What's the most embarrassing thing your kids have said or done?
I know we all have stories.... I wanna hear yours! I honestly need a good laugh....
When my youngest was 5 he had an inguinal hernia. The doctor doing the surgery did his pre-op and introduced my son to the word "penis". I didn't explain the surgery to my son because I didn't want to scare him. The next day at school he told his teacher and classmates, all of which are girls, that the doctor had to cut his penis off and he showed them his penis. His teacher told me when I picked him up. I was mortified. When we got home I explained the procedure to him. I figured if he wasn't afraid of getting his penis cut off then there's no reason he should fear the real deal!

Ever? Or just today?
Actually, today was not too bad, except I think I strained something trying not to laugh. We were sitting a red light, waiting to make a left turn after the light turned. A car in the cross-traffic started beeping - the 'hurry up' kind. I said, "Hmm, wonder who's he's beeping at?" From the booster-seat brigade comes, "I guess someone thought we were a$$holes," in a mild, conversational tone.
Last Spring during the kid's week off of school my girls and I spent a weekend at my cousin's new house about an hour away, DH stayed home with the boys. My younger daughter wanted to go home the first night, she doesn't like sleeping in strange surroundings and my older daughter was miserable because she doesn't like yelling and almost the entire weekend was spent listening to my cousin's husband yell at their 11 year old son. So when we got home my older daughter made me promise that we wouldn't spend another night there, I understood how she felt so I agreed. When school got out for the summer my cousin and her family (DH and two kids) came to visit, the four of them along with my parents and aunt were all at my house one afternoon and as the adults sat on the porch talking my older daughter came over for a drink and heard my cousin say to me that we should come spend another weekend up there at her place sometime this summer (she still hadn't made many friends and was bored there since she's a SAHM and her husband worked all the time). Well my daughter looked straight at me and said "Mom, you said we never had to go back there". I was mortified because she said it in front of my cousin, and I really didn't want to hurt my cousin's feelings by telling her how much my kids hated spending the weekend at her house.
When my son was about 2 he announced very loudly in a public restroom, "Mommy, you have no wiener!!!" I thought it was very funny.
When my 6yr dd was 2 she had this horrible cough that made her throw up. Well she was standing beside my ds who was 4. He was sitting mind you. Well she started coughing and he screams dont throw up on me over and over. When she finished coughingshe simply leaned over and went BLAH fake throw up noise. He freaked out and I was rolling from laughter. Have no idea where she got that from.
It has to be the time we went into a Catholic library to buy some tickets for a conference for my sister and myself, and DD saw a book that said Creed and had some pictures (it was a book to teach children the Creed), and she said: Mom, WHO was Creed? (she was like 8 at the time, not only should she have known that Creed was a WHAT, not a WHO, but she should have already known at least parts of it by then!) I ended up buying the book for her! (You should have seen the store clerk´s face!)
Either that one or the time I took her to my office, got distracted for a bit and she wandered off and proceeded to ask one of my bosses, whom she found in the hall: "Is there a place here where I can go poo?"

We had just picked out our first family puppy about 2 years ago...for my oldest son's birthday present. We were on the drive home and we were all discussing what we should name the new puppy, a male daschund, so we were throwing around lots of names.....none of which everyone agreed on......and my middle son, who was 5 at the time..................says, "Why don't we name him COOCHIE"......I said, "we can't name him that"...where did you hear that word...he said, I just made it up. I couldn't hold back the laughter...and I said NO, we are not going to name him that....so,all the way home he cried and screamed and sayed..............I WANT TO NAME HIM COOCHIE....OVER AND OVER.....I COULD'T STOP LAUGHING..WHICH DIDN'T HELP THE SITUATION....LOL LOL LOL
