My son has thrown plenty of public tantrums. I don't find them funny.
He says all sorts of funny things to people. Recently his new thing is asking every boy he meets if they "have a dinky too?" He has asked old men, mom's of babies and my coworkers, LOL. I have tried explaining that is not a question we ask of everyone, but I think he enjoys the reaction he gets when they finally realize what he is referring to.
The other day he spit out a new one. My son and I were arguing about him wanting more shortcake. My SO piped in to back me up. My son looked at him dead serious and said "Daddy, its none of your business!" I had to seriously focus to not LOL! Gotta love daycare.

I can remember one day taking my son to the store and he threw a major fit. I have no idea what set him off but it was so bad that i had to leave my friend in the check out with all my food and have her pay for me because i had to physically pick him up and he was really fighting me. I get him outside and i am huffing and puffing from struggling with him and hes laying on the ground and im trying to hold him and this man walks by us and says it would be more effective and easier on you if you would just bust his ass when he acts like that. I got so mad i said so your telling me you would beat on an autistic child? I just get so sick of having to explain and the stares. And now i dont explain anymore. I shouldnt have to explain to anyone why my child is different. Although i have to when he walks up to a complete stranger and tries to take the wallet out of his pocket and says "let me check ur bootie" over and over. And then he will whack them in the butt. I hate it when he does this. Im working on breaking him of this.
Here's one for you ladies...When my son was 2 (he is now 7) He wouldn't let me take his temp by mouth or under arm so guess where it went....Anyhow every time he seen ANYONE didnt matter who it was...he would tell them "My mommy sticks things in my bum..."Try explaining that one...lol that went on for a couple weeks...
Oh and then when he was 5. He started noticing girls...Well he seen a teenager in a tight half top and really short tight shorts...As loud as he could he said "Mommy she looks better than you, Can we take her home"...Not a good day...lol
He also threws fits in the stores...I came up with a good line that shuts him up fast...When ever he starts yelling "you didnt get me anything, you dont care what I want, you need to get me something I want..."I say back to him "I dont have to care what you want, I just have to care what you need." he stopped almost instantly and then I had a couple mom's laughing their asses off....
When we were ready to go get our name put on the waiting list for navy housing they had us in the waiting room for what seemed like hours. Aiden was really bored so my husband let him down to go walk around and follow him. This other woman was there waiting on her sister and Aiden kept on flirting with her. When the woman's sister came out she stood up to get ready to leave Aiden went over to her and smacked her on the but. he was only 14 months or so but after he did it he turned around and smiled and the lady turned around with this huge look of surprise on her face. I ducked my head I was SOOOO embarrassed. My husband apologized and started laughing and I was apologizing profusely and she just started laughing....I felt about an inch tall lol. Can't wait to tell his girlfriends someday:)

Ha ha ha. Good for your daughter. I hope the girl learned the dangers of going to the store dressed like a ho. She should save it for the night club, where some drunken jerk may do the same thing.
My embarrassing story. My older son had a habit of talking wayy to loudly in public. Once, when he was 6 and I was prego, he stood up in a restaurant and announced "hey everybody, my mommy's gonna have a baby!"

Once, my daughter (she was 2 at the time) and I were waiting in line at the store. There was a young girl in front of us, pretty hot (by my hubby's standards) maybe fresh college age, wearing a slim shirt and a preppy little white miniskirt...kind of like a cheerleader skirt that just barely covers your ass. Anyway...
My daughter walked right up to her, and pulled this girl's skirt up!
I was emberrassed, but not as much as she was, there was a pretty pink thong under there and my daughter said "look, Mom, is that her butt?"
LOL!
ok...most embarrassing..
My little boy just made 5 yrs old...we were at the park and he was talking to different children ( he is NOT shy), and he ran into a little boy and the boys paran and his wife... we've been knowing them for a little while, she is white as a ghost, literally, and he is a very dark black man. She is expecting and was talking about when she would have her baby. My son has friends from many different ethnic backgrounds, so he felt free asking, "whatcha supposed to call a baby with two different kinds of parents? Do you get to be black and white, like a zebra?"
The lady was great, she explained no, that if your parents are from different backgrounds you're a mixture of both, but you don't get any stripes. He actually embarassed me further by saying, "Oh, I thought stripes would be cool though. I'd like it if I had stripes!"
I was so glad she saw the humor in his innocence...I was too embarrassed!
