We stopped at a rest stop during a car trip. My son was around 7 or 8 I think. He was begging to get something out of one of those gum ball/trinket machines. One had plastic rings and another had baseball and football cards in them. You know worthless junk that ends up in the trash or under the car seat. He wanted a sports card. During that time several professional athletes were on the news being accused for various crimes. You try to shelter as much as you can but well kids hear things.
He said loudly, "I sure hope I don't get a sex offender!" I got some dirty looks on that one.
5 year old daughter has a couple of the teachers in her school pregnant at the time so one Saturday we were outside in the front yard and a neighbor(with somewhat of a beer belly��) and his wife walks by and stops to exchange greetings. My daughter, says, Hi XX, are you pregnant, maybe twins?...hehehe I didn't know what to say, except to apologize and tell my daughter off and tell her that you know only women can have babies.. then she says, "but you said, only women have breasts too, XX also has breasts"... DH just dragged her inside...hahaha. His wife on the other hand was having a ball and was telling her husband, "you see why I've been begging to to go to the gym, so children don't think you are a pregnant woman"

I've posted this one in here before, so forgive me if you've seen it.
We were in K-Mart and the speaker went off with a lady saying my full name and saying my 4 year old son was at the customer desk because I WAS LOST. I had to walk up there with everyone standing and watching to see a mom who had gotten lost in the store. I could've died and when I asked why he said I was missing instead of him, he said he knew where he was. He's 40 and I still get after him for that.
That has actually become the norm in many stores, amusement parks, etc. to say that the parent is lost. IT is supposed to be reassuring to the child.
I have another one.. Funny after the fact but totally embarrassing at the time. DH is pretty good with voices, so we would play with the kids and he would different characters with voices like Mufasa (lion king) and he says his name is daddy lion king, and daddy king Kong, daddy pig (Pepa Pig) etc. So I was at the park with the kids one day and one of girls was finally able to do the most difficult monkey bars very well and she asked me to take a picture and send to daddy and I said ok.
My 3 year soon piped up and said, "which daddy" and I was like, silly, you only have one daddy, and he shouts, no, we have 5 and proceeds to list out their names at the top of his lungs, the park was full.. So you could see quite a few people moving away from us, physically any mentally. Thankfully when he listed, daddy pig, my girls state doing Pepa Pig voice, fighting over who was Pepa and who was Suzy Sheep any my son was George. Then some of the parents start laughing and figured out that the"daddies" were characters rather than me sleeping with 5 men at the same time
Saw this on another forum and thought it would make a fun thread
When have your kids embarrassed you in public?
I'll tell you about the time I embarrassed my mother to a high degree. We were entering the home of a friend to have dinner, when I let out a very loud and rude noise. You know how mothers often prompt their kids to say things like, "Thank you", "Pardon me", etc., by saying the words themselves and expecting the child to repeat them. So my mother said, "Well, excuse me!". But I said nothing and the hosts looked at her, thinking that she was the one who had done it. I was barely able to keep from laughing out loud.
When we left, she really went at me, saying that I'd better not ever dare to humiliate her like that again. But my father thought it was funny and told her that after that, she'd better let me speak for myself.

Many years ago we moved into our new house with an extended family member (adult, my age) and her 2 kids, plus me, hubby and our 2 kids. She was moving in with us to escape a bad situation and it so happened we were moving into our new house at the time so we all moved in at the same time.
The neighbors were really weird with us, besides one older couple. Years later the older man let it slip that the neighbors had thought we were a polygamous family! His wife got mad he told me LOL. I wish they had told us from the beginning, I could have...like, I don't know, wore a shirt saying we weren't?
