My Gracie had been learning a memory in Sunday School "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Wanting to support this at home, I found ways to incorporate the verse into our everyday happenings. To my surprise, she quoted the verse to her advantage after a few days. Visiting my friends, we were in the play room when Grace discovered a princess umbrella she wanted to open. "No, Grace. You can't open that inside. It's for outside." To which she replied,"I can do all things through Christ who says I can." I think amid the stifled belly laughs I managed to get out a "Then because I said so."

When my kids were 2 and a baby I went to brush my teeth one night. I was so tired and just grabed what I thought was the tube of toothpaste. NOT. Turns out it was the tube of Desitin!

When I brought my son home from the hospital, they gave me a card about his circumcision "ring". Well, I kept waiting for it to fall off and got really worried. Anyway when I took him to the doctor for his first check-up, he told me they hadn't used this particular procedure so I was going crazy for nothing. It wasn't funny then but it is now.

Shannon said...

Although embarrassing, when my little girl said quite loudly, mommy I have to go NOW in the store.

Marcia said...

I think the only embarassing moment so far (my daughter is only 17 months old) was at the grocery store a few weeks ago. We were just going through and then she just starts saying "mommy! mommy! mommy! mommy!" I tell her to calm down and ask her what's wrong just as we round the corner and almost run into one of my coworkers (they happen to be all older males so me being the youngest AND female, I try to be extra professional at work), she yells as loud as she can "I FARTED!" Her daddy taught her to say that. Ughh how embarassing! Thankfully, he just laughed and said "hello".

Tara said...

well.. it's funny NOW but at the time it stunk...literally! I was in my laundry room putting a load in and my potty-training son took off his diaper (filled with poo) and stepped in it. Then picked the poo up. Then tracked the poo all the way down my hallway, down the stairs and come to the door of the laundry room and said "Mommy, I pooped". I wept. And called my husband. And nearly had a nervous breakdown. It was really gross!

Aaah...everyday is an adventure at my house!!!! One of the funniest events was when my 4 year daughter dumped an entire bottle of baby powder over my one year old daughter. She looked like a ghost!!!

Ok, true story. I need more lotion as my daughter recently caked my lotion all over her face, hair and hands. Of course, I stopped to take a picture of her before I got her into the tub to wash up. Now she's finally learned to leave Mommy's lotion alone!

USMCWife said...

My husband and I got married when my older daughter was almost two years old. She was the flower girl in our wedding. Well, I had a military wedding, complete with the Arch of Swords, and everything. My plan was, if she was in a room filled with a bunch of people she didn't know, she'd go straight down the aisle, and to Daddy, standing at the front, right? Yeah, I sort of forgot to consider the one tiny detail that, to a two year old, every man dressed in Dress Blues, when that is what Daddy is wearing, looks alike. She steps into the Arch, and stops, looks to the right, then to the left, decides that neither of them is Daddy, and goes to the next pair, and does the same thing. She does this down the entire Arch! LOL Despite the fact that her Daddy was standing at the front, calling her name, and trying to get her attention, to get her to come to him. She stole the show at our wedding, but, she was so cute, it didn't matter.

I need this. My skin is so dehydrated.

JenO said...

It was one of those "too quiet" moments while I was doing laundry, just around the corner from the kitchen and living room. I found my 4 yr old dumped an entire bag of flour over my 6 yr old's head. The 4 year old retaliated with a box of corn starch. Then they realized they would be in trouble and started to "clean up" by dumping water all over the mess. How do you explain such things to the carpet cleaner man?

Well I have a couple!!

When my eldest was about 3yrs old. We were talking about her Uncle Robert. Without any prompting or warning for that matter she pipes up saying "Uncle Robert has a peanut" lol I couldn't help but laugh and of course correct her!! :-)

While I was working and my hubby was taking care of our youngest something hilarious happened. I was a very open and out there mom and I guess my youngen had seen me using feminine products. Well, she was just toilet trained at the time and mentioned to her dad that she had to go to the bathroom. So he said "go ahead" as she had a little potty for her. After about 5 minutes he was wondering where his daughter was. He found her in the bathroom with a maxi pad in her underwear and trying to figure out how to work a tampon!!!! Oh lordy!!

I walked into the kitchen once to see our youngest holding a pound of opened butter in her hands and chomping down on the end of it!!!!!!!! ahhhh

My MIL got my 15 month old breastfeeding daughter a Barbie doll just a few days ago. It was her first Barbie, of course. Immediately after she got it, she lifted its dress up and sucked on the boobie! LOL! Now she's the talk of the family. My MIL loves telling that story. I don't think it was because she is breastfed or that she was "sucking" on it... but whatever lol.... anything that will make that lady happy!

My 1-year-old has just learned the word "girl," though she doesn't exactly know what it means yet-- she just think it means "person," I think. The other day, she walked around pointing at everyone in sight, proclaiming, "Girl!" I don't think the 7-year-old boy she said it to was amused.

Hello, I had my two toddlers out to breakfast with my dad an mom. In came a friend of my dad's named George! George is a very funny ( Ha-Ha ) kind of person. He joined up for breakfast. Before we left, George said something to my youngest son about his hair ( he has lots of it ) and then Alex asked, Why does that man have a "naked" head?! Thanks,Cindi

Suzie said...

Of course, this wasn't funny at the time. Three weeks ago I had my baby boy. Everyone told me parenting a boy would be a totally different experience from my first- a girl. I didn't think it would be, but I got peed on our first day home from the hospital. Since then, I've learned to keep his sprayer covered, but last week, while I was sitting in front of him on the bed, remembering to toss a wipe over him so I wouldn't get sprayed, while I was prepping the diaper to put on him, he shot POOP all over me! I never thought baby poop would shoot out with such force and go all over my clothing and the bed... nut fun!

Oh...which story to pick from!!! Well, when I had "The Talk" with my 8yo daughter, you can imagine that there were a million questions, on her part...well, it got to be time for bed and she got SO upset, I just couldn't figure it out! When I fina;;y got her calmed down, it came out that she thought that this noght was the only night that we were going to be talking about "IT" and her little brain was just smoking, trying to come up with more & more questions (and WOW, were they getting interesting!). I explained that she could come to me at anytime to talk to me about "IT" and I was open to any questions.

Well, I guess I should have elaborated...a couple days later, in a department sotre check-out line, VERY loudly, she asked "if a woman could get PG w/out having Sex??" I almost Died. Lets just say that we got out of there fast & from now on, all questions are saved for the privacy of HOME!! OMG!!

Mary512 said...

On my daughters second birthday a few days ago I thought it would be a nice idea to take her to do something fun, so I took her to the childrens museum. she spent the whole time climbing up and down the stairs and had her first all out two year old tantrum as we were leaving, with everyone watching! I was so embarrassed, but looking back, even though it was just a few days ago, it was pretty funny.

Great giveaway, thanks!

My 8 month old just learned to say "caca" and will scream it loud and proud in the grocery store!

Kim said...

When my daughter was 4, (I can remember like it was yesterday) we were in at WalMart. A couple was standing ahead of us in line and both had made a comment on how cute she was. She looked me straight (up) in the eyes and said, "Mommy, I'm NOT cute. I am 4 years old!" I blushed but they got the biggest kick out of it!

My funny experience was when my chid crawled over her crib and I found her sleeping under it. It was time to buy a bed!

My son brought his dirty dishes home from college. I sat down on the driveway laughing.

My son had ear infections as a baby and his hearing and speech were delayed. He came home years ago from elementary school. I asked him what he learned in school and he said,"I learned about Nuns today." I was surprised that the teacher would teach religion. Further questioning he said they were a proper name. He meant nouns not nuns.

My 6-year old had been practicing writing short stories in class. After receiving a star on it and bringing it home, I read it and about died of embarrassment. He had written that he loves his older brother very much but his brother is mean to him and that mommy threatens him by saying, "You have to remember that dad will be coming home one day!"

It looked as if my oldest was a constant bully and that my husband had deserted us all LOL!

You know you hvae lost the battle when your three year old can outsmart you. Weh ave recently been trying to use the "how to talk to kids..." method to get more info out of our daughter. Recently, I was demonstratign for a friend how this works, and I asked my daughter "What is the best thing you did today at school?" to which she promptly responded "mom, youa sk that every day and the answeris alwaysthe same. From now on, just tell yourself the answer from me is always the playground." Busted!

Leah said...

On the date it was due, I realized I had forgotten to stick my credit card payment in the mail so I quickly scooped up my 3 year old daughter, stuck some slippers on her feet, and quickly went to the mall to make the payment before they closed. Once I got there my silly daughter thought it would be funny to hide from me to the point I was getting frantic. Other shoppers began helping me look for her and then store security got involved. They asked for a description so I told them she's blonde and has BIG BROWN BEAR SLIPPERS on. She was hiding under a nearby circular clothing rack watching everybody frantically looking for her. How embarrassing!

I loved when my daughter said "all clean" from the backseat of the car when she was about 15 mo old. I looked back to see her sandals off and licking her toes.......pricesless!

A couple days after I brought my newborn son home from the hospital, I fell asleep while nursing him. I woke up to pains in my legs. My three year old daughter was shaving them! Apparently I had neglected to shave my legs and she decided to "help" me.

There are funny moments everyday. Recently my daughter told me that she was proud of me after I used the toilet.

Our parakeets were fighting while our friends were over. My son announced bonnie and roy were fighting again. We about fell over in embarrassment because my husband had said a week before that the birds were just like bonnie and roy with fighting all the time.

When I was in the store with my daughter last summer, I knocked over an entire display of ketchup and mustard. My daughter announced, "It wasnt me, my Mommy knocked it over with her big Butt" I was mortified!

Funny only in the telling - my daughter did a lovely "art project" on the carpet using roll-on deodorant!

ablondeblogger said...

My daughter and I were at an etiquette class with our fellow homeschoolers (many of whom are conservative Christians). It was a course on how to prepare a dinner party.

When they went around asking everyone who they would invite ("Jesus!" "The Pope!"), my daughter thought she would be funny and shouted, "Satan!"

There was complete silence. No one thought it was funny. I wanted to disappear!

jennem said...

I was at my local bakery, which is staffed completely by men who speak very little English. My toddler daughter was particularly rambunctious that day--somehow, she'd escaped her stroller, and was running amok throughout the dining area, trying to poke her fingers into everyone's food. I didn't want to hold up the line, so I reached into the diaper bag, grabbed the small nylon pouch I keep my money in, tossed it on the counter, and told the guy at the register to just take out however much I owed.

I finally cornered her under a table and brought her back to the register...to find the cashier holding up the plastic-wrapped maxi pad I had mistaken for my wallet, wondering what exactly he was supposed to take out.

Irishmama said...

My 4 yr old daughter insisted to go to the restaurant potty alone. I, of course, followed behind and got in the stall next to her.

Disguising my voice: Hi little girl
Daughter: You're a stranger
Me: How do you know I'm a stranger
Daughter: Because I came here by myself
Me: Do you want some candy
Daughter: I don't talk to strangers

a minute later

Daughter: Stranger, you have the same feet as my mommy!

In the middle of a busy bank, opening up a new account, my husband stood to take his wallet out of his back pocket when our 5 year old moved his seat. My husband went to sit back down and fell flat on the floor. I got the giggles so bad (couldn't help it, it was so funny) but the bank lady just looked horrified.

stampedwithgrace said...

I gave my 18 mo old a bath and she pulled the plug, so all the water drained out, but she still wanted to play in the tub. I laid my head onto the counter and I guess I dozed off, because when I woke up she was playing in poop! obviously, she quickly got another bath!!

Today my son decided that they best way to eat a Lo Mein noodle at a Chinese restaurant was to hold one end in his mouth and the other end with his hand stretched out as far as possible. It's amazing how children look at everything with a different and silly perspective.

When my youngest daughter was an infant I was holding her up in the air and playing with her..Next thing I know she has some projectile heading my way..right into my mouth! Luckily..i guess luckily she was just on formula but Yuck! That will forever gross me out. She is only 2 now and Im sure the fun has just begun with her. My oldest 2 are pretty calm compared to this one!

My son loves fruit snacks. We gave him some to keep him entertained while waiting for the dr at his 2 year check up. When she took his diaper off, she had a horrified look on her face and asked us if we knew anything about "this." We looked. There was a red fruit snack stuff right above his pee-pee. I still laugh about it, though I was a little mortified at the time.

Rachel said...

I have a funny story, and unfortunately it involves poop! When our baby was 6 weeks old, I went to the post natal check up and left her with my husband. I came home and was sitting in the car going through the mail when my husband opened the door- giving me this look (IF LOOKS COULD KILL)
Turns out the baby had a huge blow out, he didn't know what to do, he wound up laying her face DOWN to pull her clothes off, and then just threw them in the bathroom sink to wait for me. While doing this he just kept telling the baby, "I don't know what to do, I've never had one of you before!"

When my daughter was 4 she accidentally slid down the two carpeted steps into our livingroom. She was wearing a tank top and gave herself a nasty brush burn on her upper back. She was sobbing and I picked her up and consoled her and said "Oh you really did a number on your back!" She immediatly stopped crying and asked me "What number?"

When my daughter was 3 1/2, she came into the bathroom while I was using the facilities. While I was sitting there, she sat down on the edge of the bathtub, put her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands and said "Let's talk!"

When my daughter was about 2, we had gone to eat at a Red Robin restaurant with my parents. In the middle of the meal, she let out this huge burp. It was so loud everyone turned to see what it was. Even the staff came running out of the kitchen to see what the noise was. It was funny but she was embarrassed even at that young age.

Amy said...

My 2 year old always seems to say something really embarrassing to me when we are in the middle of a store, surrounded by other people. Last week at the grocery store, she pointed to my chest and said VERY loudly, "Mommy your bumps are really heavy!!" Then she started to poke "my bumps" and chant. I was so embarrassed. I could not get out of the store fast enough. I'm sure those around me got a good laugh. aewalls425@hotmail.com

LOL that clip is hillarious I am still laughing so hard I am about to pee on myself.

Im not sure how funny this is but the most embarassing moment so far with Connor was at a family reunion and Connor's 80 year old great grandfather is sitting at the table with me in a resteruant and we were still breastfeeding.. the resteraunt was packed and Connor is screaming bloody murder as he is starving and there is no way out of the booth and no where to hide... my nursing cover was in the car so I look right at him and say "im so sorry.. but I have to do this" and stick a boob right in Connor's Mouth. LOL he just looks at me and smiles and says "I am 80.. its not like I haven't seen that before"

I have soooo many stories it's hard to pick just one. When Mike was about 18 months he was in his crib supposedly taking a nap (all three kids & me took naps at the same time). I woke up to check on Mike and he was not in his crib. I looked all over the apartment and then noticed that there was a chair next to the door and the screen door was unlashed. I paniced. I ran out side and started calling him. After a while, I saw a lady walking with my son across the parking lot of the grocery store. I ran over there as quick as I could. She said, "This must be your son. We found him in the meat counter where with the frozen pizzas. He had a grocery cart filled with Tide detergent, dish soap, and was beginning to fill up with pizzas. I asked him where his mommie was and all he said was huh. We walked around the store then I took him outside. He heard your voice and started saying huh, huh. I followed your voice and here he is. I've never meant such a young shopper in all my life!" I grabbed him, thanked her, and took him home. Of couse I did the scolding part but he didn't get it. He just wanted to go grocery shopping. All funny and scary at the same time....from then on every where I lived I was known as the "fish wife" calling to find my son. Believe it or not!

One of the funniest moments was when I was buying stuff for my son's first semester at college. The elderly gentleman who helped me pack the purchases in the car told me my "brother" was waiting at the door. I corrected him, but it made me smile all the way home. When I told my preteen daughter about it she said, "Gosh, Jason must be looking really bad today!"

Lynn said...

Oh my gosh these are so funny! My boys haven't done anything too terrible. The one that popped into my mind was our first "family" vacation after my husband and I got married. My son was 13 months at the time and apparently needed a diaper change prior to taking a carraige tour just before having to leave for the airport. Mommy hadn't left anything out to change into and the only thing I could find were jeans...just what you want to wear in Charleston, SC over Labor Day!

blueviolet said...

I was quite embarrassed when in a bookstore, my 2 year old sang out unconsciously but extremely loudly, "NBC, the place to be!" She sang it over and over and over and I felt like people must be thinking that I park her in front of the tv all day. That's not true though! She just catches slogans.

My sister is getting married and had a shower a couple of weeks ago. I have a 3 and a 4 year old. They were very excited when we got to the shower and saw everyone with gifts. My four year old tapped me on the hip and said, "Mommy, why did all of these people bring presents to watch (Aunt Amanda) take a shower?" We thought it was the funniest thing. It never occurred to me to explain that she wasn't going to actually get in the bath tub.

I invited my entire family to see my son perform in his first Christmas show at preschool. Unfortunately, my son caught a case a cold feet and refused to perform. The principal of the school kept waiting for him to say his part and he kept refusing. This continued for a horrendous ammount of time until my son ran out of the church crying and the principal asked me to just say the line.

The potty training years were a real hoot. My little one would sneak off to potty by herself, thus leaving a little potty full of pee. Well, one day, she came out, hair all wet and so proud of herself for having 'washed' her hair in the little tub...of pee. Nice.

When Josh was 2 1/2, we were beginning to get him to potty. We decided to go one day without a diaper since he had been doing so well. We decided to eat dinner at a friend's house, and while we were sitting at the table, Josh decided he needed to go. I let him down so he could do his business, and I wasn't paying too close of attention, when all of a sudden I heard this rustling sound. Josh was peeing on their decorative banana plant! I could have died...needless to say, we decided to use the diapers just a little while longer.

When my daughter was much younger, sitting in the back seat of the car (in her car seat), we slowly passed a police officer giving another motorist a ticket. My daughter yelled out the partially open window (it was summertime) "busted!" The officer followed me all the way home to remind me that she should be sitting securely in her booster seat at all times. Good thing she was, but it was still embarrassing :)

This past Christmas my husband was videotaping the children and me. First he panned to me and asked how much did I love him. I said, "More than I can express". He then panned to our 11 year old and asked him the same question, to which he replied, "More than I can express". Then my husband panned to my 6 year old asking him the same thing. My 6 year old looked up at him with an adorable little smile and replied, "More than I expected!"

My daughters used to love stories about when I was growing up. One day, I told a story and my 6-year-old asked, "Was that in the black-and-white days?" I said, "What are you talking about?" She said, "You know, when everything was black and white instead of color." I replied, "No, darling, there's always been color." She said, "You can't fool me! I've seen the books and TV shows from the olden days and everything was black and white back then!!!"

Our oldest son is 5 now, but when he was almost three, we were at the mall and the store we were at was really crowded. My son kept walking around funny and i asked him what felt like 50 times if he was okay and what was going on. Every time, he said that it was nothing. About 10 minutes later we were standing in the crowded checkout line and my son looked up at me and said, "Mom can you pull my wedgie out?" As funny as it was, I was mortified!!

I always find it funny that when I go out shoppping without my kids and I hear someone close to me say "Mommy", I always turn thinking it is one of my kids.

My older daughter never got into very much trouble, but once the younger one came along it was chaos on a regular basis. One day when they were napping the younger one soiled her diaper. She decided it was a good opportunity to try her artistic skills and "painted" the walls of their bedroom. Naturally big sister joined in.
I thought I would never get it clean.

When my oldest sone was 6 and my middle son was three we took a trip to the beach. My mother was pushing my tired 6 year old in the stroller which was really too small for him. I was walking behind the group with the three year old. I man and his son passed and he told his son. "Did you see that boy in the stroller? You should count your blessings. There is always some one worse off that you."

I thought my darling 18 month old was a little too precocious and I went ahead and gave her the 'baby' version of not talking to strangers or opening the door for them either. One day I was in the shower and I heard the doorbell ring. I did not want to be bothered so I did not answer it. I got out a few minutes later and walked in my living room totally nude and saw the minister and deacon standing there. I was so shocked I could not speak. My daughter just smiled up at me and said "see mommy, me do know them!" Oh she minded so well that day!

We don't go out to dinner often, but we happened to go out with our teenage daughter and 3 year old son last week. The restaurant was pretty quiet. All of the sudden, my 3 year old blurts out very loudly and very proudly, "Mommy, I farted". My daughter immediately left the table devastated from embarrassment while me and my husband cracked up laughing.

when my oldest daughter was 4 we were shopping for some new shoes at Sears
well she was getting quite upset and walked over to the maniquins and lifted up her dress and said really loud "mommy this one has no underwear" the sales lady just laughed along with other people in the store

Going to the hairdresser who loves yellow; shop is painted a very bright yellow on the outside My five year old in all simplicity said: "Why do you get your hair fixed at Big Bird's House????". I fell out laughing. Best of luck to all who enter.

I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I was frantically trying to get my 3 and 5 year old sons ready for bed so I could go to work on the night shift as a nurse. I sat my 8 month pregnant body down on the bed to help the 3 year old get his pajamas on and his foot had gotten caught between the mattress and the box spring. He said angrily "Mom, You're going to have to be more careful where you sit with that big butt of yours" I was laughing so hard I couldn't get my breath. rosans4@insightbb.com

My family was traveling to California on Christmas Eve. I have three boys who still believe in Santa and they were worried about getting a gift from him since we weren't home. I bought some travel games at a Cracker Barrel and had them wrapped. When the boys fell asleep in the car, I had my husband lay the gifts on their laps. When they woke up several hours later, they were so excited. I told them that I saw a red light in my rear view mirror, so I pulled over. Scared that I was speeding and it was a cop, I was fumbling around to find my driver's licence. When I turned to roll down the window, it was Santa and his reindeer, the red light came from Rudolph's nose!! He gave the boys their gifts and away he went.
