To ask for your cringeworthy childhood memories?

Went through a stage of calling everyone a Transvestite

My sister and I posing for a photo after a show. She and I both sat on one each of Rolf Harris' knees! 😱

@SausageRoll58 That must have been awful for you. Did the teachers help clean you up? 😫

Not terribly embarrassing but I still cringe now when I think back to it. We had to write an essay about the history of our town (must have been around 9) and I remember there was a bookies in town with beautiful old fashioned script 'book makers' above the shop. 9 year old me spent a long time earnestly writing about how it must have been a historical shop that years ago used to print and make books. I really do cringe when I think how much my teacher must have giggled over it

Both involved my poor dad.

I was 4 and my older, wiser 5yr old neighbour suggested we make penises out of cardboard. We stuck them on with sellotape and were both stood over the toilet bowl, trying to wee through said penis- when my dad walked in!

When I was 8, dad and I were swimming backstroke. As we set off, I stretched my hand back but instead of hitting the water- I groped his crotch 😬

Mine was when I was 12, went camping with my aunt, my cousins, my aunts friend and her kids.

I made fast friends with the 15 year old daughter of my aunts friend (will call her Emma)

On the second night we had a sleepover in my aunts tent, Emma was whispering to me about her boyfriend and to keep up and pretend to be grown up I guess I went on about how much oral sex I had performed, not realizing my aunt was still awake and hearing our entire conversation. A part of me died when I heard her say ‘alright now girls I think it’s time to go to sleep’

Its still brought up at family gatherings

I was 7 and this time I'd had a stomach bug and was off school for a few days. I had the runs and headaches etc. Went back to school but still wasn't feeling quite right. It was a very windy day and we were all lined up in the playground ready to go in. I had some tissues in my little hand and accidentally let them go so they flew all over the ground. As I rushed off to pick them up I had another dose of the runs .... as I bent down to collect the tissues my skirt blew up and it was all over my white knickers and running down my legs...

The other kids took the p* out of me for weeks after!

Two things spring to mind...

First day at a new school and given a hymn book. Never had one before. Proceed to sing hymn in assembly and at the end of each verse it said "chorus". I literally sang the word chorus.

Other one is my parents took us to see their friend house for lunch. On the table was a bowl of what I thought were new potatoes.... proceeded to spoon them onto my plate when the husband of the couple told me oh you do know they're artichokes not potatoes? I was so embarrassed I just said yes I know and then had to eat them to save face. I thought they were disgusting.

I remember learning to count in Welsh in school, and one day when we had company over I told them I knew how to say 100, and repeatedly shouted ‘cunt’ at my parents guests while my parents argued that’s not how you pronounce it 🤦🏼‍♀️ im actually a little sore about that 40 years on, my dad took me out of the room and smacked my bum when I genuinely didn’t know what I had done wrong 😟

My mum worked in a pub kitchen, the landlord and lady were kind enough to let her bring me to work and I spent most of my summer days in their lovely beer garden on the climbing frame SHOUTING IN TO THE SKY TO MAKE THE BIRDS FLY THINKING I WAS SNOW WHITE OR SOME SHITE.

I remember the Santa's grotto at my primary school. I asked Santa for a bigger present. My mum was really upset with me. I cringe hard at this 😅

Wtf?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
