What's been the weirdest or most jaw dropping thing your child has done in public and what did you do?

When my girl had just turned 1 she would almost always point at Indian men and shout Dada!

I’d just laugh coz it was awkward. Her dad isn’t even Indian 🤣

Call a old man daddy 😭😭 the guy turned around and said kid I am not your dad. I’m just thinking to myself I swear they know their dad 🫣😂

I had surgery yesterday so my brain is a little foggy but one that I remember is my son (around 3 years old) looked in a pram and asked the lady 'is that your baby?' She said yes to which he told her that her baby had a big nose 😂🤦‍♀️

I haven't had a moment like this yet but I may have been witness to another mother's moment like this! When our daughter was still a baby we went shopping together, my 27yo large redhead husband with a goatee was pushing the cart when a little girl ran almost all the way up to him and shouted "It's Santa!" pointing at him 🤣🤣 her poor mom was trying so hard to get her to stop, my husband was smiling so big after that 🤣🤣🎅🏻 We could hear "Baby, that ain't Santa!" as we were walking away 💀

My son has walked up to a stranger and gone boom-boom on their butt. Like playing the drums.

my almost 3 year old- whenever we see an elder person in public, she says “it’s grandpa/ grandma” or “where’s grandpa/ grandma going?” i always shush her because they might it be as old as she thinks / its a bit rude 🥲😂😩.

My toddler was in the bathroom with me at this children’s museum we went to. She’s very recently potty trained so she’s very interested in pottying. Anyways when I was done, she looks and goes “wow that’s a lot of poop”. Very loudly.

There was a whole ass line waiting that totally heard that I had to walk back past 😭

My daughter said very loudly in a grocery store as a very large man walked by and said “mommy why is that man so ginormous?” 🫠

My daughter is only 17 months but she tries to hand strangers stuff 😭😭😭 and they are all like: 😐 “uh” lol

My baby is only 1 month. But she had 2 blow outs within 30min while out running errands. Thankfully I pack 2-3 outfits in the diaper bag.

When my nephew was 2, they went to the children's museum. He began the stage of being fascinated with his genitals. He went to push a big dinosaur toy and shouted "I'm pushing it with my penis!!!" Also around this time when asking if he needed to potty he would ask "do you want to see my penis?" 😳🙄🤦🏼

When my 10 year old was 1 he ran up to a girl in a dress and grabbed her butt. She turned around like she was about to slap someone, when she saw my son she said awe. My husband and I were so embarrassed at the time but now we laugh about it.

Last summer when my son was 1.5 he would put his hands up my shorts

my son hasn’t done much yet but my mom says when i was a toddler, i called breasts “bottles” (i was breastfed) and i would go around asking women to show me their bottles 😭

Recently my toddler, baby and I went out to a mall, I haven’t worn a dress in a while and I was excited to finally start being brave to wear my dresses, he has outbursts of excitement because he has so much energy out of nowhere 🤦🏻‍♀️ he pulls up my dress and shouts vagina bum bum! … (I’m carrying my daughter on me with a carrier so it’s harder for me to stop him) recently he learned about the differences of boys and girls because his baby sister has a different anatomy. I was soo embarrassed I’m not wearing dresses for a while 😩

My oldest was 5 as he walked up to a group of bikers and told them that if they look at us again his mom (me) would beat them up ….
Another time he walked up to a man and told him that his mom has bigger balls than him…..
And another time he asked a man in the shopping center when his baby is die and proceeded to rub his beer belly….
Kids are just extremely funny 😅

Opportunity to teach

the number of times I've had to haul my son out of one of these....

So far the only thing has been flashing strangers by pulling my top down because he decided he needed to nurse immediately. I am sure I am in for some embarrassing, he said what moments because of some of the things he says at home. Right now I am often the only one who knows what he is saying.

My daughter used to cry when darker skinned people tried to talk to her. But she never cried when white people talked to her. I'm not racist neither is my fiance. She outgrew this stage thankfully and now says hi to everyone no matter the skin color. But it was rough for a while. We were always embarrassed and felt weird about it. For reference, she started doing this at 8 months old and then stopped around 16 months old. When she started to understand more

3 year old loudly in the supermarket "why is that man in a pushchair" to the man in a wheel chair luckily he found the funny side and told her because it's fast

She's also pulled a moony at the window to the builders whilst I was in another room

My 3 year old pulled her pants down in the booth at a restaurant.

Not weird or jaw dropping but definitely embarrassing my daughter when she was almost 3, just after we had moved to a new country and in a coffee shop. The lady on the till making our drink asked her “where are you from?” (Meaning country) and my daughter very loudly and proudly says

“I came from mummy’s vagina”

The whole coffee shop was laughing and to top it off she put pointed her little fingers at my vagina and said “just here!” 😂 😂

I was mortified! I mean she’s right she did come out of my vagina but we don’t need to tell everyone that 😂

My oldest was about 2 when she learned to say clock. But she said it without the L. We were walking outside and there was a big clock attached to a wall. She would walk and shout "big c*ck big c*ck!"

My LG isn’t at that age yet but there’s one I remember from my brother when he was a toddler. Luckily it wasn’t to a stranger😂but we was on the bus and he was looking at the priority seat sticker and said “that one’s great grandad (person with a walking stick), that one’s me and mummy (someone holding a baby), and that one’s nanny (the pregnant woman)😂😂everyone turned around and stared and my nan went bright red😂😂

Everytime my son sees a bald man he shouts that man has no hair im affronted everytime!

Once an older lady gave me an earful because my son (2) was shouting “I can’t” and it sounded like he’s calling the lady the big C word. I just stared at her because I honestly had no idea what is she talking about and just assumed that she’s mentally unstable 🤷🏼‍♀️

I remember when I was a teenager, it was winter and I and my cousins nanny were taking him to nursery. We were at a bus stop with a lot of other people absolutely freezing and then he yells “my wee is standing up! Why is it standing up “ and started trying to take his pants off to show us. I was mortified 😭😭😭 I was like don’t do that 😭😭😭😂 luckily it was all ladies at the bus stop and one just said “you’re really cold sweetheart” 😭 I wanted the ground to open and swallow me

Not to me, but to my mum. Also to be fair I'm not bothered by it as I'm glad we taught him the right words but it was funny.

"Let's walk faster sweetie as Nanny needs a wee"
"If you need a wee, why aren't you holding your penis?"
"I don't have a penis 😅"
"Of course. Nanny why aren't you holding your vulva when you need a wee?"

Apparently it was SUPER loud.

Me and my son was on the bus, he’s 3, he was talking about the police cars in the window and this dark skinned man came on the bus and as my son turns and looks this man up and down he said “ oh my god mum it’s a bad guy, he’s black, the police are coming for him” I was mortified, i sunk into the chair and couldn’t believe I was there 😭

these stories are hilarious i’m cracking up

Or every time we walk past a grave yard (we live close to one) all he says is “mommy those people are dead” repeatedly when there are people at the graves and they hear him as he is a loud boy and I’m there trying to explain why not to say that repeatedly as it’s insensitive and I told him that doctors can’t help everyone and people die and it’s sad he goes “doctors killed them” 😅 and it just made it worse 😭

My daughter at on the bus with me the other week. She just turned 4 and we normally take the car. An older lady sat beside her and she wouldn't stop talking to her. Like literally told her all about Gabby's Dollhouse and where she's going, what she had for breakfast etc. half way through our 40 min Journey she started offering her cheese crisps. She's autistic and no thanks is not a valid answer to her. She also doesn't understand very well when spoken to and 9/10 times will answer with "huh?". She got off one stop before us 🫠

Pushed the entire energizer battery fixture over because I told her she can’t have the beer in our shopping cart 🥲

I’m so sorry but this is funny.

My son mooned everyone at the YMCA

My sons first time meeting a person with a huge mole on their face, asked the guy what it was and why it was there then proceeded to tell him he thought it was a big booger and that it looked weird. 😅 he was about 4 at the time my daughter when she was 3 chuckled and looked at her brother and said, "That lady is kinda walking like a penguin" (she was an older lady with a cane) all I could do was just apologize, sometimes kids are just brutally honest. 🤣

my eldest did this in a cathedral - "there's skeletons under the floor, mummy!"

He wasn't wrong!

My son walked his toddler trolley up to a lady with dwarfism in the supermarket, stopped right beside her, stared at her for a short while, and then told her she was really little 🙈

this is brilliant 🤣

Children are true comedy. Thank you all for taking the time to share your experiences😂
