I am a dad of a 6-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter, so trust me, I know about kids embarrassing you, but this list I saw today made me feel rather fortunate!
There's embarrassing, and then there's the red-faced horror parents feel when one of their children completely mortify them in public. For more of the latter, here are several real-life stories off BuzzFeed's list of 18 embarrassing things kids have really done in front of their poor, poor parents.
- "As we returned from the restroom, my 4-year-old announced to the entire restaurant that I did a good job wiping my 'fagina.'"
- "When I was 4, I decided that the display toilets at Home Depot were real toilets. My poor mom."
- "My mom told me that when I was younger, I'd go sit with random people and start eating their bread if our table didn't have any yet."
- "My stepdaughter loudly asked in public why I wear little tiny panties (thongs) and her other mom wears big panties!"
- "When I was 3, I saw a pregnant woman and asked her, 'Did you know that your baby will fall out of your vagina?'"
- "I was pulled over for speeding. When the cop came up to my window, my 5-year-old son looked him in the eyes and sang, 'Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?'"
- "We used airline miles to upgrade our tickets to first class. After we boarded the airplane, my son yelled, 'We're first class, you're second class!' as the coach passengers went by."
