"You need some wine for you, mama!!" Helpful.</p> <p>She also is really into Wizard of Oz, and princesses and witches generally. So, lots of "that lady looks like a good witch" or "that lady looks like the old, old lady witch mama!" My insides curl up in a ball and DIE</p> <p>And the top embarrassing one is that LO and I have a game where I kick up my leg high like a rockette and she walks under it. For whatever reason, instead of "open your leg" she calls it "open your butt". Yeah, imagine your toddler in line at target yelling top-loudness and laughing "open your butt, mama!!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225388 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:50:08 +0000 WinterBee 2225388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: Lol! I totally agree with you! I don't have kids yet, but as a teacher I hear lots of funny things!<br /> 'my daddy looooveeesssss drinking, he gets drunk all the time!'. Lol... they say the funniest things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225345 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:07:27 +0000 shellio 2225345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From the other side - I had bad acne as a teenager and in my late teens I remember a kid asking "What's on your face?" Obviously if I still remember almost 20 years later it wasn't totally benign but I remember it didn't bother me much and I was more embarrassed for the child's mother who was clearly mortified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225325 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:50:51 +0000 Truth Bombs 2225325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Oh we did not teach her this! But two of her best friends have baby siblings so she saw their moms at full term and kind of put two and two together. She's a little older than your LO though so you might be safe!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225322 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:48:01 +0000 Jess1483 2225322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: My son is obsessed with who has a penis and who doesn't. As far as I know, the conversation hasn't left our house, but I'm sure his preschool friends/teachers will be asked/told about their genitalia soon... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225314 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:44:07 +0000 Jess1483 2225314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and I were walking around town with my 2.5 year-old, and decided to teach him about the red hand meaning you can't cross and the white man meaning you could. This was followed by a lot of loud "It's a white man, mama!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225304 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:38:01 +0000 Umbreon 2225304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at work and trying so hard not to laugh out loud. </p> <p>I'm sure when I have kids and have to experience this, it won't be so funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225241 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 13:52:18 +0000 kjpugs 2225241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing from my 20 month old yet, but the death comments remind me of my own childhood. Our neighbor Fred died, and I assume they had to explain it to us. We would go play in their pool sometimes and I would refer to him as "Dead Fred" and would ask questions that started with "Before Fred got dead..." My poor mom must have been mortified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225240 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 13:52:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2225240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily ac hasn't said anything too embarrassing, and at not quite two, not everyone understands her as well as I do anyway. But lately we have really been stressing that you always have to wear a helmet when you ride bikes. Lately whenever we see someone riding a bike without a helmet, she yells out, "ride bikes! No hat?" (Hat= helmet). But hey- they should be wearing no helmets so I'm not embarrassed. :)</p> <p>@Truth Bombs: I'm purposely not teaching C that big belly means baby. She knows there is a baby in MY belly but I definitely don't point out other bellies. Hoping to avoid that but who knows... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225232 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 13:50:06 +0000 Truth Bombs 2225232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: My LO likes to point at random strangers and share her opinons of them "I like that man!" "I NO like that lady!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225221 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 13:46:01 +0000 cascademom 2225221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday, at almost 3 years old, my LO 1 asked why a morbidly obese woman was "so big" at McDonald's. I was so embarrassed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225219 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 13:44:47 +0000 sometimesshesings 2225219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: haha!

Most of it is benign, like her newest thing is shouting "man!" or "lady!" or "dog!" at whoever we pass on the street....so that's going to be fun when one day, I'm sure she'll inevitably shout the wrong gender out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225110 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 12:46:30 +0000 rachiecakes 2225110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J hasn't said anything yet - </p> <p>but I'll never forget a shopping trip with my friend and her preschooler daughter. We were in the crowded parking lot at a shopping center and her daughter was SCREAMING about how itchy her butt was, like meltdown city. And she's yelling, " my butt is itchy!! aaaaahhhh it's itchy right in the hole!! "</p> <p>Her daughter is 14 now and loves hearing that story, hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225098 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 12:42:56 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2225098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is too young to say anything embarrassing yet, but when I taught a 2.5 year old class at a daycare there was one little girl who said, "my mommy has a hairy pagina (vagina)" Then about 5 min later after I turned back around from hiding my face from laughing, she said, "my daddy has a big penis." I DIED. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225058 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 12:10:01 +0000 looch 2225058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's the same age and he doesn't say anything really horrific, watch he will now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225056 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 12:08:18 +0000 lamariniere 2225056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: haha!

I'm going to die of embarrassment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2225021 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 11:54:40 +0000 Alivoo01 2225021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man!! These are too funny.

D pointed at him with a disgusted look and said that the man looks creepy. I wanted to turn invisible. I later told him not to say these things in front of people and he said, “it's not like he didn't know!“ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2224422 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:02:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 2224422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha these are amazing!! </p> <p>My kid is still too young to be very embarrassing yet, but I've heard some awesome ones at school as a teacher. Most parents would be mortified if they knew what their kids repeated at school :shocked: Recently, a little girl (age 4), sat on my lap, pointed down and said "Do you have a vagina like my mommy?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2224417 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 05:50:47 +0000 hellocupcake 2224417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my kids, but one time we went to the movies and the cashier had a bad acne problem. My niece asked him what was wrong with his face and if he needed a bandaid?! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2224393 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 04:47:45 +0000 lamariniere 2224393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NavyRN2012: Gah! That would be so embarrassing!</p> <p>My 4.5 yo son comments on or asks questions about everything and has a really LOUD voice. He's fascinated by motorized wheel chairs so every time we see one he starts pointing and talking about it loudly. We've talked about how it's not nice to point and talk about people so he's getting a handle on it, but it's still pretty obvious. He also likes to comment about elderly people. Once we were in a bakery and the server was probably 50. My son shouted out "Mama, do you think that lady is OLD?" Luckily, I don't think she heard/understood him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2224392 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 04:31:42 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2224392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: "he pooped" Omg, I would have died...what did you do?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2224391 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 04:30:06 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2224391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, these are making me scared for the future!</p> <p>My aunt likes to tell a story about my cousin when he was little. (In the 80s.) They always used to go to the same supermarket, and quite often would check out with the same cashier, a pretty young lady who was black. Well, one day while going through the line, my cousin very seriously asked her, "Are you Mrs. Cosby?" The lady, without missing a beat replied, "Honey, I wish I was!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2224382 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 01:40:28 +0000 FannyMae 2224382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sometimesshesings: hahahah this kills me!!

Mama and me love f*ckses. (She was trying to say foxes)<br /> To me: mama a need a new cock (clock)<br /> To me about an elderly man: mama he stinks, he pooped. Change his butt.<br /> That was just one day. Lord help me! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-embarrassing-comments-in-public#post-2224366 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 00:14:51 +0000 mamimami 2224366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: oh my gosh that is hilarious/horrifying! I could totally see my son doing that, too, as he's sort of obsessed with who is dead, and if he learns about some famous person who is dead, their deadness is like the only fact that matters to him. I am going to be sure not to tell him that it happens to old people. </p>
