As we enter yet another national lockdown, thanks to the corona virus; today’s post is intended to cheer everyone up.
A daytime television programme mentioned a child in Scotland who took what she thought was hand sanitiser to school: It was in fact a bedroom lubricant that her teacher handed back to the embarrassed mother at the end of the school day.
Another parent said that she was playing eye-spy with her daughter as a way to entertain her during a day out.
The mother said “Something beginning with F ( it was a flip-flop) the child looked around and said “I know, fat man” whilst pointing at the said person.
A girl who often mixed her words and letters up shouted cock porn ( pop corn) while waiting in a cinema queue.
My youngest son embarrassed me when we were at a local attraction; we were watching a demonstration of sheep wool spinning. The man giving the talk chose my son to go up to help him; just before that I had told him to sit still . During the demonstration he said in a loud voice “My mum doesn’t know how to look after me properly”
Everyone looked in my direction making me go red in the face.
Has your child ever embarrassed you? Please share any tales to put a smile on our faces during these challenging times.
As always questions, comments and topic suggestions are welcome.
Until next time.

More times than I can even count. The one that jumps out at me right now is when my daughter asked a particularly acne stricken check out kid what was all over his face. Poor guy #KCACOLS
Ha!Thanks for sharing, Jeremy
Love your son’s comment.One that I recall is in kindy, the kids had to draw a picture and write why they loved their mum for Mother’s Day, and these were displayed in the class room at parent teacher. Everyone loved their mum because she was a great mum, pretty or read to them. My kid wrote “I love my mum because she takes me to Red Rooster” (an Aussie version of KFC). Still cracks me up…#ParentPower
Brilliant, thanks for sharing, Lydia
Haha, many times, I have 5 kids so I’ve had lots of embarrassing moments. From telling someone that I affectionately call him “little jerk” (which I did not) to laughing at his grandmother while she was walking up to the door saying she was running in slow motion, I have 20 more tales just like these. 3 out 5 have the kind of mouths that you never know what is going to come out!
Thanks for sharing, Portia

Great post, my 4 yr old made an announcement in our local Asda the other day ‘don’t forget wine mummy, you like wine it’s your favourite!’ #KCACOLS

Kids do seem to have an amazing ability for embarrassing us just at the right moment. Thanks for cheering me up and thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time
That was my intention, Jade, thanks for stopping by
Iām getting to the stage where I can now embarrass mine back… revenge š #parentpower
Revenge is sweet, isn’t it, Karen? Thanks for sharing
We’ve had comments about people’s weight or appearance, a few tantrums at inopportune moments and other times that have made me cringe. Good to look back on and laugh! Thanks for linking up with #parentpower
Oh, yes, Laura the dreaded embarrassing temper tantrums, had a few of these too
Oh my! I’m embarrassed for the hand sanitiser mum too – you’d never live that one down! #KCACOLS
It is quite funny though, isn’t it? Thanks for your comment
