What is the funniest thing your infant/toddler child has ever done in public?

[jsalba]

Hoping this will bring in some funny tales about children and the things they do.

Unfortunately, I can't contribute as I don't have any children as of yet... but I'm looking forward to hearing your stories.

Last year around Christmas, When I was 7 mos pregnant I was very brave lugging my angelic 3year old son and my little demonic 16mos darling daugter. My son really wanted to go and see Santa so I thought what the heck I'll go get their picture taken. It'll be really cute...So we wait in this endless line and surprisingly they are both very well behaved, usually one is acting up but not this time. So we finally get our chance to go and see Santa my son is so excited he is dancing around and he's actually getting my daughter excited about seeing Santa (even though she had no idea about Santa) So up Eric goes on Santa's lap telling him all about his christmas list I go to set my little belezubub on his lap and no sooner did I set her down she clocked him right across the face. So then my horrified 3yo yells as loud as he could "mom did you see that Addi hit Santa...she ain't getting NO PRESENTS" I couldn't believe it. I could have died right there. Thank God the Santa we had has a really good sense of humor.

ericamomof3,
I just read that your last baby was born on leap year. If you go to this website [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] you can get a free stuffed animal frog.

By the way, my name is also Erika. I just had my third baby September 8,2000. The other 2 are almost 7 and almost 2.

I can tell you something my daughter said that I find pretty funny. We were at a Super Wal-Mart, about a year ago. I was watching the checker scan all the items and Manda, then 5 years old, was looking around kind of bored. Then she found a penny on the floor. "Look, Mommy, look! I found a penny!" She was so excited. The checkout lady said "Wow! Was it on head or tails when you found it?"

Can you guess her response?

She just looked at the lady and said "No, it was on the floor."

Apparently every single checker had dog ears because they all heard her and it got SO loud with laughter. The whole time, my Amanda is thinking "geez, what a stupid checker"!

Now for my son, who is only 3 years old. This happened just two months ago, again at Wal-Mart. We were walking down the rows getting our groceries, when my son started singing that old disco song "Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah yeah...." He was shaking his stuff and walking down the aisle like a little funky chicken (actually doing a sort of chicken walk). But the funniest part is that he didn't have the words QUITE right. Apparently he'd heard the song on the radio but misunderstood what they were singing. So as he is walking down the aisle doing his funky chicken dance, he is singing, just as loud as he can "Shake your boobies, shake your boobies, yeah yeah!!" I could have just died. I was mortified. But looking back on it now, I can laugh.

My daughter has recently been potty-trained. Now, each trip to a public restroom is an experience.
She talks through the entire process LOUDLY.

"Momma, I'm gonna poo-poo!"
"Look there's my poo-poo. More poo-poo. Another poo-poo. Look!"
"Ewww! Someone poo-pooing. Stinky. Ewww. Yuck."
"Momma, you pee-peed. Now wipe! Good job!"
"Momma, that woman didn't wash hands. Hey, wash your hands!"

When my 5 year old son was 3 he deceided to pee in the church parkinglot.............

When my son was 4, he used to sing everytime he was sitting on the toilet. We were at AAA one day, talking with a travel agent, when he went to the restroom. Everything in the agency was pretty quiet, except for the sound of my son singing in the bathroom at the top of his lungs. Everyone kept looking at us and laughing.

Congrats on your *new* baby I already did the leapfrog thing they sent an outfit and a baby Tad which was really cool. When you have 3 kids so close you don't get as many visitors or gifts so it was nice that Bryan has something of his OWN...lol

I was telling my husband about this post and he reminded me of something our son did when he was a baby. It actually embarrased me more than anyone. He was about 6 or 7 mos and we attempted to go out for dinner w/him. I was breastfeeding him still so I thought I was prepared w/my nursing shirt and little head cover thingie. So we are in this steakhouse in Texas and we are ordering and I'm attempting to feed him and he is refusing to have anything over his head so I figure no big deal w/the nursing shirt no one can tell it has a flap positioned in just the right place. We get our drinks and I notice a guy at the table across from us is staring at me. Eric had the *flap* up in the air for all to see my boob. Another moment in my life w/children that could have put me under *sigh*

my daughter peed in the front yard this summer. just pulled down her pants and went. I decided to just "not" see her do it!

I don't have any kids, but I have a lot of nieces and nephews. When Rodney was around 3 1/2 or 4 years old, he was in church with his mother. That day instead of giving a sermon, the priest played a tape of the bishop giving a sermon. Rodney sat there looking all around, and then, loud enough for several pews around him to hear, said, "Mommy, IS THAT GOD talking???" When he was only about 2, he was in church and watched as the priest drank the last of the wine from a chalice. As the priest set the chalice down, Rodney said, "All Gone!" Even the priest laughed.

My older son has always had a thing about blondes (go figure, no blondes in our family - I'm probably the closest with red hair).

When he was almost 3, we were in Florida & we were waiting on a minibus to show up, and along comes this really tall, gorgeous blonde. He walked straight up to her and tugged on her shorts. When she leaned down to see what he wanted, he looked up at her with his big puppy dog eyes and said "Would you please come home with me & sit on the end of my bed?"

I turned so red, so did his sister - I don't think we've ever been so embarrassed in our entire life. The girl turned red too & started laughing, but he didn't want to let her go - even when the minibus showed up.

Now that he's started getting interested in girls, we've been asking him if he's off to Miami to go track down the blonde. Of course he gives me "the look" (if you have kids, you know what I mean), but as my husband just remarked the other night, he's still only interested in blondes.

My son is 3 and told Santa that for Christmas he wants Santa to "go with George Bush to punch the monsters in the nose and in the turban"....of course he says it all animated about it too...waving his fist in the air and making a mean face...

I was so embarrassed...hopefully Santa doesn't think we are bad people for telling our son what a turban was -- or that he thinks we told him all people with turbans are bad. He just asked one day when we were watching the news what "that man" (Osama) had on his head and we said a turban.

So we had to tell him that not all turbans are bad...now he is really confused...and so are we!! No one said this parenting stuff was easy! You just never know how a child is going to take something and make it something else!

Another time was when we were on vacation in September and my husband took him to the potty - he comes out and screams at the top of his lungs "Mommy - I made a chocolate poopy in the potty". People were laughing -- but some people weren't. They are such characters, aren't they??
