Have your kids ever dropped you right in it?

[pretty_snowdrop]

My 6 year old asked me why she had brown hair and her little sister had blonde hair. She is quite a bright little girl so I explained briefly about dna and that her great grandma had blonde hair.
When OH came home from work she told him 'I get my brown hair from you and mummy. I don't know where Eleanor gets her blonde hair from, its not you daddy it someone else mummy knows'. It is a good job he is very trusting , i hope she doesn't repeat that at school!

What is the funniest or most embarrassing comment that your kids have said?

[stokemaveric]

my sister in law was having her house renovated and her husband was working on the oil rigs..on arrival at the new school the headmaster asked the kid..''and how do you like your new town and your new house?''..to which he replied..;;well i like the area and the house is nice but it will be better when all the men stop going into my mums bedroom''...of course it was the builders who were working on the house..but my sister in law says she went every shade of red imagineable..lol..

When I was on placement in a nursery a little boy told me that his daddy "has hair on his legs...and on his winky!" Was very funny and when the teacher told the boys dad he didn't seem overly phased; apparently the little boy was always coming out with embarrassing stuff!

My God daughter, age 3, saw her first black man, an old and close school friend of my mate, standing in the doorway of their 13th house out in the Oxfordshire sticks. He filled the door, the frame reflecting the smaller build of our ancestors.

She looked him up and down and then said,

"Hello - why are you covered in chocolate?"

My own 3yr old daughter made a comment in a loud voice on seeing her first one-legged man in a small restaurant.....

Mum, Dad, "There's a man with only one leg here."

"Ssshhhh darling"

"Hard for him to play kick-all"

Don't think that he heard it but the back of the restaurant was pizzing themselves with laughter and the mental imageof that "Monty Pythonesque" scenario.

kickball......!

I remember years ago there were a load of door to door salesmen going around our street, mam was sick of answering the door to them so told me that when they rang to say that she wasnt in. Sure enough the doorbell rang and I answered the door saying "My mam told me to tell you she's not in" the man just start laughing and walked off.. I remember walking back into my mam in the sitting room and she was roaring laughing..

myself and my daughter who was 5 at the time were waiting in a take away, when a dwarf man came in and stood at the counter.
My daughter very loudly exclaimed 'mummy look at that man!' when trying to make out i hadn't heard and that she would SHUT UP she annonced even louder ' mummy the little man, look, isn't he sweet?'

A child of mine once told a bus full of people in a very clear piping voice ...
"my Mummy's got black knickers on "..

Not my kids, but one of the hazards of being a teacher is that occasionally one of your pupils will show you up in public. About 18 years ago I took a party of 12/13 year-olds to France, one of whom was a most delightful boy, always cheerful and smiling and desperately eager to please. One morning they were eager to be off, so I said that they could stroll down to the village on their own and I would meet them in the village square in 30 minutes to help them with any shopping. On arriving there I found the said boy almost in tears whilst being roundly criticised by two elderly French ladies (complete with poodles) whilst the rest stood back, not understanding a word. After a few questions I divined that the boy, in his eagerness to be friendly, had been saying Hello to everyone he met. Unfortunately he had managed to mangle the French word "Salut" with the English word "Hallo" so it came out as "Salaud" (bastard). When I explained to the two ladies they nearly wet themselves and showered the boy with sweets and money. I suppose the saying we have up North is true: Shy bairns get nowt.

my youngest saw a dwarf and said hey mummy theres a real life gnome, wonder which garden he lives in. luckily he had a sense of humour out of the mouths of babes eh!

[sherrardk]

When my eldest was a toddler I took him with me to the chemists to get some nit shampoo and he shouted out "I've got nits I have" (whilst scratching madly). Another of my children used to say in a loud-whisper "Look, there's a Chinese man (woman) - they pinch people" - still don't know what that was all about. Thanks to her dad (and his strange sense of humour) my three year old daughter has taken to calling her siblings a 'pikey' - just waiting for her to say that to a stranger.

My son aged around 6, asked my gay friend what kind of fairy he was the tooth one or the christmas one. As he had overheard somebody say "david is a fairy" oh the shame !

Not my kid but in the toilets of a restaurant once and a toddler(aged about 5 I guess) said in a very loud voice, "come back Daddy you havent washed your hands"

[TeztMethod]

I've gotten my parents from time to time XD

[sophie_1003]

Alex; that reminds me of an exchange I saw in a public toilets; a mum was washing her hands whilst her little boy was pushing the buttons on the condom machine. He eventually asked "What's this for?"
Mum- "Nothing, leave it alone"
Boy- "But what's it for?"
Mum- "Just leave it!"
Boy- "Is it air freshener?"
Mum- "Yes it's air freshener just leave it alone!"

Sophie, apparently my ex once screamed his head off in a public toilet cos his dad told him the condom machine was a chocolate machine and he was determined to have a bar :)
My sister once put a story in her 'news book' at school about us having no hot water and she decided to draw an anatomically correct picture of my dad getting into the bath. The worst of it was that he was a teacher and was well known to all the staff at our school.

when aged 3 and staying at my Grandmas in Wales, the vicar came to tea and I asked him could he sit on the grown up toilet all by himself without his mother holding his hand.

[Hopkirk]

Hey Sophie, I never knew there were condom machines in the Ladies.

You learn something new every day.

My 6 year old daughter's friend Glenda was away from school again,at the slightest sniffle Glenda's mum would have her up the doctors, when my daughter said her mummy had taken Glenda to the docs yet again I said Her mummy takes her to the doctors more times than I go to Tesco.
A few days later we met glenda & her mum in the street and I asked how Glenda was, Then my daughter piped up word for word what I had said, I felt v/embarassed and went quite 'pink' Glenda's mum said "she's probably right darlin'" & walked off.

Can't believe a teacher woould report that other incident to parents tho (out of embarrasment!)

Hopkirk, had you not realised that sometimes men do not live up to the Scout motto? It is also the Guide motto.
