Embarassing Moments with Children
Who has had one? Last weekend my girls and I went shopping. They went to a sports store to look at soccer cleats. I strolled to VS to pick out some lingerie! Unbeknownst to me, my youngest daughter who is the tomboy of all tomboys wanted to know why I would want to wear 'that stuff' !
I know I turned red and stumbled around in a pathetically adult attempt to shift the conversation. I thought I was successful and that she had forgotten all about it. However, she just called me at work and going totally off topic brought it up again. Very random and I don't have any idea why but now I'm entering a realm previously not experienced.
So, I wonder to myself....who else has had to do any explaining to their kids?

I had one today.
I came home from running an errand while my brother watched my son and my sons cousins.
As soon as I came home I heard all the kids giggling. Turns out my 8 year old son raided my panty drawer and was showing his cousins my bra and panties and threw them around in the living room....0 -
I had a particular bra that was black lace over a nude material. My daughter walked in the room and told me my bra was gross because it looked like it was just lace.
When my son was about 2 years old he had toddled into my closet. I thought he was just playing hide and seek so I went to go find him. When I opened the door I found him trying to put on one of my bras. I, of course, laughed and he was so startled and I think embarrassed that he screamed and ran to the back of the closet and hid in the corner. He's seven now and hates when I tell that story.0 -

Oh my...that is funny. Similar to something that happened between me and my brother and his friends when we were kids. I was mortified and remember running 'tattling' to my mom, LOL!0 -

It sounds as if you handled both really well! I'm thinking of avoiding home, LOL!0 -
When my oldest son was just about 3 years old We were out to dinner and enjoying ourselves. As we got up to leave we walked by a table of older, silver haired ladies who were obviously meeting for some type of church group luncheon. So as my son walks by he looks at one nice lady who says, "hello there young man". My son loudly responds, "Men have penis's and women have vaginas!" I just felt my heart drop. But the older lady, without missing a beat, says, "well thank you son, I had almost forgot about those." And the other ladies just burst out laughing.
I was embarasssed. but it was wonderful to see how proud my son was he knew the difference. lol.0 -
Yep...my five year old spelling out the word S.E.X. in public....loud.0

just remember, the best thing about kids... is making them!

Mine doesn't have to do with underwear, but once I was at the grocery store with my son, he was probably about 4. We were standing in the checkout line, and he was pointing out colors "that sign is red, and the floor is grey..." etc. Then he pointed to his arm and said "Mommy I'm beige!"--because normal 4 year olds refer to skin tone as "beige"---then pointed at my arm and said "and you're brown" and then I realized the woman in line in front of us was African American and I prayed to God he wouldn't make it awkward...
But he was 4, so of course he did. "And she's REALLY dark brown!"--full child voice volume (which is louder than normal adult voice full volume), pointing directly at her. The woman laughed kind of uncomfortably, and all I could think was thank God he was being literal with the colors and didn't shout "and she's black!"
Another time, more recently, he loudly asked if a woman at the store had a baby in her bell because it was really big. She was clearly not pregnant, but very overweight, and she definitely heard him. Cue me quickly ushering him across the store as I gave him the "we keep those things to ourselves and use inside voices" speech while the lady gave me the stank eye. Thanks, kid.0 -
Riding the bus with my 5 year old, we sit down on the seat and she promptly announces in a very loud voice
"WOW MOM YOUR LEGS SURE HAVE A LOT OF HAIR ON THEM. YOU NEED TO SHAVE YOUR LEGS"0 -
Mine's only two at the moment, so we have yet to reach the embarrassed-in-public stage. Given his "spirited" nature, though, it's only a matter of time. Hoping to see some funny stories here, though, to give me an idea of what I'm in for!0

Most embarrassing moment I've had as a father ... when my daughter wasn't even two yet she walked into the bathroom while I was toweling off. I told her to leave of course so she did no words out of her mouth. About two weeks later we're at Church of all places and my wife is talking with a group of ladies and my daughter decides now is the time to chime in that she saw me naked and decided to say I was rather well large. I became very popular at Church and was mortified at the same time so much so I ended up no longer attending services there lol.0

Oh, Lawd! I'd die.0 -
When my nephew was 2 or so, he was fascinated with boobs. If you held him he would put his hand down your shirt and just rub them or leave his hand in the cleavage. I was at Walmart and he was in the front of the cart and I was unloading it. I turned around because I heard a lady speaking to him and there was his hand down her shirt. I was so embarrassed. I apologized and she said no biggie as her son was the same way. He is now 19 and still turns red when I tell the story. I told him I will be making the speech when he gets married...lol0

I'm thrilled it is not just me having to endure this painful passage in parenthood...0

Brother you have NO clue how bad it was. My wife would still go and give me so much flak! "The ladies are wondering why you aren't there any more? Seems you have a few fans now" OIEE!0 -

You should have owned it! Bought a shirt that said "Large and In Charge" and flaunted it every Sunday! Seriously, though, I would have wanted to puddle-ize on the spot. Hysterical!0 -

HAHAHA! Right! I should have done that but when the minister is with in ear shot and looks at ya! *Emote suicide*0 -
I'm sure there must be something..but I can't recall anything like what you're talking about, but then my son is 22 now so my memory of his tender years are long gone.
He did embarrass us at every stop along the way moving from one coast to the other...if that's any consolation. He was 3 and in the middle of being potty trained. Not a good time. He also had a nasty cold....need I go on? I think he threw a tantrum at each place we stopped to eat, sneezed on the table - yup, nice big, yucky all over the table, dumped his drink, ....0 -
i've had so many that swear to god, NOTHING embarrasses me any more. my son from 2-6 was omg Off.The.Hook.0

Not my kids but my brother.....
My parents were having a party and my little brother cut his leg on something ...he was about 5 or 6 so he went into the bathroom to put on a bandaid.....He came out with a pad on his leg, Then he went to my mom and said at the top of his little boy voice...MOMMY the bandaids sticky is on the wrong side......0 -
At breakfast one morning my daughter was sat eating when she asked me why our bedroom door had been closed the night before as she saw it when she went to the toilet, then her jaw dropped as she thought and shouted out eeeeeeeewwwww you and daddy were having sex that's disgusting lol0

My daughter was about 2 1/2 at the time and her father used to say everytime she farted "dang girl your blowing it up"
So one day her and I went shopping and as I'm in line for the department store that has a ton of peopl surrounding me she leans forward and screams "Ohhhhhhh mommy I'm gonna BLOW this place up!" I had so many people just stop and look at me as if I was a terrorist or something and then other looks as if i was a horrible mother for letting my child watch things that involved all that.
I just stopped and busted out laughing and just said ".....shes just gotta fart" and then she lets one rip, of course her sitting in the cart meant her butt was on the seat and made it echo 10x louder than necessary.
Thanks kid, lol
Then we were at the mall and had to stop off to use the restroom, she's in the stall with me and decides to blurt out extremely loud "hey mommy, lady right there is poooooooping!"
Never heard someone get up and leave so fast. lol0 -
A couple of years ago my son was watching TV and I had just gotten out of the shower. I walked across the kitchen still nakie and keep in mind I was going through a lazy phase with my "landscaping". About a week later we were at a family thing and apparently the word "weiner" is hilarious to 4 year old. Him and my nephew kept saying it over and over. I walk over to him to tell him to knock it off and in a very loud voice he tells anyone within earshot 'My mom has hair on her weiner." (I guess at that age everyone has a weiner) I wanted to strangle him and run away all at once. Hilarious now!0

Late one night after checking to make sure the four kids were asleep my wife and I where really getting into the wet, wild and nasty. Things were getting really intense and we were both getting ready to pass the finish line when we look up and my nine year old daughter is standing there watching and wants to know if she needs to call 911 because she thought all the noise was me having a heart attack. Needless to say I double check the lock on the door from now on. Told her the next day that we were pretending to be circus animals and were practicing our act. At least the animal part was the truth.0

One time I told a mother how adorable her little son was. Turned out to be a girl. To be fair to me, he was dressed in yellow and didn't have any hair. So embarrassing.0

these are too funny0

I'm a fan now too!0 -
I had always assumed that when the day came for me to have "the talk" with my son I would step up and handle it honestly and thoroughly.
Well, that day came when my wife, him in tow caught me in the hallway and said he had a question I should help him with, then being the supportive wife she is, she hauled aZZ. I was caught like a rat as he looked at me with his innocent brown eyes and asked about, well, you know.....Day-um! Im not ready for this.
I took a deep breath and in my best father knows best manner (quivering voice, uh, um, well, ahem) covered everything from B to Z....then he just had to ask about A, (how do the daddy things get to the momma things?)
I broke out in a cold sweat and started frantically swinging my arms like a bird in flight and in a pleading voice kept repeating.....THEY SWIM, THE LITTLE BASTIDGES SWIM! THEY SWIM LIKE CRAZY!
I quickly took my leave and found my dear little "stand by your man" darling laying across our bed with her face buried deeply in the mattress wracked in the throes of hysteria...... I said, "b!tch" & walked out.
