Parents Are Sharing The Most Embarrassing Things Their Kids Have Ever Said Or Done, And Honestly I'm Laughing My Butt Off

Yahoo29-06-2025
Recently, Reddit user FarmhouseRules posted to the popular ask subreddit to ask people, "What's the most embarrassing thing your kids have ever said or done?"
She shared her own story first, writing, "Once I was shopping at the grocery with my 5-year-old son in the cart. As we were going down the aisle we passed a woman going the other way. Right after we passed her, my son said, 'Mom that's the ugliest man I've ever seen.' I was mortified."

Other people shared some pretty legendarily embarrassing stories, too, and I was honestly cackling. Here are some of the absolute best:
1."I was at checkout in K-Mart with my then 5-year-old daughter. I was buying her purple marshmallow Peeps. She told the cashier that purple was her favorite color. I said she had a new favorite color every week. This embarrassed my daughter, who said loudly, 'Mom, you have a new favorite boyfriend every week!'"
"I was mortified and tried to assure everyone in line that I'd been with my boyfriend for three years."

2."'MY MOM LOVES COCK PORN.' (He meant popcorn.)"

3."My wife, my son, and I were at Disneyland. My son was 3 at this point. He had finished potty training just a few weeks prior to this. During potty training, we would use positive reinforcement, elling him that he was doing a good job, etc. etc. One of the things I told him was that he was pooping Iike a man now."
"So anyway, my wife and I both had to poop at the same time. And we both really had to go. There was no waiting happening here. We couldn't leave my son alone, so I took him with me. I picked the big stall so we would both have some room.
So I started to do my business, and my son loudly says, 'Ewww Daddy, that's a man poop daddy. That's a man poop.' I'm trying to get him to be quiet, but he just keeps going: 'Good job on the poop, Daddy. But Daddy, it smells. That sure is a man poop, Daddy.'
Everyone in the bathroom was snickering, and I was sitting there mortified.
It's hilarious now, but not so much at the time."

4."My 2-year-old son and I were in line at Kohl's and the woman behind me had vitiligo (a condition that causes the pigment in your skin to discolor, completely resulting in very blotchy skin). My son looked at her and gasped and said, 'Oh wow, I LOVE your polka dots!'"
"Fortunately, she laughed and was so kind and said, 'Why THANK YOU!' She was so gracious and what could have been embarrassing became such a sweet moment. Hilarious though."

5."We were at the zoo when my son was probably 5 or 6. He had run ahead to look at the zebras. He turned around and screamed, 'Mom, you won't believe how big this zebra's dick is!' I deeply considered walking past him with no acknowledgment."
—u/raven_darkseid
6."Took my 3-year-old in to work with me on a Saturday when the office was closed. My coworker was there. I introduced him to my daughter. She recognized his name from me always complaining about him, looked him in the eye, and asked him, 'Are you the one who doesn't know what he is doing?'"
"So embarrassing! He wouldn't talk to me for weeks."
—u/CatsRock25
7."We were on a trail in the Smoky Mountains and a park ranger with an eye patch was talking to us about bears. Right when we finished the conversation and started walking away, my son said, 'Mommy, we just talked to a pirate!'"
—u/sweetpea813
8."Not my kid, but it was said to me. I was riding the elevator up to the OB/GYN floor with a very pregnant woman and her about 3-year-old son. He looked at my belly and excitedly asked if I was going to have a baby, too. His mother was 14 shades of red with nowhere to hide! I told him no, I was just fat. He gave me a sad face and said, 'Well, next year.'"

9."When my oldest was about a year and a half old in the grocery store, he pointed to a baby and said 'ugly baby' clear as day and very loud."
—u/Slag_Queen_Tsunade
10."My son told my daughter that her penis fell off and that's why he was a boy and she was a girl. She was upset for weeks."
—u/Big-Kaleidoscope-192
11."When my son was little, we took him to mass with us. When the priest was consecrating the communion wafer, my son loudly and clearly said, 'Hey, I want one of those potato chips!'"

12."My son, bless his heart, waited until everyone had bowed their heads to pray but before the priest started the prayer, and in that moment of blessed silence, piped up 'I gotta poop!' as loud as he could."

13."I was waiting in the crowd for my number to be called at the deli counter with my 5-year-old. It was National Dairy Month, and the grocery store had a huge inflatable cow suspended from the ceiling above us. My daughter looked up and announced at the top of her lungs, 'Look, Mom, that cow has four penises!' The crowd roared."

14."My daughter announced to her whole class that girls get brains and boys get a penis. That was a whole parent/teacher conference."

We met my grandparents' neighbor, who I knew growing up, and she is about 90. When she walked away, my son said, 'She's really nice. It's too bad she'll be dead soon.'"

17."When my son was 3, we lived in a pretty rough neighborhood. His favorite thing was just riding his tricycle up and down the sidewalk, completely safe. One day I heard him greeting people in the manner that people greeted him when they walked by. He said, 'Hey, motherfucker!'"

19."This is about me at 5 years old in 1975. My mom used to tell this story. My dad at that time liked to listen to Deanna Durbin records on the living room stereo. Her picture was on the fronts of the albums, and he liked to tell me he was listening to his 'girlfriend' singing."
"My mom took me shopping at a department store. We were in the elevator when a lady came in. I looked at her and said, 'You look just like my dad's girlfriend!'
My mom said she was really embarrassed. The lady gave her a funny look."
—u/Alman54
20."My kid was 5-ish and had started calling hot dogs weiners. At the grocery store, she said, very loudly, 'Mommy likes wieners!'"

21."Our oldest was about 3, my wife was pregnant with our second, and we were at dinner with friends who had a toddler in a high chair. Said toddler had food everywhere!"
"My child looked at me and asked if our baby was going to be like that baby because 'this one makes me gag.'
There is no way out of that awkwardness!"
—u/st_nick5
22."About 20 years ago when our son was 2, we were having a small dinner party with friends at our home, and he went into our bedroom closet and found one of my wife's (adult) toys. He came running into the living room and started banging it against the coffee table."

Seth Meyers reveals concern about his show being canceled: 'I would worry about myself'

Seth Meyers has some concerns about the future of "Late Night." The comedian, 51, spoke about his fears that his NBC show could be canceled in a conversation with Dax Shepard on the "Armchair Expert" podcast released on Monday, July 28. Meyers, who hosts "Late Night" after Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show," noted it's a precarious time for late-night television. "I shifted from fearing that I wouldn't be good enough, and now, my fear is weirdly more outside of my control, which is at some point, the ecosystem might not support it," he said. "I guess that's better than thinking it's your fault, but it is weird to not feel any control over it." Meyers continued, "This isn't the best time to be doing what I'm doing, but at least I got in." The "Saturday Night Live" alum also said he would "worry about myself mental health-wise" if the show were to be canceled. But he noted that he "put a lot of thought into diversifying my skill set" by hosting podcasts and continuing to perform stand-up, so he's in a good position if the show ends. "There's no one entity that can take everything away at once, and I think that's the scariest situation to be in," he said. Jimmy Kimmel irate over Colbert cancellation, criticizes CBS ending 'Late Show' The podcast with Meyers was released in the wake of CBS' shock decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Rather than finding a new host, the network has opted to end the show entirely in May 2026. CBS has maintained the move was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night." While Meyers' show airs on NBC, which does not have the same parent company as CBS, the news has sparked questions about whether other late-night television shows will face the same fate. Stephen Colbert is out at CBS. Is all of late-night TV officially doomed? Meyers reacted to the "Late Show" cancellation in a July 18 Instagram post, writing that "for as great a comedian and host as he is," Colbert "is an ever better person." "I'm going to miss having him on TV every night, but I'm excited to can no longer use the excuse that he's 'too busy to hang out' with me," he joked. Meyers later showed support for Colbert by appearing on "Late Show" in a sketch alongside fellow TV hosts Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver and Jon Stewart. Meyers isn't the only host who has been mulling his show's future. In a July 17 episode of his podcast, released before the "Late Show" axing was announced, Stewart answered a question from a listener about whether "The Daily Show" could be canceled. The show airs on Comedy Central, which is owned by CBS parent company Paramount. Stewart said he was unsure but speculated that Comedy Central would keep his show due to a dearth of other original programming. "Without 'The Daily Show,' Comedy Central is kind of like muzak at this point," he said. "I think we're the only life that exists on a current basis, other than 'South Park.' It's the only thing on there. I like to think we bring enough value to the property. … But that may not be their consideration."

NBC's ‘Dateline' hitting the road for a live true crime show — and maybe a new revenue stream

The victims may be dead, but NBC's 'Dateline' is going live. NBC News announced Tuesday that the cast of its popular long-running true crime newsmagazine will gather onstage Sept. 28 at the Pinnacle, a new music venue in Nashville. Ticket-holding fans will see correspondents Josh Mankiewicz, Blayne Alexander, Keith Morrison, Dennis Murphy, Andrea Canning and anchor Lester Holt in panel discussions and Q&A sessions. There will also be criminal justice experts on hand for onstage demonstrations. The Nashville session — which will also commemorate the 3,000th episode of the program first launched in 1992 — will be a test run, according to Liz Cole, senior executive producer for 'Dateline.' A strong turnout could lead to more dates and become additional source of revenue for the program. (NBC News has not revealed prices for tickets, which go on sale Aug. 4.) 'We realized that the anniversary was coming up, and it's such a big number we wanted to do something special to mark the occasion,' Cole said in an interview. 'This seemed like a great way to experiment with the format and go out and meet with our 'Dateline' community in real life.' The television news audiences are shrinking as viewers move from traditional appointment viewing to on-demand streaming. But on-air personalities, whether they are covering politics or true crime, have devoted fans willing to pay to see them up close. The revenue news shows can generate from live events is probably limited as journalists and anchors need the time to report stories or prepare a nightly program, making it challenging to book lengthy tours. (The 'Dateline' correspondents are frequently on the road for their stories.) 'It's quite an accomplishment getting everyone in one place at one time,' Mankiewicz said in a recent interview. 'That usually only happens here when we're taking the team picture or we're kicking off the new season.' Networks with well-known franchises are looking for ways to expand their reach beyond the viewers tuning in each day. Every little bit helps. 'Dateline' has been doing it with podcasts — one of which will carry an audio version of the Nashville show — which have attracted younger viewers who don't watch on TV as often. Podcast versions of 'Dateline' TV episodes regularly populate the Apple rankings. But live events can help create a deeper connection with viewers, as other outlets have discovered. MSNBC, which will soon be leaving the NBC News family to be a part of the Comcast spin-off company Versant, sold out a 4,000-seat venue in Brooklyn last year for its first 'MSNBC Live' gathering. 'MSNBC Live 25' will return in October with a top ticket price of $1,086.05 for an evening session at the Manhattan Center's Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. The price includes an orchestra seat and a VIP dinner event with hosts Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki and Stephanie Ruhle in conversation with special guests. Conservative-leaning Fox News has tapped into its loyal audience annually with its Patriot Awards show that features Sean Hannity and other anchors honoring citizens who 'dedicate themselves to their communities with inspirational acts of courage and patriotism.' A Fox News representative said the event, which is streamed on the network's Fox Nation site, has sold out every year since its inception in 2019. In the fall last year, the program honored President Trump at the 2,242-seat Tilles Center in Long Island, N.Y., where the top ticket price was $669. In March, NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo joined ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith and former Fox News star Bill O'Reilly for an event billed as 'Three Americans Live.' The trio regularly debate on Cuomo's prime-time program for the Nexstar-owned news channel. No further dates have been booked since their one appearance in Westbury, N.Y. Cole has seen evidence that the 'Dateline' crew can draw a crowd on their own. The correspondents are a top attraction when they appear at CrimeCon, an annual gathering of true crime fanatics. Many of those fans drive hours from around the country for the weekend event, which will be held in Denver later this year. The $1,800 Platinum VIP level tickets are sold out. (The dress code is 'respectful casual' to discourage cosplaying.) 'I love the viewers because they always have questions and observations that I was not expecting, and I see that every year at CrimeCon,' Mankiewicz said. 'I also experience it regularly at America's airports, and I'm expecting that in Nashville.'
