Its 12am, i'm not tired and curious as to what lovely things your DC have done/said which is resulted in severe cringing on your behalf...

4 yr DS announced to the till lady today that she was a "pretend lady because ladies don't have face hair..."

He asked me the other day why I didn't have facial hair like dad and I said women don't get it. This till lady did have a rather noticeable amount of upper lip hair and I packed the items with rather flushed cheeks after a quiet apology. She wasn't very amused, and luckily DS picked up on her facial expression and avoided anymore talking... The shame.

Ds age 3 told a family friend she needed a shave

In living room when financial advisor visited announced his "tail is flying" and showed us

As a table in a restaurant let rip "I did a big bad boff"

Trumped in the dentist waiting room and when I asked him to say excuse me he just laughed omg

DS1, in Bella Italia, was distracted by the waiter arriving with our food, and pulled off the boob just as I let down. Milk went everywhere and the poor teenage waiter didn't know where to look! We had a different guy after that, so I think the poor lad was afraid to come back Blush

My ds aged two at the time pulled out his willy in the bread aisle in morrissons and shout "look mummy my willy is standing up" there were a lot of people in the bread aisle that morning............

DS has a knack for this. He once pulled my skirt up and announces loudly in our local shop "Look, Mummy's pink knickers" - of course EVERYONE turned to have look Blush

He also likes to announce that he has found "Mummy's juice" whenever we are in the wine aisle in the supermarket.... Blush

bodybooboo · 25/02/2014 10:26

goodness where to start.

on the bus with older dss. aged 4/5. chatting about animals and that fur keeps them warm. older ds then says very loudly ' does all that fur around your bottom keep you warm then mom'.

as teens they intercepted a request for a neighbourhood watch coordinator for our area, filled it in in my name and sent it off. had a very nice old gent call with my name badge and ID card all printed and a list of streets and addressed I was responsible for. Angry

I was smacked on the arse by a boy of about 3 years old in the Supermarket once....he said "NICE BOTTY!" Shock Grin I was torn between feeling flattered and embarrassed! To his Mother's credit she said "We don't touch ladies' bottoms!" Grin

When DS1 was a toddler I crashed the car - skidded on some ice and lost control. It was very scary, car written off etc. DS spent the next few years telling everyone he met about the day Mummy crashed the car. Unbeknown to me, in his version of events I was reading a newspaper while driving, and ever since the crash I learned my lesson and don't read the paper while driving any more. I didn't learn about this version until he was 7, by which time many many people had been told!

And just for the record, I was NOT reading the paper while driving, never have and never would!

BikeRunSki · 25/02/2014 10:13

Age just-3, at library singing and craft session DS threw down his tricky sticking and glueing in despair and exclaimed "Oh f* ". We did really have to leave then, honest!

Joysmum · 25/02/2014 10:08

Another one that came to mind was after my DD had done a sex ed class, she then very publicly asked DH is he'd ever had a wet dream Grin

Tailtwister · 25/02/2014 10:07

DS2 always loves to announce what I'm doing when I'm in a public toilets. "Mummy, you're doing a poo!" is one of his favourites and is usually accompanied by some sniggering from the cubicle next to us.

Stockhausen · 25/02/2014 09:48

Ds loves the wine section in the supermarket, it's made to be dark & cosy, all wood cladding & plastic grapes... So he always asked to go round that way when he was in the trolley. He has then announced loudly things along the lines of "oh look, it's mummy favourite.... WINE!" And "you'll be happy now mummy, since you've got wine!" Blush

PotatoPolly · 25/02/2014 09:38

not my dc but my dsis, was having a conversation with the male nurse putting a cast on her arm, for some reason announced that our dad has a spotty bum! gonna blame that one on the pain!
Love the thong twanging story, that's brilliant Grin

Binkyridesagain · 25/02/2014 09:28

My DD when she was 4 (she has made it to 22 Just) announced very loudly to a bunch of strangers on a bus (a small bus which was very full) that the previous night I had got drunk and was dancing naked on the bar at the pub. I tried to argue back (why?) but the hole just got deeper as she repeatedly said that it was true because she had seen me do it.

SomethingkindaOod · 25/02/2014 09:23

While walking through the local park DS when quite young asked me "Mum what's a vagina?" That was fun...
DD1 used to put her hand down my top and have a rummage when she sat on my knee. DD1 was formula fed so god knows what she thought she was going to get.
DD2 calls the man in the paper shop Dad. He finds this hilarious as DD is a blond haired blue eyed child. He is of Indian origin. Fortunately he has a daughter of around the same age so understands. She's worked out that she gets a treat off him if she's exceptionally cute about it so she does it every bloody time we go in Grin she's 2 btw.

FruitbatAuntie · 25/02/2014 09:21

My DS1, aged about 18m, was in the trolley in ASDA and I was browsing the clothing section. There was a lady nearby who was wearing leggings with a thong. She bent over to look at something on the bottom rack, and her thong was sticking out over the top of her leggings iyswim. DS1 leant over from the trolley and 'twanged' her thong! Blush. The poor woman jumped about ten feet into the air and spun round as if she was about to hit someone, before seeing it was a one year old and laughing. I was mortified.

MotherOfInsomniacToddlers · 25/02/2014 09:15

When holding my 2 year olds arm in order to get on a bus while also pushing a pram and she shouted "don't break my arm again mummy!"

CogitoErgoSometimes · 25/02/2014 09:10

Not really humiliation but, at my lovely gran's funeral, he asked very loudly why were we putting that box in a hole!?! I swear I could hear her laughing...

Thebluedog · 25/02/2014 09:06

I was in tesco toilets with my dd, there was a queue outside too. When my dd asks, in a loud voice 'mummy, why do you have a hairy bottom' ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

QueenofallIsee · 25/02/2014 09:06

I have told this one before but my personal hell was my DD asking very seriously of a family member if her DP was happy now as I had said he was a 'sad little man'

No way to recover from that one

CogitoErgoSometimes · 25/02/2014 09:03

With the benefit of hindsight DS seeing a huge woman in a crowded service station perched on one of those tall stools with her ample bum spilling over on either side just said what everyone else was thinking really.... Blush

monkeymamma · 25/02/2014 08:58

Heheh great stories here.

Ds (2) ATM loves telling anyone who'll listen 'mummy done poo-poo'. I have no idea why. He loves 'tiw-yets' and poo-poos and wee-wees. Like all kids this age he will also pull my top down absent-mindedly during conversations with strangers.

TinyTear · 25/02/2014 08:57

we were going to have a 1 hour bus trip after a 4 hour train journey, so i put my nearly 2yo DD on my lap on the bus and she knows what is coming so SHOUTS "booby out!!"
