I was dropping her off and there was only one other child there with his mom. I said "Why don't you do the puzzle with Amin?" She said, really loudly, "No, I only play with people who have vaginas". 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776785 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 09:34:33 +0000 kodybear 2776785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at target and my 3 year old saw a mannequin with a bikini on. He started repeating, "mama! Why is she naked??" while walking over to her and then putting his hand on her boob saying "She's naked! She's naked!" 🙈 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776783 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 09:02:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2776783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The other day we were standing outside our new next door neighbors' house chatting when my 4 year old suddenly, urgently, announced, "I have to go potty!" Said she couldn't wait until we got home (again- next door). The mom was really nice and said she could use their bathroom and the 12 year old daughter brought her in. Next thing I know the 12 year old comes out looking all awkward and tells me my kid peed all over their bathroom floor. Ummm welcome to the neighborhood, new neighbors! Luckily since she's a mom, she didn't really care! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776764 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 23:12:22 +0000 skipra 2776764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most recently my oldest started laughing at the boy bagging our groceries who has some disabilities. I felt horrible about that but I know he just thought the boy was being silly and didn't understand.<br /> I do think I was most embarrassed a few years ago when we went to a water park with a group from our town (we were new to the area so barely knew anyone) and when we were changing in a stall he said, "Mom you have a penis!" He was asking as that was the hot topic of the week but of course it sounded like an announcement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776759 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 21:36:13 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2776759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! Thanks for sharing ladies ;) Teachers at my school are still picking on me (in a friendly way haha) and it cracks me up that LO now has to point out every single fire alarm and tell me that its there and he won't touch it. Thanks kid. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776514 Fri, 29 Sep 2017 08:51:50 +0000 Reese 2776514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: my son does this too except will continually yell "HI GRANDMA" until they respond. The bizarre part is that we don't even use the word grandma in our family (we say it in a different language) and anyone over 35 is apparently free game to be called grandma 😳 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776496 Fri, 29 Sep 2017 08:16:36 +0000 erinbaderin 2776496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: Every time my son sees an older woman he points and yells "Mom, that lady looks like Nana!" Also any mad with a white beard gets "Look, it's SANTA!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776442 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 23:24:41 +0000 808love 2776442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD doesn't know how to navigate crowds. Especially in narrow spaces in the bathroom. She is always darting in front of people making them stop abruptly without even an Excuse Me. I think this is one of the parenting things you don't find out until you become one-kids can embarrass you in public!!</p> <p>Btw these are funny- I hope this thread has a long life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776411 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 21:14:56 +0000 skinnycow 2776411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shabang: My daughter kind of does this too! When she sees a man that looks even remotely similar to DH she'll point at him and yell "DADA!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776366 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 16:29:22 +0000 gotkimchi 2776366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were in line trying to order at Panera and I was holding my 3yo on my hip and she keeps pointing and asking what's that? what's that? to my nipple. I kept saying it's nothing but she would not accept that :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776362 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 16:24:29 +0000 wrkbrk 2776362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, my son has only embarrassed me in public by crying or throwing a tantrum ... based on these stories I can't *wait* until he is talking! :shocked: :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776345 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 15:20:51 +0000 catlady 2776345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few months ago, we walked by a woman wearing a white hijab that covered her whole face and body. LO points and asks very me loudly, "Mama, why is that lady dressed like a ghost?" I wanted to melt into the sidewalk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776344 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 15:08:07 +0000 Raspberry 2776344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at the grocery store and a guy was clearly having a fight on the phone (f-bombs). My 2.5 year old stopped in his tracks, pointed at the guy and shouted, "BAD WORD, Mama!"</p> <p>Another time at the grocery store there were two dark-skinned girls with dreadlocks and as we passed them he told me that they were dirty. I know for a fact he was talking about their hair but I wanted to crawl under a rock because if they heard him they may have thought he was talking about skin color. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776329 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:31:47 +0000 shabang 2776329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter used to call all men "daddies" and all women "mommies". We'd be in the store, and she'd point out each to me as we walked by people. "Daddy? Daddy. Daddy!" It was awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776320 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:01:07 +0000 mrskansas 2776320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has been a while since this happened but my daughter (2.5) was with me at the store and we saw an extremely obese woman. My daughter pointed at her and said "WHOA!".</p> <p>I don't think she noticed but I hauled a$$ out of there anyways! I try to laugh about it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776318 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 13:58:52 +0000 HappyBaker 2776318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: DS is 2.5 but still confuses boy/girl, man/woman so whenever he sees a stranger he yells "Is that a man? Is that a woman?". It is so awkward haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776311 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 13:40:19 +0000 bubblegum 2776311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: hahaha we may be the parents but they truly run the show! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776195 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 08:54:53 +0000 MrsADS 2776195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum I feel like most of my 2 year old's speech is just demands. "Mommy sit right here, daddy change the diaper, get in mommy's car now"... etc etc. I feel ya </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776188 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 08:47:38 +0000 lawbee11 2776188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh what is up with the boob stuff? After LO's swim lesson a few days ago the instructor got out of the pool and LO yelled, "Whoa! She has big boobs!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776184 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 08:44:54 +0000 bubblegum 2776184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH came to pick me up from work and DS's window was down and he yelled "Mama come here now! Mama sit down!!"...who's the parent again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776176 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 08:36:34 +0000 erinbaderin 2776176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not insanely embarrassing, but we were at a friend's house last weekend - we'd had a nice afternoon swimming in their pool, and were just about to head out when my son announced he wanted to watch tv. I said no, he could watch tv when we got home, and he had a screaming meltdown - I had to carry him out the front door while he flailed and screamed "I WANT TO WATCH TV RIGHT NOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!" leaving my husband to grab all the bags and the toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776173 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 08:33:23 +0000 MrsADS 2776173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my 2 year old likes to yell "boobie, boobie, boobie!" in public places (church, etc) and try to grab my boob and get it out (he's still nursing a few times/day). And anywhere in public he sees a random person, he will point at them and yell "WHO'S THAT?" really loud. I guess it will get worse. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776148 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 23:22:49 +0000 BeachMama 2776148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, we were out to dinner at the Yard House last year. It was very busy with lots of people waiting for tables. It was cold outside so everyone was crowded near the entrance. I was holding my 2 year old when he pulled the fire alarm. Thankfully they didn't have to evacuate and were able to turn it off somewhat quickly but oh. my. god. was I embarrassed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776146 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 23:06:37 +0000 yoursilverlining 2776146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another bra/boob story to add to the above! We were at the butcher counter at the grocery store the other day and LO was on my hip and just as I tell the lovely young butcher what I need, LO slips her hand down my shirt, cups my boob and tell me and the butcher loudly "boy I just love your mimi's!!" :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776134 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 21:24:45 +0000 Mama Bird 2776134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: haha! My two-year-old likes to look down my shirt front in random places going "fuzzy! fuzzy bra!" and trying to pet it. It's not even that fuzzy :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776130 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 20:56:49 +0000 Madison43 2776130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the back to school ice cream social at my older daughter's preschool this year, I was chatting with another parent while holding my soon to be 2 yr old daughter. She started saying "bra? bra? bra?" - I looked down and realized she had unbuttoned my the top half of my shirt and sure enough, I was basically standing there with my bra out. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-kid-embarassed-you-lately#post-2776106 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 20:00:53 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2776106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just started teaching again at our neighborhood school and my son is a student there (he is in Pre-K.) Guys, today he pulled the fire alarm when I was walking him to his classroom. They had to evacuate the school, the fire dept came in fire trucks. It was insane. Fortunately it was like 5 minutes before the first bell so there weren't many students in the building...otherwise it would have been even crazier. But still. 😵</p> <p>Tell me your funny kid stories and help me feel like less of a train wreck. 😂😂😂 </p>
