I’ve learned so many lessons from my children who aren’t afraid to tell it like it is. Their words, said with the utmost love & sincerity, often pack a truthful & humorous punch.

Here are a few of my favorites:
My 5 year old trying very hard to help me understand why I called her my other daughter’s name,“Mama, I know why you call me the wrong name. It’s 'cause your brain broke in two”.
My 5 year old says, “Mama, don’t sing; you’re embarassing me.” Hooray, here comes my 8 year old to the rescue. "You can sing all you want Mama; just warn us next time.
My 9 year old comes and lovingly pats me and lays
her head on my arm saying, “You’re a good woman Mama.”
As I bask in her compliment she continues, “you just get on
people’s nerves some times.”

What lessons have you learned from your children?
 
We were at the zoo with my 2 1/2 year old grandson who saw a man with a very large Afro hair do, he pointed and said, “Nana hair.” My wife has curly hair and I was laughing about this until he pointed to a very bald man and said, “Papa hair.” Kids just tell it like it is.
 
When I was a kid I embarassed my mom many times…

Once when she picked my up from day care I ran up to her to hug her and at the time I was at eye level with her crotch, and I looked up at her and said really loud, “Mommy, your dress stinks!”

Then at the grocery store, the cashier who was checking us out had on a lot of make-up and I said very loudly, “Mommy, she looks like a clown!”

I wish I could be a kid again, just to get away with those kinds of remarks!
 
I never had acne in high school, but it hit me hard in college. I always stressed to cover it up when I couldn’t treat it. A little boy I knew, about three and a half at the time pointed at my face puzzled and asked, “Why do you have mosquito bites all over your face?”

I guess I learned to have a sense of humor, and that maybe you really can’t cover up your problems!
 
Well, my kids are only 2 and 1 so I haven’t experienced this yet. I’m looking forward to it, though. Hopefully it won’t be too embarrassing. 😉

When I was younger - about 8 - my grandma was staying with us and she slept in my room with me. She had a bottle of Oil of Olay on the dresser. The commercials at the time talked about how it made you look younger. I asked her if she used it and when she said she did, I told her it didn’t work. :eek: :o
 
My youngest was sitting on my lap and we were reading a book. He looked up into my eyes lovingly and said, Mom, your neck looks like chicken skin, how come?

Once my oldest 2 started going “Beep, Beep, Beep, LOOK OUT! She’s backing up!” This was in response to my brand new spandex Nike running pants. I guess I should know better. Chicken skin and spandex don’t match.

Once while leading a whistle drill at track practice, I asked the little darlin’ first in line behind me “what’s all the giggling about back there?” He, without hesitation, told me the truth. He said, “Coach, we think you run like you are constipated.”

I almost bit through the whistle. “Aye, laddie, and I can keep up this constipated gate for a long, long, time.” I was cracking up inside.
 
Yes yes, yes, I have experience this public humiliation from my kids in the blessed childlike and loving way that they have!!!

However I can sense the tides turning. My oldest is 12 and he is starting to be embarrassed of me! Oh, so much fun I can have with that. 😃

Last week, however, I had a date to my house and my kids proceeded to tell him that I was a complete Curmudgeon ( making reference to my CA addictive behaviors). Well, of course this man is confused and has a whole new picture of me in his head. arrrggggg.
 
My mom was once picking out her Easter dress, and my little brother was with her. She got one she liked, and he told her, “That’s a nice dress, mommy.”

“Thank you!”

“Is it for Halloween?”
 
When my son was about 4, he walked up to me, patted me and said “mommy, you are just a little fat”.

Of course, the lines from kids I find the most charming are from various children who meet me in public (I have dwarfism) - they ask “Are you a little mommy”? Once a young girl told her friends to come look (pointing at me) cause there was a “phesant” 🙂
 
I was in Kmart one day with both of my boys. It was a busy day in the store, of course. I said to my boys that we were leaving and my oldest says, “Yeah, lets leave before the police come to arrest us!” There were some little old ladies just staring at me, like I did something wrong. :o

rooster hair???

Now that’s rooster hair; mine just sticks up in the morning.
 
Our 9 year old is still 4 months away from her 10th birthday but can’t wait to be double digits. When we went to a restaurant & were asked how old our children were my husband said 6 & 9. My daughter turned to him & said, “I’m 10” which prompted a look from the hostess. Even though we said in front of the waitress, “you won’t be 10 for a while now”, I’m sure the hostess felt we were trying to save money on our daughter’s meal. :tsktsk:
 
Every few months I go and have my hair colored (darker than natural), and then highlighted with light blond highlights. My 6-year-old-at-the-time looked at me when I returned from the hairdresser, gave me a bright big smile and said, “Mommy! You got your hair colored gray!”

But the worst thing she ever said in public was during Christmas season when she was around 3 years old. My husband and I were going to take her to see Santa and have her picture taken, but it was the same night as his company Christmas party. The owner takes all the men to a local pub, bar, 😦 and pays for everything. My husband was late coming home and I was ticked, and I must’ve made a nasty remark out loud because when I took my daughter to see Santa (yep, alone, just she and I), she sat on Santa’s lap and looked up. He looked at her and asked what she wanted for Christmas…and my daughter said, “I want my Daddy but he’s working at the stinking bar getting drunk.”

Penitent
 
After the recent birth of my second child I joined weight watchers. I came home from a meeting to tell my husband the good news that I was finally under 160. It was left at that.

Two weeks ago our favorite priest came over for lunch and my daughter comes running into the kitchen singing:

Guess who broke 160! Guess who broke 160!
Mommy did! Mommy did.

Sigh-watch out when you pray for humility.
 
These are all totally funny.

I am one of nine kids, and once when I was about four years old and the one causing the ruckus during mass (it was supposedly after communion, when everyone was silent and before the priest stands up), my mother picked me up and slung me on her hip as she began walking out of the pew. I started screaming, “PLEASE DON’T BEAT ME, MAMMY!”

My mother never laid a hand on me in her life, and she looked at me, horrified, as she made her way out to the gathering space.
Even my father never spanked us more than a light tap on the bottom, so to this day I don’t know where that comment came from, though I have heard the story plenty of times 🙂
 
last year when I arrived for the annual vist with the grandkids, the 5 yr old told me, “Grandma, mommy says we are not allowed to use the F word around you.”
“What word, Allison, you should not be saying that word to anybody!”
“She means ‘fat’, Grandma,” brother helpfully chimes in.
 
My Uncles did something like that to my Grandma. They had been cutting up through all of Mass, and she was walking them out of the church. They both dropped to the floor and she fell head over heels, lost her hat, showed her undergarments to everyone. She finished walking them out and then both of them got spanked. They had figured out exactly when to drop to cause her to have problems. My Grandma still says that it was very embarrassing.
 
when i was real young, don’t remember the age, my grandma took a bunch of us out for ice cream. so as we are in there eating the ice cream, i look to hear and say “grandma, why are you so fat”? so she looked at me a replied with “i ate too much ice cream when i was a little girl”.
