A question... If we are expected to accept freedom of choice, should religion not be inclusive? There are a lot of people who find solace and structure in their beliefs, without it influencing other. What do we need to find harm in that? Obviously I am not talking about cults and extreme fanatics.

Thank you for saying this. I can't agree more. These days we are all expected to accept so many things, even if they make no sense to us. But the people expecting to be embraced for these differences are also not willing to embrace what they don't understand and condemn us for embracing our own truths. Again, thank you for being able to verbalize this.

My ex took my son, 6, to 7pm mass. On Easter Saturday. With the whole "stations of the cross" procession. Then was dumbfounded that he never wanted to go back again.

My daughter, who was forced to go to Church by a very religious catholic family member, spat the cracker out and made a disgusted noise. I will always wonder what that relative was thinking. You cannot just receive communion in catholicism. I am an atheist and I know that. Yet, even the priest, who got really mad, didn't seem to have registered that my daughter was 5 and she couldn't possibly have gone through catechism and all that jazz. My religious relatives did a much better job I ever could do to turn my daughter against religion.

Very different experience to my church the first time I took my best friend there on a communion day. She refused to take it, because she wasn't a confirmed member of the church (which is the requirement where she went) and I was confused because everyone is welcome to take it if they want.

Not my anecdote, but too good to not share. Mom (whispering): "Thomas! Get your hand out of your pants!" 7-year-old Thomas (also whispering): "Nooo!" Mom (whispering louder): "Thomas! NOW!" Thomas (also whispering louder): "Mooom, noooo!" Mom (shout-whispering): "Thomas! We. Are. In. CHURCH!" Thomas (at full volume): "Mom! I'm TRYING to make my penis hard!"

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did I had just gone to the bathroom after a big pork chop dinner at a nice restaurant. The stench was heavy on the air, but there was nothing I could do about it. The pork chops had cleared out the pipes. As I came out of the stall, a father and his young son came in and the kid shouts, “Holy cow! What the hell died in here? It stinks!” Then he makes eye contact with me in the mirror as I’m washing my hands, points, and goes “Was that YOU? Yuck!!!” I’m not easily embarrassed, and I laughed, but I have to admit, this kid had nailed me to the wall, and I *was* a little embarrassed. His dad seemed to notice that, and goes, without missing a beat, “Yeah, well Josh. When you take a c**p it doesn’t exactly smell like flowers either.“ Wherever that guy is, I salute you. Dads of the world unite.

    Once in Disneyland, I could hear a father in the next stall talking his small child through the process ("Do you need to go a little more? Okay, now let's wipe you up"). Suddenly, father's voice gets more frantic, almost yelling "No! No! Don't touch that with your penis!". So I agree, fathers of the world, you're kind of amazing what you face...and, good luck

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did My 3 year old was singing about dinosaurs loudly at the grocery store and I told her I loved her singing, but asked her to please use her inside voice. She randomly came out with "Im sorry mommy! Please dont lock me in the closet!" And a whole bunch of people turned to look at me. I've never once locked her in a closet! Theres no room in our closet even if I wanted to!

    I took my 8 year old daughter to a little shop in town that was a reconverted old house. Lots of cool things there. Except for a few employees and a couple of other shoppers, it was pretty empty. Daughter had to use the bathroom and an employee explained that it was in the women's clothing/jewelry area. While waiting I was looking at earrings on a turning display. Found a pretty pair and was holding them. Daughter came out of the bathroom, sees me and yells "Oh my GOSH, are you STEALING those????". I have never shoplifted or stolen anything. I was mortified but didn't want to leave for fear they'd think I was in fact stealing something. The handful of people there kept staring at me and an employee discretely followed me around the store after that. I wound up buying the earrings and something else just to look legit. I have never forgotten the embarrassment and now, as an adult, she thinks it's absolutely hilarious. She really did think I was stealing the earrings.

    Kid in the late '60's here. Back when people smoked everywhere and dads didn't usually grocery shop. Dad and his adorable 5 yo daughter are cruising the grocery store, him smoking, and he says, jokingly, hold out your hand. Dad was quite the dark comedian. I collapsed to the floor crying "No daddy, please don't burn me again". Emphasis on again. Child protection services was not called but my Dad learned I was as quick witted and mean spirited as he was

    To gain more insight on this topic, we reached out to mom, author and founder of the popular parenting website Lemon Lime Adventures, Dayna Abraham. Dayna was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda, jokingly noting that it might be easier to count how often her kids don't embarrass her, rather than how often they do.

    "I remember when my oldest (now 18) was three, we were in Bed Bath & Beyond, and he didn't know what something was," Dayna shared. "So at the top of this lungs he shouted, 'What the f*ck!' Because earlier in the week when I heard him say this when he stepped in water, I had said, 'Oh, I think you mean: What's this? What's happened?'"

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did We were at my daughters choir performance, sitting dead center in the front row. Right before the performance starts, as the entire room is dead silent and the choir director is lifting her arms, my seven year old rips the LOUDEST fart. Without missing a beat, he yells “Mom! Why did you fart?”. I wanted to melt into the gym floor. All I could do was stare forward with my cheeks on fire.

    Nope. That’s when Mom goes right back into kid mode and loudly says, “Nuh-uh. The one who smelt it dealt it!” That’ll lay the blame where it belongs, and shut the little s**t up if they think about saying something like that again.

    One time in church my wife had fed our 3 month old daughter a bottle and was patting her gently on her back during a moment of deathly silent meditation... it was that moment little Yvette demonstrated a new skill and released the loudest belch I have EVER heard from an infant. Of course the accoustics of the church really helped to exaggerate its sound... all eyes turned to me sitting on the other end of the pew, I could only reply "what... it was the kid... " and thankfully just as I said that she let another one rip... After mass on the way out of church we stopped to say hello to the priest and without missing a beat father Conway looks at me and says "I can see where she gets her talents from"

    My nephew was 5 and a ring bearer at a wedding. Let a giant one rip in the middle of the ceremony... something that small should not have been able to produce something that loud. The ground shook. He politely said "That was me. Excuse me." And the ceremony went on.

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did When my daughter was 2, we went on a long flight. At one point, a flight attendant was near, and my daughter looked up and said, "Piece of a*s!" The flight attendant gave me (father) the worst look! Like, I think she assumed that my daughter was repeating something that she had heard me say. What I knew, however, was that my daughter had a bit of a funny accent when pronouncing certain words, and I explained to the flight attendant, "She would like a piece of *ice*. Ice." I don't think she believed me, but she put some ice in a cup and handed it to my daughter who happily looked at it and said, "A*s! A*s!" At that, the flight attendant stated laughing and forgave me.

    My daughter’s first word was sh*t. I was watching a football game and my team missed a field goal and not thinking, I said, “Sh*t!” My daughter repeated it. I was so happy she said her first word but bummed by what it was. I didn’t say anything to her father who I was married to at the time. He would swear a lot more than I did. I started watching what I said after that. As soon as he said the word and she repeated it, I looked at him and I said, “Look what you are teaching your daughter!” 😂 To this day he thinks he helped teach our daughter her first word. My daughter thinks it’s funny now that I told her that story.

    One time I was in a changing room at a women’s clothing store with my then-two-year-old, trying on a new top. It was the type of fitting room with a curtain across the entrance that you just pull closed when you’re inside. Well, my toddler apparently got bored with watching me try on clothes, so he ripped open the curtain and ran off at top speed into the (fairly busy) store. I did not have time to think - he has always been super active and he could really move when the mood struck him, so my reflexes were to get to him and grab him as quickly as possible. So, half-naked wearing just my bra (which was not by any means a nice bra), pale and flabby because it was the winter months, I ran after him out of the changing room and across the store, loudly shouting his name (which caused all the shoppers in the immediate vicinity to turn and look). He was actually halfway out the door and into the shopping centre by the time I was able to catch him, and then I had to scuttle awkwardly back to the fitting rooms, bright red, embarrassed to within an inch of my life. Obviously, he thought - and still thinks to this day when I tell him this story - it was hilarious.

    "While these moments are funny to look back on, there have been many moments raising an autistic child that I have felt embarrassed in public for not so funny things," Dayna added. "For example, one time my child was melting down in the parking lot of Starbucks and screaming at me while cars just drove by and stared."

    But she gives kids the benefit of the doubt, noting that they're probably not intentionally embarrassing their parents. "Instead, I think that parents have expectations, and society has placed so many expectations on [us] that parents take their children's behaviors personally," Dayna explained. "Children (especially young children) aren't self aware and aren't aware of social 'normalcies' yet, so what they think is normal can be very embarrassing or humiliating for parents."

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did Recently we were walking into the store right before a snowstorm, and naturally there were people hoarding cases of water into their car like it was about to be the apocalypse. My son (8, and loves math) looked at them as we were walking by and was LOUDLY asking why they needed so much water. I laughed it off, but this kid did the math of how many bottles were in each pack and how many cases they loaded into their car and was like “what are they going to do with 210 bottles of water at one time? they really couldn’t leave any for other people?” He’s not wrong but shut up 😂

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did We were in the pet food aisle of a grocery store and talking about how our dog was very old when he died and how our cat was quite old and we weren’t sure how much longer he would have to live. This older woman was sharing the aisle with us and my 4yo son turns to point at her and says “so this lady…” and I had to scoop him up very quickly before he could finish his sentence.

When we met a gentleman with dwarfism in the supermarket I saw that 'click' in his eyes. He was 4 yo. Before I could grab him he had positioned himself next to the person. After careful consideration he yelled loudly back to me: I don't like short people! I could have died. Luckily the person was very gracious and we had a serious talk at home!

    We were also curious if Dayna believes her kids will always find ways to embarrass her. "I definitely think that there are always opportunities for kids to embarrass their parents. And as they hit teen and young adult years, they find it more fun to poke fun at their parents," she told Bored Panda. "If parents and kids create a strong bond, the joking and silliness can be a fun source of connection as their relationship grows."

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and my 6 year old told a cashier: "My mom looks fat when she's naked, but when she's wearing clothes she looks pregnant" This was literally out of nowhere and unprompted. She's not wrong, so I just thanked her for sharing.

    Well that’s a great time to explain how there are other cultures in the world, and that the woman was wearing clothing that was normal in her culture (even though, from a feminist standpoint, it greatly needs me). Always good to reach kids that not everyone lives and dresses and eats just like we do. The least racist people are those who have had known and had experience with a variety of people from a variety of cultures. They understand that, even though we’re all a lot more alike than different, we do have some differences, and the majority of those differences are no biggie. You can leave it at that of the kid is really young. No need to go into the differences that tend to cause war with a small child.

    I know three women who wear full niqab here in Canada, They get quite used to comments. If it's kids, they usually find them funny, and they've all heard ninja. The one woman's husband urged her to take martial arts classes because he thought it would be cool to be married to a ninja. In my ignorance, I'd assumed the husbands would be very mean and controlling, but all three are nice; all three say it's their wives' choice how much to cover, and I feel like a tool for making assumptions.

    Dayna also says it's important for parents to take embarrassment with laughter when it comes to light-hearted mistakes. "If there are extremely challenging behaviors that are embarrassing, I want parents to know this doesn't mean your child is 'bad' or you are failing as a parent," the expert shared.

    "Allow yourself to remove the judgement from others and focus on the relationship between you and your child," Dayna continued. "You can learn more about how to release the pressure of onlookers in my book, Calm the Chaos: A Failproof Roadmap to Parenting Even the Most Challenging Kids."

    My son was around 4 and we’re at the doctors office. A little person came in and my son says in full ear shot, “That man makes me uncomfortable.” No where to go, I tell him all people are different. Some are small and some tall and in between. Maybe your bright red hair makes him feel uncomfortable. Maybe not the right thing to say, but I felt he should be aware of what he says aloud and how it feels to be shamed about your looks by others.

    Honest answers are the best; anything else tells the child there's something to be ashamed of. Not many people will take offense at a 3-year-old's question, and those that do are dealing with their own stuff, not your kid's.

    We were proud that our daughter knew her home phone number when she was 3. When she was about 5 she had a habit of walking up to random gorgeous women & telling them her daddy's phone number. I had to ask her why she did that when daddy has mommy. Mommy is mommy. Daddys need someone to have fun with. We have no idea where she got that idea. Tears later I asked for clarification. Fun like bicycling, hiking, snorkeling, etc. Since parenthood, daddy does not have that kind of fun anymore.

    We used to live on a Navy base and my daughter’s father would sometimes be out to sea. It didn’t matter if her father was home or away, when she was a toddler, every guy wearing the Navy work blues, she would run up and yell, “Dadda!” One day she did it in McDonald’s and this poor guy’s girlfriend/wife started to get angry and demanded an explanation. I came running up and started apologizing and told them everyone is Dadda if you’re wearing work blues. I felt so bad for the poor guy. She started apologizing to him and I left them so I don’t know how it ended.

    I was walking my 2 year old with the stroller and an elderly man was walking toward us. He had a white beard. A large belly. And happened to be wearing a bright red shirt. Can you guess what happened next? 2 year old, yelling at the top or his lungs and frantically pointing at the man: - SANTA CLAUS! Mommy look that's Santa Claus! Look mommy, look there he is! We're still some distance away from this poor man, so I think there's a chance he didn't hear us and I cross to the other side of the street to avoid him hearing us. I try to calm the kid down but he's too excited to even hear me. 2 year old yells louder: - Mommy, that's Santa Claus!!! PRESEEEEENTS! WHERE ARE MY PRESENTS!?! We were on the other side of the street but I'm pretty sure he heard and he definitely saw my kid pointing at him and jumping up and down in his stroller. He did not seem to find it cute though. Although, to be fair, you can't look like Santa and dress like Santa and not expect toddlers to lose their s**t lol.

    My dad is huge, with a belly and a long white beard. Dresses in jeans, a lot of black. Looks like a biker. Many adults find him kind of scary because he's so big and can look fierce. But kids crawl right up to him, right on him, even if he's not wearing his Santa suit. He just plays along. Sometimes the scariest looking men are giant teddy bears underneath.

    My best friend Dana and her Mom had custody of my besties niece Sarah when we were teenagers. Well Sarah spent a lot of time with Dana in her room including when she was listening to music. In 1994 we were 17 and walking through Albertsons shopping with Dana's Mom when Sarah decided to start singing at the top of her lungs. Unfortunately, it was Nine Inch Nails "Closer" and started yelling 'I want to f**k you like an animal!" I thought her Mom was going to murder both of us, right then and there! We hustled Sarah outside to the car and the looks we got from other shoppers, especially since we live in the freaking bible belt, you would have thought we murdered Jesus.

    When I was a teenager, my oldest sister got divorced. My 2 nephews (2 and 4) stayed with our parents on the farm till my sister could get her now ex husband moved out. While at the farm, grandpa taught the boys the finer things of living on a farm. Fast-forward to the day when the boys came home. We were playing in the backyard, which was close to a busy street in the city. While my younger sister watched the kids, I went in the house to help my dad move a sofa. We heard ALL kinds of car horns. Fearing the worst we ran outside. Here is my 2 year old nephew peeing on the side of the house in full view of a busy street.

    My daughter ( about 3 at the time ) used to help me put groceries on the checkout counter. When we got to the cashier she would introduce herself ( full name ) state her age and the fact that "all the groceries had to pass by you ( the cashier ) because otherwise that would be stealing and that her cookies needed to be scanned and paid for before she got one." Every.Single.Time. Luckily the cashier thought it was cute and probably was glad that she wasn't one of those "screaming bloody murder" kids because they had to wait to get their cookie/candybar .

    Not my kid, but my brother. It was Christmas Eve mass and he was about 3 or 4. Brother snuck out of his seat, laid down on the priest's feet, and loudly sobbed "We go home now?!". I have never seen my mom so red. The priest just laughed it off and said that was his cue to stop talking.

    When I was younger, it wasn't me but another younger child in my parents church started crying and the parents were getting dirty looks from some of the old biddies. Well the pastor at the time noticed and say, "let the child cry it means the church family is growing and that's a good thing"

    I like how the pastor publicly called out the judgmental attitudes. Being a parent is hard enough. Parents need support, not criticism.

    My bratty great niece loudly announced in the middle of mass "God is Dead". The priest stopped the sermon & asked her why she said that. My grandma just died & went to Heaven. God is in Heaven. He must be dead too. Child logic.

    One of my colleagues' son loudly pointed out that his dad had a large p**s in a pool dressing room. Poor guy turned lobster-red when he told me ( we were laughing about all the embarrassing stuff our kids said ) I didn't know what to answer at first ( I stuttered that I had no clue about size- embarrassing myself in the process ) and then finally managed "well, in his perspective it must seem large , especially by comparison".... Then face-palmed myself in thought. He and I get along really well and Luckily in the meantime there are no taboos between us now, but that was the first time was kind of awkward . lol.

    My child (about 18 months at the time), yelled "mommy has a hair butt!" when I was running around naked. Thankfully we were home at the time. On a separate note, 8 years later, I got called into the bathroom, with my child yelling, "mommy, I have hair on my crotch!". At least she learned something, over the years. lol

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did After my daughter was potty trained, she liked the freedom of not having a diaper. One day, our daycare teacher called to see when I was coming to pick up my daughter because she was going to stay past her shift to talk to me about something. Naturally, I worried until I arrived at daycare. Earlier in the day, my sweet cherub had grabbed herself (Michael Jackson style) and said, 'I have a ‘gina' then pointed directly to her teacher’s crotch and said, 'And you do too.' She then went around informing the other teachers that they too had 'a ‘gina.' Everyone had a good laugh that day. I was embarrassed but just shrugged and said, 'Well, she’s not wrong.'

    When I worked daycare, Andy and Prissy were best friends. Despite her name, Prissy wasn't, and her mom was very down to earth. Andy's dad was very private. When the kids were nearly three, Prissy informed Andy's dad that he had a peenis like Andy, and she had a bagina. The dad's discomfort was palpable.

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did An older woman wearing a big, black, cloak-looking jacket with a visible wart on her nose said hi to my daughter at the grocery store when she was almost 3. Daughter glared at her and immediately yelled "go away you're a witch!" She used to be obsessed with Snow White and honestly this lady did kinda look like the witch in that movie lol. As soon as I saw her I knew what my daughter would be thinking I was just praying she wouldn't say it. The lady was actually pretty nice about it but I was so embarrassed lol.

    I was going to the theatre cafe, there was a special matinee for children. I was wearing purple stripy tights, purple boots and dress and a purple witchy hat (because I can). As I was getting my wheelchair out of the car I hear "That's a witchy hat" His mum replies "No, it's a fairy hat" I say that he's right, it's a witchy hat. Then I encounter a shy girl that wants to see the soot sprites and other small creature on the hat. Finally I pass a whole class pointing to me and shouting "It's a witch!". The teachers were blushing and shushing them. I did a 360 with my chair saying "Yes, yes, I am a witch" Then I stuck out my tongue at the adults and went on my way.

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did We were in a health and beauty shop. Not too many customers and talking about our holidays as we were shopping for sun tan lotion when my 5 year old pipes up with, ‘remember when you closed the pool at the hotel because you pooped in the pool’ a lady turned and started giggling. I was mortified. The truth - someone did poop in the pool and the pool had to be shut for the day to clean it but I didn’t do it, see it or have anything to do with it. I didn’t even enter the pool that day 🙈

    When we met with our realtor for the first time, my 5 year old was sitting on top of a large plastic storage bin while we talked. This kid has clearly been feral during COVID and has not been around anyone but family. In the middle of our visit, the kid let out an impressively lengthy fart that was made even louder by the plastic he was sitting on. Thank goodness the realtor just laughed and high fived him. We are socializing him more now 😊

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did My son went through a very long phase of trying to put his finger in belly buttons when he was a toddler. If he was near me, he was reaching for my belly button. So annoying. Anyway, kiddo was 2 1/2 or so and I was really sick and had no one to watch my son, so I took him to urgent care with me. There was a very large man in a very small t-shirt, that prominently showed of his massive black hole of a belly button. I didn't notice the man or his belly button at first, but kiddo sure did. I'm signing into the doctor, and kiddo is struggling to be put down. I put him down and he makes a bee line for this guy with his little finger pointing at the object of his obsession. Kiddo get's to this guy, pulls the t-shirt up, and plunges is whole tiny fist into this massive, hairy belly button. The guy was super nice about it. Wasn't even offended when I took kiddo to the rest room to wash his hand really well. Then the three of us spent an eternity in that waiting room. Kiddo was angry he couldn't fondle the strangers button, the guy was not comfortable at all about any of it, and I just wanted to sink into the floor.

We were at the airport waiting for our flight and she pulled my shirt up putting her finger in my belly button, then her dad’s bellybutton, and then she just went on to the man sitting next to us and pulled up his shirt as well.

Everyone treated us like it was the plague except for one dad who was sympathetic and said "God it's hell when they get sick like that." like what was I supposed to do, snobby mothers? Pick her up and charge out of the store as she threw up all over the ground? Have some compassion. This story just reminded me of that since it was during covid. She was fine just too much excitement from a birthday party and not a lot of sleep from excitement the night before. Used to happen a lot

    You know, even in wartime, your house can still burn down from faulty wiring or some other non-war related reason. So too, even during the pandemic, not every sniffle—-or bout of nausea—-meant you had COVID. People still caught colds, had the non-COVID flu, and ate stuff that didn’t agree with them. I have had chronic sinus issues since my early twenties (I’m 62 now). I can’t tell you how many people looked at me weird when I sniffled, or once in a while sneezed, under my mask, during lockdown. If I was in the mood (sinus issues often bring on thumping sinus headaches, which means sometimes I wasn’t), I would explain that it was my sinuses, and that I had suffered the same long before COVID, and would continue to suffer after it. Unless I end up having surgery for a deviated septum, and that’s not happening anytime soon.

Their parents just let them go look as they wanted, so they wouldn't fear death. There was a lot of whispering "Did you touch him? No, you touch him! I already did! You think he's wearing underwear? Can we open his eyes?" Just the weirdest stuff. Then my two-year-old cousin laid herself out on the kneeling bench in the same pose as Pops was in. Her mother scooped her up fast.

    After going to the bathroom with me in the grocery store, randomly out of the blue my 4 year old daughter shouts “mommy you pooped in the store!” She wasn’t wrong.. but not everyone needed to know.

    When my nephew was about 4 he was in the car with me, my husband and my mum and he very innocently goes “is head and d**k a naughty word?” I’m shocked so I go “excuse me?” He repeats the questions. I tell him that yes it is a naughty word and he shouldn’t really say it but ask where he heard it. He goes “I heard mummy say ‘Alex you’re a d******d’” (Alex is his dad). Very funny.

    My youngest was about 7 and helping her dad clean his pop vinyl figures she picked one up and asked "Where does this k**b-head go?" we sort of froze like "What?" She thought it meant the same as bobble-head

    Although i never drank to any excess I still always felt a little funny if I picked up liquor while my kids were with me so I used to just casually say it was "cleaning liquid". It backfired when at a store my son recognized the bottle in another patrons hand and yelled "my mom uses that to get clean after she locks us away". Translation: after I put them to bed.

    My 1.5 year old son is the whitest baby I've ever seen. But every time he sees very tall Black men, he points to them and shouts, "Dada!!!"

    My oldest was 4 or 5 at the time. We were in a big grocery store being checked out and the cashier had a bunch of dark colored spots all over her face. Like freckles, but darker. They may have even been little moles, I don’t know. My dear child asked her what happened to her face. The lady was a good sport and told my daughter she was just born like that, but you could tell she was self conscious about it. I wanted to sink into the floor.

    "They're called "Beauty marks". She was born with them, and they're beautiful." Frame differences possitively for little kids. I'm a wheelchair user, and I get the occasional kid-comment. My go to is "I don't walk well, and fall down a lot, and I use my wheels so I can go faster. I'm okay, and it's okay that I use a wheelchair. It's good not to ask other people about their bodies or their wheels or canes and stuff, because sometimes pointing out how they're different can make people feel bad. Instead, if you want to talk to them, you can just say hi, or say what your name is, and ask their name."

    my mom had Pityriasis rosea, She had one huge spot on both cheeks, so it looked like she's always heavily blushing, and her arms had a huge one on her forearms, when she got older, the spots broke u pa bti and they became more like huge dots, Also on a side note I have Geographic tongue, so my tone sometimes is bright red and shiny or its got swirling white spirals on it, thankfully its not too bad {go look up Geographic tongue its actually pretty in some people}

    I used to work selling skincare/bath stuff etc. had a customer once asking about if we had anything that could fade the pigmentation she had. she had these light brown areas sort of at the corner of each eye and slightly behind the cheekbone, with paler spots in them. I explained that we didn't really have any products that would have much of an impact, but then I pointed out that I thought they were quite pretty, and reminded me of a little fawn. her face absolutely lit up and she looked like she was going to cry. it floored her that anyone would see what she saw as a flaw as a unique and pretty feature. I often think about that, and hope that on days when she feels self conscious about them, maybe she remembers my comment, and it makes her feel more confident

    My daughter asked a woman why she had blue lips. I wanted to die. The lady said to her, "why do you have pink lips?" And then my daughter told her she wants blue lips like hers and can she touch them. She was only 3. The lady was super nice and actually let my daughter touch her face. I was so mortified I didn't know what to say.

    I’ve had a few. I was at the zoo with my daughter when she was 4 a couple of years ago. It was very busy. She proudly said very loudly ‘my mum has bum-worms’. I wanted the ground to swallow me up. She picked it up from watching bluey. On the same visit we were sharing some food and out of nowhere she says ‘oi you f****r get your own’ 😂😂

    My 6 year old daughter and I were outdoor dining. I’m pregnant, so she points out anyone with a big belly. An obviously pregnant woman walked past and my daughter yells “LOOK MOMMY! She has a big belly too!” I say, “Yes, Maybe she’s having a baby!!!” I’m fully intending to talk about not yelling something like that, and the various reasons for big bellies, when she points to an older (50’s or 60’s) woman on the larger weight size and again says “She’s got a big belly too! Is she having a baby?” 😬🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did My 3 year old saw a lady throw a lottery ticket on the ground when we were walking past and yelled at her “yourrr disgusting, pick it up.” while rolling her eyes 🤦🏼‍♀️ also told my brother in law his new baby (her cousin) “looks weird” but thats okay maybe she’ll look better when shes a grown up. (Because my husband showed her a picture of her when she was like a hour old with a cone head and she asked what was wrong with it and we explained it happens it’ll go away later) but nothing like having a 3 year old tell you your first child isnt cute. Still think hes a little pissy about it.

    My oldest used to point at people and shout "WHAT IS THAT!!" "Son, that's just another human, please don't point it's rude" Rinse and repeat through the entire store. And bonus he'd wait until they were RIGHT next to us, so there was no mistaking he was pointing directly at them.

    My husband was away in India for a business trip for 3 weeks. I brought my 5 year old daughter to ballet practice and my 2 year old son and I were waiting in the lobby for it to be over, when suddenly he points at another man also waiting and says (very loudly) “Is that my Daddy?” I was mortified and also trying hard not to laugh. I think I told him that he knew that wasn’t his Daddy. Then he sees another man and says the same thing. He KNEW it was funny! Everyone was looking at us like he had no Idea who his dad was!

    “I Wanted The Ground To Swallow Me”: 35 Hilariously Embarrassing Things Kids Did When my son was around 5-6, I told him while grocery shopping that we were visiting my MIL for Thanksgiving that year because I couldn’t afford the time to cook a lot of food at once (I was finishing a college degree + working). As we were leaving, I stopped to grab a drink at a serving counter and he proceeded to tell the barista that “We’re going to my Nana’s for Thanksgiving because my mom can’t afford to cook dinner now!” I didn’t shop there again for at least a month. Absolutely mortified.

    My oldest used to ask in PUBLIC quite loudly if we were going to eat dinner that day. Like we often skipped meals. Didn’t help that she was a twig. My 2nd child didn’t want to behave at the doctors office waiting area for her vaccines and I had to literally run around the waiting room chasing her while she screamed. No one helped. They all watched and snickered

    If the parent immediately shouts “but ripped!” it can ameliorate the damage.
