The things that Kids Say
23 Answers
I was listening to the radio this morning , where parents were advising of embarrising things that their kids had said in public .
One little girl said to someone -
'' my dad has to bath and put me to bed at nights , because my mum is always in the the pub every night ''
Turns out her mum had a part time job at this pub.
Another girl was travelling on the bus with her mum , who was pointing out different animals in the fields .
Her little girl shouted at the top of her voice -
'' look mum , there is a black cow in front of us ''
To which a coloured lady on the bus seated in front of them turned round , displaying a frosty look in their direction .
What embarrasing things have your kids siad in public , which made you cringed ?

one i regularly hear that kids have said when out in public having meals is "i want a fork and knife" the amount of times ive had to tell my eldest (4) that its "knife and fork" lol
and when he was little 18 month+ he was obsessed with cars and vans and lorries etc. He would point at everyone he saw and shout!
a few times he has shouted "vancar" in the carpark of the supermarket. Though it did get even worse once he knew his colours. "black vancar" was a particularly embaressing one,

ah yes.
He spent the afternoon at preschool telling all the staff he had a secret.
Of course, the staff are trained to try and establish what a secret may be in case a child is in danger at home etc.
So they sat him down and he told one that when he was older he was going to "have sex and babies"
They were, rightly, concerned and immediately asked him to tell a senior member of staff and, luckily, she heard what he said correctly. "when i grown up Im going to have sixteen babies"

My daughter would say the first thing that came into her mind.....
She was in a cafe with my Mum, about 5 at the time, a woman with blue rinse walked in. My Mum looked at my daughters face and said 'shut up Claire' so Claire pointed at the woman and said 'why has she got blur hair? and why did you tell me to shut up Nanny?'
She asked me, loudly, why a man in a wheel chair was in a big buggy....
She also pointed at a bald man and asked me why he didn't have any hair....

I took my young son to a bookshop where he quickly bought the book he wanted and then came and stood by me. In the meantime I was browsing, taking books from the shelves, having a look and then replacing them. This happened a few times and my son, getting impatient, said unfortunately quite loud " are you going to pay this time ?" I knew he meant was I going to purchase this one, but the staff and other shoppers didn't. We left very quickly !
When my son was about 3 I took him and my daughter into Manchester Arndale Centre. He had never seen african caribbean people before and i knew he was staring at them! We went into a shop where a black girl served us and she leant forward to ask my son if he was having a nice day shopping with Mummy. His reply "Yes, and it is full of black people just like you!". Hasty retreat to the station!
My youngest was three when she saw her first black man - an old gentleman - sitting on the bus a few seats away.
She stared at him for a few minutes and then opined loudly "Daddy, that man's got BLACK SKIN!!!"
Yes, i said, he's a black man.
She stared for a ferw more minutes, and then in that stage whisper that little ones do when the surrounding sixty people can hear, she advised me
"He's got BLACK EARS!!!!"
fortunately, the gentleman smiled indulgently - i was just grateful she didn;t got ot nursery in Compton!

not exactly something that was said, but i wished the ground would open up anyway.
Baby CRX (just turned 2) was walking besides us past a supermarket. Its a pedestrianised precinct so she was toddling free.
anyway suddenlt she throws her arms in the air aand shouts "woohoo" and legs it to the front doors of the shop.
before we could catch her she jumped into an invalid scooter (with roof) and was holding the steering wheel and trying to make it rock.
she had obviously thought it was one of those amusements .
the owner came out just as we got there and we had to explain what was going on and why out child was trying to drive her scooter.

When my son was about fvie we were queueing in Tesco's and he said 'Mum can we go to another till?' when i asked why he said 'cos that man in front in front of us really SMELLS!'.
When he got a little older (and somewhat wiser to my concern about his always playing up in supermarkets) one day he'd really been playing up and when i turned to tell him off once again he jumped back, put his arms up and shouted ' Mummy please don't hit me again'. I was absolutley mortified. (I've seldom smacked him, he just knew how embarrassed i'd be!)

Oddly enough Mini Boo has yet to embarrass me in public, though I'm sure there's time yet!
However there's been many many many times when Eldest Mini Boo has. When she started primary school, they used to do a check up on their height, weight etc, with a doctor to which we as parent also went and sat in on. When the doc had done his charts etc, he informed me that she was underweight, though nothing to worry about etc. He then turned to her and said "do you not eat your teas young lady?" to which she replied "yes, but I don't like my mummy's cooking"

chelle, that reminds me of another, and wasnt even my child.
i was getting my eldest from nursery when i little kid came up and smacked my bum. I asked him why he had done it, he said i was naughty. I laughed and asked how i had been naughty and he said in a very loud voice that i had hit him! OMG i couldve died. Luckily one of the staff had seen and heard and realised it was a tall tale
