Please share with me your embarrassing toddler in supermarkets moments

Please, make me feel better!

@Fweakout I thought I'd accidentally raised a racist once as well! I came downstairs one morning to find a pair of feet sticking out of the under-stairs cupboard. DH informed me that there was someone doing something to our gas meter, handed over toddler DS and left for work. DS very excitedly pointed out the gas-man to me - 'Mummy, a black man! He's BLACK! All black, mummy!' and so on, very loudly, while I desperately tried to interrupt/distract him. A few minutes later the gas-man emerged and turned out to be not even remotely black - in fact, he was a pale, freckled redhead, but he was wearing a black uniform

Was getting a cooked chicken from the deli counter - androgynous outfit of white coat and white hat, older lady with no make-up on serving. My 5 year old son said in a loud voice 'is that a man?'. I was mortified and whispered no. As she handed me the chicken she said 'has he just asked if I'm a man?'. Bright red, I mumbled ' yes, sorry'. On the walk home I did get the fit of giggles ....so embarrassed 😁

When I take DS to Sainsbury’s he sits in the trolley and then INSISTS I’m not allowed to touch it. On the one side of things obviously I try not to give in to this kind of BS but on the other side I’m getting actually quite good at pushing a trolley without using my hands.

Ds 4 is ball mad. We were strolling through asda, I got distracted picking bananas. He spotted a watermelon picked it up and booted it up the aisle!!!!!

I've told this story many times as DS1 is now 11 but as a small child he had a very vocal argument with me in the middle aisle of Tesco
"Mummy where's your winky" (toddler loud volume)
"I don't have one" (normal volume)
"Yes you do" (getting louder)
"Mummy's don't have winkys just boys" (slightly hushed)
Yes you do, you do you do - you have a winky"
"Um I don't"
"Yes you do, you have a winky I saw it peaking out at swimming" (at shouting level)
"Shhh no I don't oh look at this toy over here" (desperately trying to distract /shut up child as I'm getting odd glances and active sniggering from other shoppers)
"Yes you do it's not as big as daddy's but you have one"
"It was peeking out at swimming, I saw it"
"Let's go get some sweets...oh look at the time...
back and forth about the subject was clear he wasn't going to let the subject go so, I decided shopping could wait to another time

He wasn't the nosiest child but that day he was deafening

I don't have kids but I love threads like this, I've been properly cracking up!
