Times your child has totally embarrassed you/things that make you laugh years on

[Cadela]

Just thinking about DD’s first clear word. I’d dropped a cast iron stock pot lid on my foot a day before and shouted SHIT in pain. Of course Dd waited until she was having lunch with my mum and grandma (v religious and proper) and dropped her cheese sandwich off the high chair and proudly said “shit” in incredibly clear language. My mum tore me a new one for that 😂

Second was close to Christmas was Dd was about 3, and we were sleeping in my bed. I’d stupidly left scissors out on the side after wrapping presents and woke up to my long brown hair left on my pillow when I sat up. Lovely bald spot right on the back of my head. Dd thought it was hilarious, I can laugh now 5 years later (as it’s grown out)

In church with my son who was about 3 at the time. At collection time, I gave him a coin, so he can place it in the collection basket. Without me noticing, he put the coin in his mouth and when a woman with the collection basket approached us, he spat it inside🙈

A hushed, packed audience of grown ups and small kids waiting excitedly for the show to start.

The main character walk onto the stage. My tiny DD, loudly. Very loudly

"That's not Noddy mummy, that's a man in a suit!"

🤣😜😳

Also same DD, whilst I'm on a conference call with the Board of the large company I worked with, again very loudly

DD "Mummy I need a poo!"

CEO: Erm, do you need to see to that ?

To be fair it was a non working day and I shouldn't have been on the call.
