That is hilarious but unfortunately the laughing makes them keep doing it. So Sheila who did he learn those bad words from? Me - And in his defense there was an unusually high volume of traffic that day. You need a license to drive a car but they will let any idiot dumb enough to forget to take a little pill every day have a kid. He has turned out ok so far. Still has a bit of a potty mouth on him though.

Kids swearing- DS was about 4 when he was sitting in his carseat in my parents car and he asked my dad "what the fuck is the deal with all this damn traffic?" My dad laughed so hard he had to pull over, my mother was not impressed. That is great! My oldest used to say that she didn't want to learn how to drive because she didn't want to say bad words.

I was about 5 when I argued with my Mom that drat was ok because Snoopy said it. She didn't really have an answer for that...

We didn't see black people until we were older. My older brother saw one at my aunt's house, walking past. We didn't have TV then so didn't know they existed and he was too young to know all the colors yet. He was excited and told mom there was a green boy in the alley. When he was in second grade there was one in his class and he brought him home to play on the first day of school so that was probably the first I saw. The first in my class was in 7th grade and my fifth grade teacher was black. Our high school had 5 black kids out of a thousand so it was still pretty rare. We belonged to a club with several black teens we were friends with, so we knew quite a few for how few lived near us.

Most embarrassing thing your kid has ever done? Incorrectly spelling crustacean at the spelling bee this year. I was mortified. Made her walk home and beat her when she got there. Seriously though, I'm sitting here wracking my brain and can't really think of any embarrassing stories. Maybe we're the ones who embarrass them...

This wasn't my kid, but I was a chaperone for my son's pre-school/kindergarten class when they went to the fire station. The little boy in my group was a wild one, so I only had two kids (my son and this kid) while the rest of the parents had about 5 kids.
The fireman was explaining how they live there while they're on shift, and how fast they have to be able to move out, so they learn to dress/undress fast. The little boy said "like this?" and had his pants around his ankles. He was able to get the belt undone and pants down before he finished talking and I could "catch" him.

The kids were talking about tattoos and which ones they wanted when they got older. I told my niece that she should get an M on each butt cheek so it would say mom. In her Little Miss Know It All voice she uses all the time, so goes "Oh yeeeeaaahh. Where am I gonna put the O?" My mom about died laughing. My sister was not impressed. No wonder the kids don't like me.

The worst I can think of is when I was using a public restroom & had DS with me - he was 3. It was crowded & he was very loudly asking me if I was going pee-pee or poo-poo & then asking me if I needed to wipe my butt. I then was trying to get him to be quiet & so he continued louder "Why? I'm just trying to ask if you are going pee-pee or poo-poo. Why do I need to be quiet?"
Just a few weeks ago I was at a store I was at the registar & realized I didn't have the CC I wanted with me & said "oh shoot", DS repeated after me only very loudly & modifying what I said to "oh shit".
It isn't a huge problem yet because DD is only 21 months old, but she enjoys showing random people her belly by lifting her shirt all the way up. It is sort of cute, but I'm trying to break her of the habit before it becomes embarrassing.

Wait until they start sounding out words like tampons. Out loud, in the ladies restroom while you are stuck on the toilet seat!

I had a kid that I worked with at church who was about 13. When the incense came out (1x a year) he proclaimed loudly "P-U this stuff stinks!!" I just about died laughing.
My poor parents realized that I had no shame at an early age. There are a LOT of stories about me embarassing them. ;D ;D ;D

Irish men have some of the foulest mouths you will ever come across. My husband is no exception. One of his favorites is "ah, fuck" (said the same way we would say "oh shit.") Well, one day my 2-ish year-old son (in a stroller) and I are in the supermarket cruising past the (extremely crowded) checkout lanes. All of a sudden my son starts shouting "AH, FUCK, AH FUCK"! I, of course, am absolutely mortified and try to cover by loudly saying to him "Nooooooo, honey, it's "A TRUCK, A TRUCK." He responded by repeatedly shouting "AH FUCK! AH FUCK!"
Went home and gave DH a stern talking to after that.

I had a friend who insisted on teaching her kids correct names for body parts. So when her son was about 5, he was at the store and said to the clerk. "I have a big penis. Do you want to see it?"

When my son was about 5 or 6, he was sitting in church during the sermon and started making shadows with his fingers. I really didn't expect him to pay attention, so I was ok with it. Well he began to experiment more and then decided it was really cool shadow when he made the sign of "shooting a bird" so he raised his finger up where everyone could see. When I told him to stop, he didn't realize there was anything wrong with it! So after church I had to explain to him why that is a bad sign.

So far the swearing stories are my favorite.

BIL (13 now, was about 5 at the time) went up to a random person in the grocery store: "Excuse me, ma'am, are you a stranger??" The lady replied that she probably was because she didn't know him, to which he loudly yelled "OH NOOOOOO!!! I'm not supposed to talk to you!!!!" and ran away. My poor MIL about died from embarrassment.
As for DD, she does not talk yet. But the other day we were out & she apparently was hungry. She just pulled down my shirt in the middle of the store & started smacking at the boobs. Yay....

Sam your MIL should have been pleased, your BIL knew not to talk to strangers. Gwen's too little to really have done naything to embarass me yet. My brother used to streak around the house naked as soon as my parents would leave for their date night. A favorite pass time was to stand in the window and dance around. If they neighbors hadn't had a covered driveway they would have gotten quite an eyefull. My parents never believed me because he would be back in his clothes before they pulled in the driveway. Never did figure out where he hid the radar that told him they were coming.

Two occasions pop up immediately....one son (at about age 6) was asking us all what are full names were. Grampa responded with my name is ______Richard. He asks, why are you called "Dick" then? We explained it was a short version of Richard. He then thought a moment..said, my middle name is Richard, could I be called "Dick" too if I wanted? We said, of course. He then turned to his Dad and asked..so...are you a Dick too? Stunned silence, then complete collapse to laughter...(in a small voice, I said -- yea, sometimes ). Second...my two boys were about 6 and 7, were using some foul language while calling names-mostly in fun, as they did not at the time know what they were saying...told them those were NOT NICE and to think of something else, that wasn't a bad word, to call them. This is what my angels came up with (Hope it comes through alright): peniswrinkle! I had to turn around quick as my eyes were watering from my efforts not to bust out laughing... Ah, boys, gotta love em!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I have never understood a guy WANTING to be called Dick. How did that come about as shorthand for Richard anyway?!?!

I asked my dad on the way home from daycare if he was a woman trapped in a man's body. When we got home he asked my mom what the heck she was letting me watch on TV. Turns out I was watching Donahue and he'd done a show on transexuals. My mom made sure to pay closer attention to what I was watching on TV.

My great nephew asked his mother if she was a lesbian. She said it is lesbian and I am not why do you ask? He had seen her on the floor playing with his baby sister, tickling and having fun with her.
