I would say either ripping a whole bowl of spaghetti hoops over or screaming through the notebook.

Standing at the front of a queue at the sorting office, when DD was two, we’d been waiting for a while and her little legs were tired so when we got to the front I perched her on the counter while the postman looked for the parcel we were collecting. Just as he arrived back to the window she pulled the front of my top right down and said “Mummy, I like your boobies”
My embarrasment was compounded by the fact that there was a security camera covering the counter that is visible to the entire queue. I will never forget the walk of shame back past everyone while focussing intently on the grey carpet. Blush

DS1.. carved a big Z into my sideboard (his name starts with a Z) and claimed his sister did it.

Cut 'snowflake' patterns into the RAF net curtains and claimed little brother did it. Said little brother was 2 with disabilities and couldn't sit properly let alone use scissors...

Drew all over his walls...

Jumped off the extension roof onto the trampoline and onto the fence in one leap... bye bye fence!

He has grown up very nice now.. still likes creative art tho!!!

My youngest hid in a play kitchen at school. She didn't make herself known, despite them all making a big fuss. The police were called, I was called, teachers were crying...all for her to be found giggling around an hour later. I'm the mother who's child "went missing", I've quite a notoriety in the playground 🙄

Ds2 got a large retro plastic ring he'd taken from a display stuck on his finger in a charity shop... Very embarassing. The lady in the shop had to put hand cream on it. It shot off his finger and under a rack of clothes. BlushBlushBlushBlush
He also got the lid off a tin of paint and walked it all over the path and lawn. My neighbour heard me screaming at him and got her fabulous son and his equally fab pressure washer to take the whole lot off!!

4yo DS announces to the full waiting room full of men (apart from me) in the barbers that his willy was hard Confused

I'm crying with laughter at all of these! Thank you for starting OP

cricketmum84 · 05/03/2019 21:42

I have 14 years worth of stories so will pick a couple!

The sudocrem incident... 2yo DS, big piot of sudocrem, glass panelled door. It took a hell of a lot of mr muscle to clean that off!

Family party in a rugby club, I thought then 8yo DS was on the dance floor, he wasn't, cue hysterical searching of the club, toilets, car park, surrounding roads, I was in tears, about to call police and he snuck out from under a table.

I won't even go into the stuff he does as a teen.

Cornishmum00 · 05/03/2019 21:43

Dd was 4 when we saw a man with 1 leg in shop, began hopping around shouting mummy look ive lost my leg! Everyone looked🙈

cricketmum84 · 05/03/2019 21:43

Oh and piping up "why is that man so fat". In a taxi. Pointing at the driver.

So embarrassing!

Hailthelime · 05/03/2019 21:43

Threw a bucket of sand in a babies face whilst playing in a sandpit. He was 3 or under

youwantathingamibob · 05/03/2019 21:50

In my local shop (where all the staff know me well)with 3 year old DS 'my mummy has spots on her face!' to everyone we walked passed. I was mortified more so by the fact my hair was up in a bun so couldn't hide behind my hair and felt like everyone was now staring at the one small spot on my jawline that I thought I'd covered well with concealer.

Also walking into a crowded restaurant loudly proclaiming 'it's fucking windy outside!'. Then edit 'restaurant' to 'nursery' and 'windy' to 'raining' and I forced DP to do drop offs and picks for the rest of the week because I was to embarrassed to face the staff!

Dc2 drew on some bats on a charity shop with a pen(i ended up buyinh them)
Dc had done a poop in knockers (trying to potty train) my dad was watching her and hadnt realised, so had continued to let her go down the park slide.
Ds5 did a poop drawing in a toilet cubicle.
Dc accidentally painted on another child's trousers at toddler group.
One Of them hid the keys in the trailer of their trike and it took us days to find.
Ds 3yo was trying on shoes and walking in them in the shop, decided to make a bolt for it (they are like the wind) with me and the assistant in hot pursuit.
Once dc 3yo also ran in the gp surgery and straight out the fire exit (with me chasing and the receptionist watching).
They are literally houdini so couldnt strap them in pushchair after 2yo.

Today she was liked up to my handbag, put her face inside bodily looking around and then SNEEZED 🤧 onto it euuuughhh!!!!!

When she was about 9 months old she caught hold of a lady’s beautiful long hair when we stood behind her in a queue- could not prize those chubby little fingers off it!!!!

DinkyHamster · 05/03/2019 22:14

When she was about 6 or 7, Dd cut my mil's hair (whilst mil was asleep) and gave her a large bald patch Blush

WhoWasIt · 05/03/2019 22:21

Accidentally burnt a full hay barn down when he was about 12....which almost took the farmhouse and surrounding buildings with it.

PivotPivotPivottt · 05/03/2019 22:21

Both of mine have shat on the floor, picked it up and took a bite. 5 years between them you'd think I'd have learnt my lesson first time round.

PivotPivotPivottt · 05/03/2019 22:30

They were both aged 1 at the time!

IdaBWells · 05/03/2019 22:36

Eldest dd aged 16 got caught drinking with best friend by German host family, sent home in disgrace. I think it did her reputation a ton of good at school as she is generally sweet and compliant. So “punishment” became more of a victory lap.

Oh jeez @DinkyHamster

@Frozenmargarita17

Blush yes. Mil and Fil were babysitting whilst we were at work. Fil went outside to mow the lawn and left the girls playing a board game. Mil fell asleep in her chair and dd1 found the kitchen scissors and decided to play hairdressers Shock

We paid for mil to go to the real hairdressers to try and remedy the situation but even with the hairdressers best efforts it still looked awful for months until it grew back. Needless to say Dd was punished for such silly behaviour (I think we made her write an apology letter to Granny as well as losing her games console for a period of time)

MichonnesBBF · 05/03/2019 23:05

During a welcome meeting to my sons new school, we were sat in the hall with all the other parents listening to the head talk.

When there was a very small gap in when she wasn't talking my then 4 year old decided that would be the perfect time to let off the loudest fart I have ever heard him makeBlush

All I could see was a line of shoulders shaking in front of me and lots of sniggering behind me Blush

thaegumathteth · 05/03/2019 23:14

Da was never really all that naughty. Worst thing he’s ever done is keep us awake every night for 3 bloody years!

Dd on the other hand

Hid her glasses and denied all knowledge

Hid ds’s favourite soft toy because he’d annoyed her.

Climbed on a table at a wedding and are the sweets from the centrepiece.

Ran away from grandad on a walk because he told her off.

Drew on the dining room table.

Drew on the walls.

Wiped the menu off a sign in a cafe.

Asked an old lady if she knew that she’d die soon?

Loudly asked me why a girl was dressed as a witch when Halloween was finished (she was an emo)

Kept referring to a lady in Tesco as a man and would not be corrected and listed reasons why it was definitely a man.

She’s 8 now and thank god those years are behind us but tbh I dread the teenage years.

ithinkmycatistryingtokillme · 05/03/2019 23:20

Landlord had side of house repainted, a few days later dd2(4yrs) and the lad next door(3yrs) decided to draw on it with permament markers! Dd2 tried to blame it all on the lad until we pointed out that she had written her name!

Same two decided to paint the outside of next door neighbours but one fence

We couldn't take our eyes off them for two minutes if they were playung together, thankfully most of their mischief now happens on roblox or minecraft, woe be tide anyone they're pkaying with if they gang up!
