To ask of the most embarrassing thing your children have done/said

So few hours ago started a thread about embarrassing stories with in laws and they made me laugh so thought I'd see if anyone had any funny/embarrassing stories about their children?

My dd is 3 and im expecting again soon so we went through the whole 'where babies come from'.
She was happy with what I told her and she didn't mention it again.
So went to see Fil and she went straight upto him and said mummy is going to poo out a baby...
We all laughed and it was fine, it was more embarrassing when she told the whole school playground with parents and teachers there and the postman on the way home from school.

At my brother's engagement party I had just separated from my husband, so there with my kids. All fine until dd 6 out of nowhere raised her voice and loudly exclaimed: "Mummy had a man in the house- and daddy came and told him to go away". You could hear a pin drop.

Dd, (just 5), out for supper just before Christmas saw a lady enter the restaurant dressed for a party 'why's that lady in her pyjamas?'
Same evening, mooned a party of rugby players having their Christmas dinner to prove the elastic in her tights had failed.

Remembered another lovely helpful one from DD on the back of reading Serious's post:

Customs official at Heathrow: And what is your relationship to the child?
Me: I'm her mother.
DD (who refers to me as mama) looks up at me in astonishment: Are you my mother, mama??

Thanks DD

mojo just think parents should teach their children to not pull out their erect penis and talk about their sausage? You're accusing me of being nasty then write that delete as applicable nonsense? All of them or none at all - do you actually care?

MrsHathaway · 07/02/2017 22:48

How long do you think that takes, babycham? At two he has absolutely no concept of modesty or sex. He's only just found his penis, relatively speaking, and depending on how potty trained he is he likely doesn't have much control over it yet - that's fascinating, and he wants to share his discovery. It takes a lot of iterations of "willies are private: put it away" before you can be confident there won't be a random flash.

New family friend which she approached poked his tummy said you've got a big tummy...thanks Peppa Pig lol

babysham little children don't have a filter yet- that is the gist of this thread. Little boys play with their willies all the time and the willies often 'pop up' Grin at that age. It's very innocent and amusing, and that's a lovely story that op told, it made me lol.

SpangledShambles · 08/02/2017 11:00

My dd aged nearly 3, on a plane but happily sitting with my dsis not me- said loudly to her auntie so everyone heard (small plane), 'do you have a furry bottom?' I left them well alone on that flight Grin

'Little person', or 'person with dwarfism', FYI :)

Babycham, this is a light hearted thread of the funny things children do! At 2, that was funny! The child was not 12 when it wouldn't be funny!

So, I'm sure that the parents explained to the child over time, perhaps that wasn't the done thing.

Lighten up! I'm sure the child in question is not going to become a flasher!

littlebunnyhophophop · 08/02/2017 13:37

My son has asd and apparently no filter at all , turned round and said the old dears next to us look like dinosaurs BlushGrin and every time we see a person in a wheelchair (have explained they have a problem with there legs bla bla doesn't seem to sink in) he always asks 'what's happened to you?' 'What's wrong with your legs' most people are very nice and tell them they have poorly legs but still mortifies me every time though Blush

When dd1 was 3 we were on a bus driving past a grave yard. She turned to the old man behind us and said "you'll be in there soon".

And then at 4 again on a bus she announced to a young man "if you put your penis in my mummy you could make a baby". My sister was pregnant and we had just been to the library to look at books about where babies come from. The driver laughed.

I bought a car after that! Decided dd1 was best kept away from people

Againagain97 · 08/02/2017 15:35

Piginmuck! Hilarious! Especially the penis in mummy one!

Good move getting a car, don't let DD have an Oyster card for goodness sake!

My daughter aged 4 copied a man with a very pronounced limp walking round a shop in Bluewater once, thinking he was doing it for comedy purposes.

Schwifty · 08/02/2017 23:40

These have had me in stitches! Thank you all for sharing! Not my dc but many years and a few stone ago, flat chested and changing at the gym, dd asks loudly "mummy, why doesn't that lady have any boobies?" Poor mum was crimson but I was bent double!

someonestolemynick · 09/02/2017 00:25

I was babysitting:
DCharge was meant to go to sleep. He looks at me: "Niiiiick, did you put on weight."
Me: "No idea."
5 minutes pass.
DC: Niiiiiick, what's a centimetre.
I show him how roughly a cm with my thumb and forefinger.
Me: About this much.
DC: [disappears behind my massive arse]
Me: what are you doing?
DC: 30
Me:What
DC: You're 30 centimetres bigger than last time.

In public loo with dd 3 "mum why do you have hairs on your foo"Blush

Went to a Halloween party and 4 year old was obsessed with a Freddie Krueger mask/the.rotten teeth. Shortly after told someone they 'Freddie Krueger teeth'.

Scrumptiousbears · 09/02/2017 03:03

In a changing room at a swimming pool my 2.5 year old says "mummy, your boobies are long" Hmm

TheresABluebirdOnMyShoulder · 09/02/2017 04:24

babysham you clearly have no understanding of the inner workings of a 2 year old and to be honest you're making yourself look a bit silly. There's no need for the attitude and trying to make out that someone is a bad parent is out of order. It's a light-hearted thread, just a bit of fun. If it's not doing it for you then I'm sure there are tons of other threads you can get involved in.

babychamcherryb · 10/02/2017 03:38

Theresauebirdonmyshoulder you sound like a right bossy mare.

And I stand by my view that it's grim and not a light hearted funny thing a child said, just plain nasty.

sofato5miles · 10/02/2017 04:51

My DH was on a domestic flight with our 5 yr old DD and they were stuck on the tarmac. He was going to be meeting me at my old schoolfriend's house for half term. He texted her to say that we were delayed.

My DD: is that text from Mummy.
DH: No. Sarah, Mummy's friend.
DD: who?
DH: you know her she's the mummy of x, y, z.
DD: No. Why did she put kisses on it?
DH: Because she's my friend too.

By which point DH said all heads turned towards him and frantically tried to explain and get her to remember them.

Haffdonga back in the 60s my 3yo brother waved at the bus conductor and asked if it was a man or a woman too. my mother wasn't sure either

CaptainCabinets · 10/02/2017 06:15

There was a lady with dwarfism passing us in the street, 4yo me asked very loudly "who let that little girl out on her own?" my Dad was Blush
