Before children develop their prefrontal cortex and figure out all the unspoken rules of polite society, they get a brief window of pure freedom, saying and doing whatever pops into their heads.

Great for them. Not always so great for their parents. Because while that zero filter can be hilarious, it can also lead to some painfully awkward moments.

On TikTok, Trey Colbert asked parents to spill the most mortifying things their kids have pulled off—the kind that make you want to avoid public outings forever. Their replies did not disappoint. Scroll down for the most entertaining ones… and maybe send a little sympathy to these parents. They’ve earned it.

Elderly man smiling warmly, capturing heartfelt parenting moments and embarrassing kids’ questions about skin color. Here’s a cute one 🥰: my 3 year old in the grocery store in Florida saw an old man with a white beard and white hair and grabbed him arm to say “Santa”?. The man pulled his sunglasses down and gave a wink 😜 and said he was on vacation.

    I had a student (Kindergarten ages 5/6) whose parents apparently told him that if he ate too much candy, his teeth would rot and fall out. He hadn't been in preschool or daycare before and apparently was unaware that your teeth naturally fall out. His fell out at recess and he was sobbing and kept repeating "I ate too much candy. I ate too much candy! They are going to be so mad at me!" it took a good hour to get him to calm down and reassure him that it wasn't from candy and that it was supposed to happen.

    I have kids asking me if I brushed my teeth because they are yellow, fairly often. Unfortunately both my genetics and the amount of tea I drink means they are quite yellow, no matter how much I brush. I don't trust whitening treatment because I don't want to weaken my teeth, so I guess I will endure the questions indefinitely.

    As adults we see mimicking somebody with a disability as a mocking thing, because somebody doing it at our age would be. But kids mimic a lot as part of developing their empathy. It may be that the kid in the story saw this boy and wanted to understand how it would feel to be him. It’s awkward for their parent because it feels wrong, but it probably speaks to the kid developing strong empathy skills

    My step niece likes to point at random people and shout 'YOU'RE NAUGHTY!'. She loves it especially in restaurants.

    Close-up of a man with dark skin wearing a bright pink turban and orange clothing, highlighting black skin features. When I was little my mom always told us if we lied we would grow a red dot on our forehead. We were at Costco and I pointed at a man who had a bindi and screamed at him that he was lying to his face.

    I don’t particularly like lies/explanations that demean other cultures.

    At pre-k graduation, the teacher was speaking about how everyone had grown over the year. She says the students learned how to take turns and be respectful. My daughter yells out “But not Bobby! He didn’t get better at any of those things!” I wanted to disappear.

    Pre-K graduation? That's a thing? Graduation is supposed to be special, not a normal step to the next level. High School. College. Special things. Anything else is just nonsense.

    I'm overweight and had a conversation with my kid that calling people fat isn't nice. So in line at Target and my kid looked at the larger person in front of us and very loudly said "SINCE I CAN'T SAY FAT, CAN I CALL HER CHUNKY INSTEAD?"

    Only the people who don't have kids and haven't interacted with kids a lot. All the other people in the store understand that it just means that you sometimes tell your kids "no, we don't have money for that"

    I was at school one day picking up my daughter and I was talking to a couple of parents, one of them was a rather a good looking dad, and I had a zip up hoodie on with no shirt underneath, so my daughter comes up to me and unzipped my hoodie all the way down so I was exposed 😢😢😢. In front of everyone

    Eating alone should be normalised. I have spent time in cafes etc on my own, usually reading at the table, my whole adult life. I don't care and I've never heard anyone make a negative comment about it thankfully. I don't care if they say/think it, I just don't need to hear it, because that's what makes it weird.

    In line at the grocery store and the lady in front of us (was on the heavy side) started to back up and my son asked why she didn’t beep…..he also had just learned that some large vehicles beep when they go in reverse. She 100% heard him.

    I was picking up my little brother from daycare when he was 4ish. He was pointing to who his favorite daycare teacher was and she came over to say hi. I introduced myself and then lil bro said “this is my teacher that’s round like a basketball” 🙃💀🥲 I literally froze and had no idea what to say or do other than apologize. She thankfully laughed it off and said “kids say the funniest things!”. You best believe I had a full on talk with him about that.
