Tell me a random embarrassing thing that happened to you when you were a kid

I was 11 or 12 and my next door neighbour and I watched Pretty Woman. We decided to act it out in the back lane. We borrowed my mums ciggies and her sisters clothes and we strutted up and down the back lane for business.
Our other neighbour knocked our door and told my mum what we were doing. We gave him threatening looks when we saw him taking his bins out, whilst we were saying work it baby, work it

OP- I have no idea what this means 'I’d got my arse in my hand'? I assumed you meant scratching your bum or something??? Never heard the phrase before?

2 bad memories I recall.

I was age 3/4 and neighbour 5/6 who had 2 older brothers. My older and much wise friend (in my eyes) suggested we each make a fake penis using paper and sellotape. We rolled a tube of paper and strapped them to our body with the sellotape. Whilst each standing and attempting to wee into the toilet bowl from either side- my father walked in.

2nd was again with my dad! We were sea swimming to a pier when I was about 8/9yrs old. We lived abroad in a warm country, so I had swum since very young. Once at the pier, we decided to do the reverse trip via back stroke. As I was going along backwards, my hand reached out blind to go back in the water- I realised I was grasping his crotch instead of the water 😱

IdontwWanna 😂😂😂 That's hilarious!

Accidentally farted in class and the teacher pointed it out. I was 14. Utter mortification.

I told my Dad he had brewers droop, I thought it meant he had a beer belly!

I also did a handstand against the fence outside secondary school while waiting for a lift home. I had Doc Martens on and they got wedged between the fence posts and I was stuck, in full view of the main road into town to top it off my shirt fell over my face so I was flashing my bra.

Oh I feel your pain. Very similar experience. I was 13 and the bastard drew all my spots on the caricature. I was pretty sensitive about my skin (who isn’t at that age) and it made me cry. My parents bought it too.

Aged about 9 on holiday my mum had a street artist do a pencil drawing of me. We didn't see the end result until he had finished. I still remember the shock of seeing the picture for the first time - I kid you not, I looked like a 60 year old woman. My mu. bought it because she felt obliged. I was so embarrassed and upset. We've laughed about it since!

Primary school, PE lesson, I'd forgot my PE kit. Was quite acceptable then and not unusual to do PE in your vest and pants (for an indoors lesson) if you'd forgot your kit so the teacher sent me off to the changing rooms to get undressed. Imagine how mortified I was when, in the changing rooms, I realised I'd forgot to put my pants on that morning and had to go back out to tell the teacher this

When I was in early primary school (can't have been more than age 6/7) I saw my friend sat looking really upset on a bench alone outside. So I decided to go and do a funny dance for her to make her laugh. I really went for it and made myself look really silly on purpose. Except when my friend looked up at me, I realised it wasn't her at all. I think I muttered some apology and ran.

I've never forgotten the deep embarrassment I felt in that moment.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The proper cringy one was when I was about 10 or 11.

We were all having dinner and dad was his usual jokey self ,messing with mum, possibly told her he loves/fancies her or something. I shouted "would you stop having oral sex at the table?". Both of them stared in shock, while I kept muttering to myself that it's cringy, and they're old and all the other typical nonsense. Mum had to explain to me what it meant. I didn't leave my room for two days.

I thought it was verbal teasing /innuendo kind of stuff.

I also remember wanting high healed shoes for school but (obviously) wasn't allowed so I tried sticking two little toothpaste tube lids to my shoes to look like heals.

I was a total nobber!

I put a plaster on over a spot. Everyone assumed I got into a fight(no idea why) . I preferred being "hard" than spotty so I let it run and possibly even encouraged it a bit.

I once was at a Christmas fayre (think church hall type of thing) and I really wanted a packet of yoghurt raisins. I must have been about 7, and I asked this particular stall holder how much they were about 10 times in the hope they would just give them to me.

They didn't, and I always think back and cringe.

So not so much an embarrassing thing to happen TO me, more that I'm a total embarrassment to myself

That is SO ridiculously funny it really tickled me!

Nothing as funny as that, but I was obsessed with things as a kid and went through phases that luckily I grew out of. I was the kid who played with the cardboard boxes that the toys came in rather than the toys themselves. Decapitate barbies and all that. My nan used to tell this story of when She was babysitting and she had bought me a load of plastic dinosaurs from the E.L.C (if anyone remembers that store in the U.K.!) she came downstairs and I’d proudly tied string around the dinosaurs necks and hung them from doorways. Strange stuff like that.

One That really sticks out for me is that I was obsessed with pretending I was an animal and doing my best to make others believe it. This particular evening I was a penguin, and I had coloured in an Ice cream cone and sellotaped it to my face. My dad embarrassingly encouraged this behaviour and took me to the shop and told the shop keeper I was a penguin, and seemed wildly impressed at my coned face appearance. I remember proudly standing there stiff with my hands flapped out thinking to myself ‘I’m getting away with it, she thinks I’m a penguin.’

I must have been about 11.

That's hilarious!
