One of the best stages of a child’s life, from a parent’s point of view, is when toddlers begin to turn babbling, and the odd word or two, into full blown conversations. It is so true that kids say the funniest things, only sometimes we wish they would keep a few things to themselves! We had a chat to a group of moms who shared the funniest things their child has said in public

 

Some of the funniest things kids say !!!

Pajama Day

 

During winter, I often wear sweatshirts around the house of an evening and I have been known to jump into bed with one on. I was in a rush to make the pre-school run one day, so just ran out of the house in one of my comfy sweatshirts. On a packed public bus, full of school kids, no less, my 3 year old decided to ask (very loudly) “why are you wearing your pajamas outside mommy?”. So, yeah, I had dozens of school kids checking out my scruffy attire, with little grins all over their faces. Nice one Daisy!

 

Look, It’s Daddy Pig

 

Walking through our local grocery store, my 4 year old suddenly starting tapping me, then proceeded to point to a woman standing just over the way from us. “Look mom, that lady has a massive tummy, just like Daddy Pig”! We had just started to watch Peppa Pig cartoons on TV, oh boy, talk about not knowing where to look.

 

Fashion Police

 

My daughter and I were enjoying a girly day, with lunch at our local coffee shop, followed by a spot of shopping. I decided to try on a skirt and brought her into the changing booth with me. The skirt I picked up was a little tight, but I think it looked ok, that is until my daughter told me “ Mommy, you are silly, you picked up a little girls skirt and it’s too tight, ha ha ha”. The lady in the next booth though it was funny too! Ouch!

 

Well, that’s my cover blown

 

I bumped into a friend, whilst on the school run, and quickly began to apologize for not making it to her birthday night out the previous weekend (I really could not bothered going as I was not in the mood for drinking and some of her other friends are really loud), telling her I was ill. “Mommy you have not been sick, we all had a pizza night on Friday” my little boy quickly chirped up. Cue a very red face and hasty exit, after a lot of babbling to try to rescue myself.

 

Mommy loves spots

 

My daughter often liked to tell people what I am wearing, right down to what color socks I wore on Tuesday. Around a family dinner, once time, she proudly told everyone that “ Mommy is wearing her new spotty knickers today”. I think everyone was all the better for knowing that information!

 

Pass the bucket

 

I help host a messy play session at my local church on Sundays and always take bits and bobs around the house. One week, I took in a large bucket, to fill with water and play a fishing game. It was the first bucket that I noticed lying around the house and did not think twice about until my son suddenly asked why I had bought the family sick bucket to church with me. I think the whole congregation could have used it, after hearing him say that.

 

It’s OK, I got you covered Mom

 

At the checkout, my daughter was suddenly panicked, so I hurriedly asked her what was the matter. “ We forgot to get you your diapers mommy, I checked the packet this morning and you are running low”. I just had to embarrassingly tell her that I was ok for sanitary pads that week!

 

Are you sure you don’t want a new dolly honey?

 

At a packed supermarket one day, my daughter confidently decided that she was going to buy herself a penis with her pocket money this week. We searched all of the aisles, but couldn’t find one, so new crayons it was.

 

Err, Err…I used my hand gel

 

I was in such a hurry to leave our last play date session, that I quickly ran to the restroom, with my toddler in tow. Upon coming out and quickly saying my goodbyes to friends, my son shouted at me, saying “ Mommy, go right back into the rest room and wash your hands, you will spread germs to everyone “ That was me told and very, very embarrassed.

 

Shhh, I’ll explain when I get home sweetie

 

I always try to explain to my kids about people being different and if somebody looks different, we can ask questions and talk about it. It is just handy if they ask these questions in private, rather than the time on the tube when my 3 year old asked, super loudly, why the man next to us had bird poop on his head. I wanted the ground to eat me up, so hastily explained that it must be a skin condition etc, seriously why so many questions kids?

 

We have been laughing so hard at these stories and we would love to hear more. Tell us the funniest thing your child has ever said in public.
