I'm NEVer taking my kids anywhere ever again!

Hen_House_Rocks! :

Why is it that the most embarrassing things happen while standing in line at the store???

My mom was born with only one hand and it was something that I never really thought about or noticed growing up. One time we were at Krogers in the checkout line when a little girl in front of us kept staring at my mom and asking her mom what happened to that ladies hand. Her mom turned around and saw that my mom only had one hand and told her daughter, "See, that is why I don't want you playing with scissors!" The little girl looked absolutely horrified! It was so funny. My mom is used to kids staring and asking questions. She is really good with kids and usually tells them that that's how god made her, that when she was born she only had one hand.

I had a teacher born with no arm just below his elbow. he has another maybe inch or 2, and he can bend it. I guess a lot of people as him what happened, or assume he lost it in military service. He has a good sense of humor so whenever someone is being weird or rude about it he makes up a story (for example a shark bit it off in a surfing accident). Sometimes he'll wiggle his stump to freak people out. One time a new teacher asked him to help chaperone a fieldtrip to Six Flags amusement park. He said no then proceeded to tell them how he lost his arm on the rollercoaster there. (He of coure stold the truth later).

My embarrasing moment is from when I was so little that only my mom remembers the story. Apparently I really wanted the get this movie the Swan Princess. My mom wouldn't let me have it, so I took it anyway without her noticing. My mom yelled at the clerk for sometihng (I'll have to ask what and edit it in later). When she got out to the car, she discovered my movie. She was too embarrassed to go back in and return it after just flipping out on the lady.

On a less public side, my mom used to do landscaping. I was young and being pottytrained, it was summer and hot; my mom let me walk around naked in the yard of one of her customers. She decided to take a picture of said "natural" look. It's perfectly censored with a big plant in front of my areas not meant to be seen. The problem is she plans on showing it to all of my future/prospective boyfriends.

My two year old doesn't have stories like this yet. Just wait and she will, I know. I have two stories to tell. When I was little, like 3 or 4, my dad thought it would be fun to try to get me to say "Flying flock of flickers." Of course it didn't come out right, and he did this right before we went out for pizza at Pizza Hut. So there I am a little girl saying...

And the other story, I don't know if it's laughable or not. My cousin was out shopping at Wal-Mart with her son who was about 3 at the time. She wasn't going to buy him some toy or candy or something of that sort and he was a spoiled rotten little brat at the time. What does he yell? "YOU'RE NOT MY MOM!!!"

Boom. The store was shut down. Security came and brought my cousin and her son into a little room. They had to call cousin's husband to come and verify that yes, she is his mother and all that.

I can laugh at that now, because this same kid is a very responsible high schooler that even managed to get some kind of federal grant to raise goats. He's just an all-round nice kid.

These are great!

OK, I have one. At age 33, I went back to school at my local community college. I'm in line at the admissions office. I have 5 1/2 year old DD and 2 yo DS in tow. Admissions office is so quiet you could here a pin drop. EVERYONE in line is very young and most likely did not have kids. There are several young men in line around us. My DD in a loud and clear voice says "Mommy, which one is my dad?"! REALLY, are you kidding me??? Everyone just looked at me. I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me up.

I don't have any 2 legged children but trust me the 4 legged kind can embarass you just as much.

My wonderful dog Spook was a young Service Dog in training when we went to Hilton Head for one of those time-share thingie (3 days/2nights listen to them speak 90min then go shopping!) If ya'll know anything about Hilton Head SC it's a hooty-snooty-ritzy-spitzy place. If the motel wasn't free, we never would have been there.

We finished with "the talk" and went on our way with our dinner coupon (Aligator Grill fantastic!!) and decided to go do some window shopping and siteseeing. It was warm for a March day. Lurchie wandered off someplace as I was taking Spook to find a place to, ah, you know. I was wandering along this nice little natural area along the creek, there was a fancy, schmancy resteraunt across from where we were with people out on the patio. I turn back to look where Spook is when I hear SPLASH!!!!

I spin around and people are standing, pointing and looking in the creek. There is my goofy dog, swimming around in the creek chasing turtles and fish. She swims back over to me and I hoist her out. That is when she does the "happy dance" for the first time. She flips over on her back, kicking her feet, switching her body from one side to the other barking each time she moves. She jumps back up runs to the edge and barks. All the people start laughing and clapping.

She's been a bit of a clown ever since!!
 
OK = Hen House Rocks

I have tears streaming down my face at all the funny stories --these were some one else's kids!!!

But, yeah -- my kids also did some VERY embarassing things!!!

I think it goes with the territory of having kids!!

Thanks for starting a thread that got so many funny inputs!!!

Just got a text from my daughter. Her two year old pointed "at this big black guy at the Y and said 'That Darth Vader'."

Kids - gotta love 'em!
