So, I’m a good hooker. All of the other parents were dying laughing." — Marisol P., Orlando, Florida I politely declined, much to the amusement of the other shoppers." — Sam S., Roswell, New Mexico I was like, ‘What are you doing?’ and he cheerfully said, ‘I make it fireworks, yay!’ as he flung another handful of super absorbents in the air. I had to clean up 28 tampons from the shelves and the floor. So embarrassing." — Gina D., Saint Paul, Minnesota So classy." — Elaine H., Boise, Idaho More from CafeMom: ‘I Dated His Teacher’ & 11 Other Ways Moms Have Mortified Their Kids I unbuckled him and tried to find out where he was bleeding but couldn’t see anything. Finally he calmed down and I figured out that he had an erection and it was getting squished by the car seat buckle. Turns out my husband had explained how erections happen to him, hence his crying about the blood. He felt like the blood in his penis was getting crushed. Super awkward having an erection talk with my son in front of my grandmother though." — Melanie H., Lansing, Michigan They had the over-the-shoulder harnesses and I do have big boobs, but dang, kid, use your inside voice for questions like that! For the record, they did fit." — Becky N., Ankeny, Iowa In hindsight? SO FUNNY. At the moment? I wanted to die." — Anita G., Provo, Utah About three minutes into the scrimmage, he made a goal. I was happy for him, until he started doing the post-goal celebrations. He whipped his shirt off, started doing cartwheels on the field, and ran up the sideline yelling, ‘I OWNED that goalie. I OWNED HIM!’ The goalie was, no kidding, a tiny 6-year-old. I knew he was competitive, but this was like a whole new level. It was so embarrassing." — Catie B., Saint Paul, Minnesota Very proud moment for me." — Taylor R., Lincoln, Nebraska I talked to him about it and he said that, yes, he likes to show the girls his muscles and that he takes his shirt off ‘so they can see that I’m attractive.’ He’s 7. I’m embarrassed and afraid to think what is waiting for me when he hits the teen years." — Susie T., Norman, Oklahoma We were at a park and I told him it was time to go. He didn’t want to go, so he bolted. I was nursing his sister, so I had a baby attached to my boob as I started to chase him. He was screaming, ‘I don’t know you, I don’t want to go with you, you are a bad lady!’ as I tried to catch up with him. Then I realized the baby was crying too and I was basically running with a screaming infant and my boob hanging out, trying to catch a child who was claiming not to know me. I swear, I’m lucky I didn’t get arrested. We didn’t go back to the park for a long, long time." — Name withheld by request More from CafeMom: 10 Most Embarrassing Things Kids Say
