at the top of her lungs "PUT ME DOWN, YOU'RE NOT MY DAD" and she kept repeating this throughout the mall until we got into the car! The sad thing is nobody stopped my DH to question him about what she was saying!

When Spencer was little we couldn't go shopping with him, he would hide in the clothing racks and we couldn't find him! Eventually we would find him with this little grin on his face! But eventually we just stopped taking him shopping!

Claudia would announce in the middle of the mall that she had to go poo poo and then proceed to tell us that she wanted to use the little toilet (they have a family washroom off the food court and it has a child size toilet)!

They can be quite the characters!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Logan did something similar to Emily's. A few weeks ago, he threw a major fit in the store and when I reached down to speak with him he hit me. So, I scooped him up and started carrying him out of the store. And he started yelling, "Help me, help me." I did get stopped by someone, but they quickly understood the situation.

Calimama replied: Bella has thrown up on a complete strangers as they were walking by.

Just the other day Brae sneezed and I didn't realize it was all over my shirt, so I proudly walked all over the mall with very, very, VERY noticeable Braedie-Boo boogers all over my tshirt. Whats worse is my "other mom" who I was with didn't notice or say a word. And trust me other people were looking at me funny and someone even said nice shirt, to which I obliviously said Thanks to.

redchief replied: I was giving a lecture on fire safety to the elementary school, including my daughter's class. We were discussing fire drills in the home and how important it was to make sure everyone has a fire drill at home and defines safe places to go. Well my wonderful daughter puts up her hand and sweetly asks, "Dad, when are we going to have a fire drill? I don't remember the last one."

Yep, she threw me under the bus in front of grades 4 - 8.

I look over & Zach is taking his clothes off to go pee in the fountain. The other time was when we were at the grocery store. We were walking down the aisle & there was a woman standing at the end. He ran up to her & asked her if she knew she was fat & ugly.

mummy2girls replied: to me? Well alot...LOL... this is what she does everytime we go out for dinner. She will shout to me momma i gotta go POOOOOP!!!!!!!!!

My2Beauties replied: OMG just not to long ago on Valentine's Day, I had the day off. We had stayed at th Casino Boat the night before, we left that morning and got Hanna real early and went to have breakfast at Denny's. It was absolutely packed in there. There was a little baby sitting with her mom and her grandma and her aunt I'm guessing at the table right behind us. Well I think Hanna heard a funny noise or maybe the baby really did "toot" but Hanna gets up out of her chair, runs around our table and points in that direction (which is right by Brian, so it looks like she's pointing at him) and yells "EEH YOU FARTED" really really really loud! That was by far the most embarrassing thing she has done to date and believe me she has said some pretty embarrassing things to me in public but that by far takes the cake!

TANNER'S MOM replied: Once when Brittany was little I was grocery shopping. I had sat her down in the basket part of the cart and she was playing so quitely. I was just grabbing a few things and I was so proud of how good she was being. I noticed peopled looked at her and me and laughed. One lady even said.. I think she has been in your purse. I just nodded and closed my purse. I got to to the check out line and realized Britt had a tampon and was playing with it. She got it out of my purse and was occupied for the whole shopping trip.

Tanner got me and dH GOOD.. The worse I have ever been embarrassed. He was 2 and we were potty training. We were in the store, he was riding in the cart. Aisle full of people. Dh and I are talking amongst ourselves.. Tide or Gain..you know. Tanner looks up at me and he says Mama.. I need you and I said WHAT? He very loudly said.. Mama my nuggets are hanging out. I wanted to die. He had looked down and I guess his business was hanging out the side of shorts. Dh and I picked him and left the store.

kerriella replied: Most embarrassing thing my daughter ever did to me was when she was 4. She
used to love to "fix" my hair for me so one afternoon I was letting her. She took
her time fixing it just so-so and was upset when she ran out of scrunchies to make
ponytails until she got the bright idea to use some of her socks (they were clean!
lol). So needless to say by the time it was done I had about 10 different ponytails and 3 of which were tied in place with multi-colored 4 year old socks.

Of course I couldn't take it down right away, it would have upset her to have her masterpiece destroyed after she worked to long and hard on it. So I went about my business and actually forgot about it while I was doing the lunch dishes.

That's when the doorbell rang. Idiot that I am I just went and answered the door.
There standing on my doorstep were two well-dressed, shocked Jehovah's Witness'. They tried to recover and instead of saying anything they just went into their spiel. As they were talking, it dawned on me just why they were so shocked when I opened the door. Mortified I tried to explain to them that my daughter had played beauty salon earlier. They kind of looked around me in the house.

They just said they understood and wished me a good day, but as they were
were walking down the walk I heard one say to the other, "I didn't see any kid, did
you?"

I had put my daughter down for a nap after lunch so I guess they thought I was loony. After they left I ran to the bathroom to undo my hairdo.

LOL One good thing though, we never did get bothered by Jehovah's Witness' again while we lived there.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: We had a woman from the school district over last week to evaulate Wil's speech...Just as she was leaving and Wil was saying his goodbyes, he shouts "TOOT!" She looked at me and said "what did he say?" And I had to explain that Wil says toot when he farts. So she said back to him "that's okay Wil, everyone toots sometimes".

Kaitlin'smom replied:
dont feel bad I dont ever remember having them at home as well, and my dad was a firefighter/paramedic not even sure I woudl have been able to get out my window as they were bolted shut I would have had to throw something at it to hopefully break it.

flirtycuddle replied: This isnt about me but my younger sister and mom and step-dad. They went to Kmart or something like that and were shopping and my sister being how spoiled she is insited she get something and when her dad refused she started to throw the biggest tantrum. Of course my step-dad picked her up and carried her out to the car wiht my mom right behind with her screaming at the top of her lungs the whole time(she was about 3).

They get home and a half hour later the cops were at our house lol. Some one had actually followed them out and got the license plate number cuz they swore he was going ot beat her senseless or she was being kidnapped. The cops had to come in and see her and make sure she had no marks on her. I thought for sure my step-dad was going to kill her after that but of course there was nothing wrong with her and they just said some people need to find better things to do lol.
