does anyone else have a child who regardless of how many times you tell them its rude or not to comment they just cant help themselves???

I have found my self in so many embaressing situations with my 4 year old son heres a few...

walking down the street he turns to a random lady and says "hello whats your name" as the lady smiles at him he looked at her teeth (which were a bit rotton) and blurted out "Oh lady your teeth are disgusting I think you should pop off to shop and buy a toothbrush!

He asked a man why his teeth were so big !

he told my neighbour her home smelt funny and that her windows needed washing and that she really oughtto clean up !

after I gave birth to my baby I took him to nursery with my son as he wanted to show him off, while stood there he shouts out very loud " my mum has had Stanley it really hurt her and her bum is bleeding badly"

I could go on and on I dread taking him out as no matter how much I tell him and no matter where we are you can guarantee he say something I know my gran always said say it as it is but oh my sometimes I could crawl under a rock,

does anyone else have children who just cant help them selves

My daughter won't be talking for a while yet, but I have 4 younger siblings and remember plenty of times like these. My sister was the worst offender, we called her the blabber mouth because she would always share private information with anyone who would listen.

It sounds like your son might be interested in dentistry someday

After potty training my son (who is now 4), we were out shopping and I had to go to the bathroom. So I took him with me. As I'm sitting on the toilet doing my business, he asks (rather loudly), "Are you having a big stinky poop mom?". Then when I stood up to flush he goes "Oh you had a pee! Good job mommy!" and claps for me. I was praying that no one else was in the washroom, but as we walked out of the stall there was a lady standing there with a big smile on her face trying hard not to giggle.

Another time he anounced to my mom, "Only boys have pee pees. Mom doesn't have one. She must have lost hers."

My sister was a nightmare for things like this - one year she was obsessed with Oliver! and kept shouting out the Dodger/Fagin sequence of "these sausages are mouldy!" "shut up and drink yer gin!" Seriously every time she ate sausages or even mentioned sausages she would yell this out. At around the same time my mom won a radio competition and we got to spend a weekend in a nice hotel with breakfast included so she tried to ban my sister from watching Oliver! in the hope that she would forget all about it and not offend the rest of the guests/management by yelling about the quality (or lack thereof) of their breakfast pork products. I *think* I might have slipped the VHS tape into the machine the day before we left for the hotel...

Boy oh boy, do I feel you. My yougest has been the worst so far. On Easter Sunday at Church, we went to the toilet together. When she was finished I went. As soon as I was done, she annouces in a loud voice "mummy you have a lot of hair on your Gyne-a (vagina)!" I almost died. One of my good friends was in the toilet at teh time so she heard the whole thing.

My eldest DD was about 2.5 when we were in the grocery when she saw an african american man approaching. She blurted out "Mumma, that man is made out of chocolate! He is a chocolate man!" The man looked at me and I at him and we both laughed. I guess I got lucky!!!

Kids say teh most honest and dardest things!!!!

My mom tells us a story about my brother quite often. My parents were looking for a house to rent and a potential landlord asked him what his name was and he responded "My name is Poopy-Head."

As soon as I was done, she annouces in a loud voice "mummy you have a lot of hair on your Gyne-a (vagina)!" I almost died.

LOL! My son has done that too. "Mom you have whiskers on your pee pee!"

For James, it was never him saying stuff, as much as it was what he was going to attempt to touch while we were out.

We were standing in the grocery store line one day, ad he started playing my butt like bongos.

Same grocery store, different day, and he attempted to feel me up.

The feeling me up prompted a discussion about when it's appropriate to touch someones body - I was like "Listen, if we're at home, and you're goofing around, that's one thing. When we're out in public, you absolutely can not touch me that way!"

I think I've had to remind him once since.

When my little brother, Eric, was a baby my mom would wind up making up silly songs to entertain me. When I was 3 my grandparents on my father's side - who are more formal than we are - came up for Christmas. They asked me if I knew "Jingle Bells," and I said I did, and loudly sang:

Jingle Bells,
Eric smells,
poopies in his pants!


A++ work Mom... lol! Wish I'd been there to savor that awkward moment!

I may have already shared this on DDN before, but I think my most famous moment was when I was around 3 years old and stood up in church and shouted "Everybody cut, everybody cut!" I was a bit obsessed with the soundtrack to Footloose, apparently.

There was also a time when Communion was going around, and I said very loudly, "Mom, are they serving food now?"

And then there was the time my mom made me wear very uncomfortable lacy tights to a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank (the stage play), and when we left, I said, "She thinks she had it bad? At least she didn't have to wear these tights!" *facepalm*

OP, oh my goodness. How horrifying! Lol! At least you have some funny stories to laugh about afterward though.

My daughter hasn't said anything like that (My daughter is also 4). However, lately she has been telling parents and other children at the park how she has a NEW house, a NEW daddy, and a NEW baby brother (emphasis on the new.. lol).

Umm... she has none of those thing! Lol! No new house, new daddy, or new baby brother. Haha.

I shared this in my thread "out of the mouths of babes".

When my 11-year-old grand niece (she's nearly 12 now) was I think nearly three, my niece told us that in the check-out in the grocery store one day, there was a heavy-set woman in front of them in the line. This woman's bum was hanging out a bit above the waistband of her jeans. My niece told us that my grand-niece said, "Ooh, look at that lady's butt!". I must admit that if I had been there, it would have been a Herculean effort for me not to do or say anything.

My sister has a story like that about her daughter. Ex-hubby of hers was always joking around and saying outrageous things with their daughter who was around four (hmmm... I see a trend here on the thread with this dangerous age...) and he would say stuff like you better do (insert desired behavior here) and if you don't I'm going to scoop you up and throw you in the hamper and hang you on a hook in the closet. Lots of giggling and guffaws ensued. Clearly he did not understand the literal-minded perspective of a four-year old as evidenced by what happened next...

So one day my sister and her daughter are at lunch with some women in some type of pressure situation , I don't remember exactly, work-related maybe, where she was really needing good behavior from the girl. Somehow the talk ended up on the topic of disciplining children and time-outs and such. And one woman asked the little girl, do you have to go to time-out when you are naughty? And the little girl said..... yep, you guessed it: When I'm bad, my daddy throws me in the hamper and hangs me on the hook in the closet.

My niece is 4 too, and last time I saw her she told me this whole long story about how they went camping and her older brother set up a tent all by himself... on and on and on she went. A little later I said to my SIL "J told me you went camping with your new tents, how was it?" and she said "She has never been camping before... we talked about going, I guess that is where she got it from." Kids!

One story for each kid -

When my oldest was about five, we went to the beach. We hadn't packed a picnic or anything and it was kind of a low populated area so the only place open to eat was a bar. His school had been doing an anti-drug campaign in recent weeks and when we went inside, they had it all decorated like a beach bar would be, with bottles and 12 packs of beer and liquor signs, etc. I can see he is immediately distressed. I ask him what's wrong and he says, rather loudly, "Mom, we can't eat here, these people do drugs!!" I wanted to sink through the floor!

I guess the school had lumped drugs and alcohol together in their message, but he took it straight to heart. I could hardly convince him to order something. We ended up getting our food to-go and had an impromptu picnic on a bench.

My daughter - a little back story... she fell asleep one night on the couch, wrapped up in her towel after her bath. I finished the dishes, etc. and then got her nightgown and pulled her to her feet to dress her for bed. She opened her eyes and yawned and did a big stretch and promptly crumpled to floor, landing on her face. She did not cry. I just picked her up and said "poor baby", then took her to bed and she was fast asleep before her head hit the pillow.

Next morning, she wakes up with a bright red carpet burn on her cheek! She was surprised because she did not remember falling the night before, she was that sound asleep. Poor thing. It hurt so I let her put some ice on it, gave her some tylenol and let her be late for school. We went up to school after she felt a little better, but she still had the bright red strawberry mark on her cheek. I have to take her to the office to check her in and the nurse is sitting there and asks her "what happened to your face, honey?" Without missing a beat, my girl says "my mommy says I fell down." Oh dear lord, now I'm thinking, the school officials are going to send me to jail for beating my kid!! Fortunately, they knew me well up at the school and after just a couple seconds the nurse teases me, "You need to stop beating that child!" But what if they hadn't known me? That story was famous up at the school! They even referenced it at my PTA retirement presentation.

kk~

Haha, need the truth? Never fear, little ones will give it.

I was sitting with my granddaughter, one morning (she is four), reading her a book. I had not brushed my teeth yet and was still in my pjs. She started holding her nose and I asked her why.

She said, "Nana, you stink!" LOL

Oh I have so many storys!

Last year I was in the supermarket with my older sister and her children, we were waiting in line and my 6 yr old nephew turns to us and goes in a VERY loud voice "Mum, what's a camel toad?" BAHAHAHA! Who knows where the heck he picked that up from! Thank god he misheard and thought it was toad instead of toe... it was more funny than embarrasing!! My sister just went "Oh, a camel with a toad on it's back"


Another one when my younger sister was little we had a lady that lived in our area who was VERY old and super teeny, and she always wore black and drove around on her mobility scooter... well my sister (about 3) decided that she was a witch! So we were in a dairy one day and the lady comes into the stoor and my sister sees her, lets out this horrified gasp/half scream and shouts "MUM, THERE'S THAT WITCH!!!" Mum almost died! Haha

These story's are great!! I too have a 4 yr old son who has no filter what so ever!! He has made me blush many of times but the most recent was when we were at his and his sisters dance studio and I was talking with one of the oother moms.... She is a little on the plump side (has a bit of a tummy) My adorable son walks right up and asks "are you pregnant.". She says "no" and he says "well you look like your pregnant!!!". I just about died of embarrassment! Luckily he walked away and she went on with the conversation like nothing happened!
