Being a parent is great. Nurturing your little ones and seeing them grow into unique individuals is unlike any other feeling in the world.
However, there are times parenting becomes a little too overwhelming. When these innocent angels say the most unbelievable things and leave you speechless, or worse, embarrassed in public. Here are the 10 most embarrassing things kids ask and leave parents dumbfounded.
#1. How Are Babies Born?
While we do want our young ones to be curious and ask questions, their queries can at times get quite nerve-racking. Yes, it can get a lot worse from just the good old, ‘where do babies come from?’. Hence, it is better to be prepared for when the day comes.
#2. Is That Man Pregnant?
A parent shared her embarrassing experience online that how she dazed out when her 7-year-old-daughter pointed at a fat man in a grocery store and asked if he was pregnant. Five may be too small an age to understand how biology works but this child was certainly curious and did not shy away from asking.
#3. Are You Made Of Chocolate?
You may have already got the context from the header here. It is hard to explain human races to kids but what to do when they bluntly ask? A 4-year-old’s mother was left speechless when her son asked an African-American man if he was made of chocolate. She recalled that while the man laughed it off, she struggled with how to react at the moment.
#4. Did God Make Her Ugly?
One person shared an incident from her childhood; "my family is pretty religious. Anyway, when I was about 4 my mom brought me to the bank and put me up on the teller counter while looking through her purse. I looked at the lady and allegedly yelled 'Mom, I thought you said Jesus didn't make ugly people!'" What would you have said if you were the mother?
#5. Is That A Boy Or A Girl?
Looks can be deceiving and we can’t expect little kids to understand the world at their tender age. A 4 years old kid was tricked by the looks when he saw a lady with a full-grown mustache in public. Needless to say, the child was befuddled and had to ask his mother, ‘is that a boy or a girl?’
#6. Beard On Your Chest?
One online reader recalls his embarrassment when his niece saw him take off his shirt and pointing at his chest asked how come he had a beard there? For some, chest hair are a sign of masculinity but how do we explain this to our kids that it’s not a beard?
#7. Does God Watch Us In The Loo?
Teaching kids about religion can be a grueling task, especially when they hit you back with questions. You try to tell them about the omnipresence of God so they become good people, but their minds work in some other direction. This is what happened to Erika when her nephew asked her if God was watching her made pee-pee.
#8. Did You Eat The Baby?
A mother tells a funny incident that happened when she was pregnant with her second child and her first one asked her why she had a fat tummy. Her explanation that there was a baby in her belly give rise to more questions as it made the daughter wonder if she ate that baby. Don’t you think it is better to leave it that that than to get into the birds and the bees talk?
#9. Did You Poop Or Pee?
It can get embarrassing when our children try to be our parents like it did for one Samantha when her son asked her in a restaurant if she peed or pooped after she used a restroom at a restaurant. What was worse for her is that her son was so loud that half the people in the restaurant her him.
#10. Why Are Those Dogs Fighting?
It takes children to get a hold of things and we cannot blame them for it. So was the case when an innocent kid asked his father about why two dogs were fighting, when he saw them, “doing it”.
