Kids say the silliest things — and while mostly harmless, sometimes those things can lead to some very embarrassing situations. Recently, one redditor posed the question, "Parents on Reddit, what was the most embarrassing moment for you caused by your children?" And unsurprisingly, the site totally delivered with some hilarious answers. Here are just a few of the funniest stories of kids being jerks, and for more, check out the rest of the thread right here.
1. "My daughter's daycare had circle time every morning as a way to start
the day. Anyway we were late and walked into the middle of circle time. My daughter said, 'We're late because my mommy had diarrhea.'" —jaimmster
2. "When my sister was pregnant with my nephew, my sister kept the baby's
name a secret from my then 4-year-old niece. While babysitting my niece, I convinced her that her parents were planning to name the new
baby Homeslice. She announced her new brother's name to everyone in her daycare, random strangers at the grocery store, or anyone else who would listen. My sister still hasn't forgiven me for that one." —ajw7373
3. "Was riding on a public bus and my 5-year-old put her hand on a guy's shoulder in the seat front of us and said, 'This man is very fat.'" —error_flynne
4. "My daughter decided to strip completely naked, nappy and all, in the shop when I had my back turned for about five seconds. I only became aware when a lovely lady tapped me on my shoulder and whispered into my ear, 'Excuse me, love, your child is dancing naked beside the potatoes.'" —WeeAngryPanda
5. "When I was 5 or 6, we were at my dad's company picnic. I was introduced to his boss and I told him, 'My daddy says you're a son of a bitch.' My dad's coworkers fed me ice cream all afternoon." —agreeswithfishpal
6. "'You're a funny little man, but I like your hat.' My 4-year-old said that to a little person in the airport who was wearing a cowboy hat. I practically wanted to keep walking and leave him there, then I heard the man respond, 'Thank you. And you're a funny little man too!' He was great about it, and several of us ended up smiling instead of being mortified." —Scrappy_Larue
7. "I was waiting in A&E with my 3-year-old son after he swallowed a
thumbtack. I needed to pee and had to take him with me into the small
toilet beside the waiting room. I'm mid-stream and he shouts out in his
best voice, 'Dad, your willy is SOOOOOO big.' Everyone in the packed waiting room heard him and the rest of the wait
was pretty awkward. I nearly died of embarrassment." —IrnBruFiend
8. "Once we invited a couple from church over to our house for the first time, to watch a Bears game. At the time my son was 3 or 4, and would refer to the teams by their jersey color. Well, that day they were playing the Falcons, and the Bears were in white. A few minutes into the game, my son wanders up to me and quietly asks, 'Which one is Bears?' I told him it was the white team. To which he then shouts out, 'Yeah, we cheer for the white guys, because we don't like black guys, right, Dad?' I had to awkwardly say, 'Yes, the Falcons are wearing black, and today we do not like them because they're against the Bears.' Everyone laughed a bit, but there were some side glances." —tyzik
9. "When I was about 4, I must have had some kind of infection or itch down there, and one morning at breakfast my dad's coworker came in to pick my dad up for work. I said, 'Hi, Don, my vagina hurts!' and he politely ignored me, but I kept saying it over and over and over. 'Don, can you
hear me? My vagina hurts!' Guess I just wanted some acknowledgement, but my parents just wanted to die. The poor guy was doing his best to pay no attention to me, but I was making it pretty difficult." —dogcatsnake
10. "My daughter is 8 now, but when she was 2, I taught her to say behold
instead of look. We'd be at the store or something and she'd go to point out whatever damn thing she saw, 'Daddy, behold!'" —Donny_Do_Nothing
11. "In the toilets at a local supermarket. Mother Nature was paying her visit. My 4-year-old son came in the toilet with me ... Went running out of the toilet to announce to his grandma, and the rest of the supermarket, that 'My mummy has a piece of string hanging out of her bum.'" —cait_lol
