When my daughter was very small, my college-age brother-in-law took her to the grocery store. She was sitting in the cart, and some young women stopped to fuss over her. She said, very loudly, "Uncle Fred! Look at the pretty girls! Do you like them? Do you want to kiss them?"

My three year old son was obsessed with his body sounds. When the family went out to McDonalds for lunch, right in the middle of eating his hamburger, in the middle of a packed McDonald's, he yelled out, "I just farted!" My husband, his older brother and I all looked at him, not quite knowing how to respond. Few seconds later, he shouted proudly, "I just farted AGAIN!"

This happened to my sister...her children are about 14 months apart. They are grown now, but when they were younger they were quite a handfull. One Sunday in church, her daughter needed to use the restroom. Her son was asleep in her lap and she thought it would be okay for the five year old to go by herself since the restroom was just outside the sanctuary and the church was small. Around the time it should have taken my niece to return, my sister hears screaming coming from the hallway. Her daughter could not get the restroom door to open. So, quickly my sister jumps up to run out and rescue her daughter. What she didn't realize was before my nephew fell asleep he had untied my sister's skirt. So, as she is running out her skirt drops off about half-way out of the room. She told me she was so happy she listened to our mother's advice that "a proper young lady always wears a slip."

These are really funny. Good way to start the morning. Everyone had a barf story and it reminded me of another one. We went to Dave and Busters one rainy day. My son was about 10 months old. As we were walking around my looked so cute so I grabbed him and pecked him on the mouth (as I do often) when all of a sudden I tasted warm formula. He spit up on and partially in my mouth! I immediately started spitting on the floor while everyone stared at me. My son was clean as all of the spit up went on my face and mouth. I ran to the bathroom and washed out my mouth. I felt a little queasy afterwards becasue it was so gross!

He also loves to say "daddy", he even calls me Daddy. So, every now and then when we go out in public, he will look at a random man and yell "Daddy!". They look at me like I'm searching for a daddy for him or something!

This one is funny. I just gave birth and my sister-in-law and nephew came to the hospital to visit me and the new baby.
Ariana my daugther (4 years old) grabs Tommy (my nephew) and shows him the baby." look my baby brother Tommy!" she says.
After she shows me to him saying: " Look my mom! Look her stomach. Looks like she got more babies inside right Tommy? Her stomach still so big! Looks like is another baby uh?"
I was laughing so hard and I explain to her that I just had the baby and it takes a little while for my stomach to get back . But she look at me like... Yeah right!!!! LOL

I've had my share but two that come to mind is once I was in Home Depot's paint dept holding my son who was about 12 months. He was extra cranky that day and as I patted his back to comfort him, i felt that familiar heaving muscle contraction thing going on. In a flash I spun him around away from me (I was wearing a nice casmere sweater) and he projectile vomitted all over an older man's back that was bending over. It wasn't funny at the time but damn it is now!

Another time i was in a supermarket with my very talkative and inquisitive daughter who must have been around 3 at the time. There was a "woman" (I'm still not 100% sure to this day) standing next to us in line and my daughter said in an extremely loud voice, "Daddy, is that a man or a woman??".

I was in one of those enormous, indoor play spaces with my oldest three -- this was before my youngest kids were born, when my now 10-year-old son, who was then about 5, came stumbling out of the ball pit, saying he didn't feel well. I gathered him up into my arms and he hugged me, and then threw up alllll over me. Then he started crying. Other adults in the area moved away from my barf-covered self, and I tried to reassure him. "It's OK," I told him over and over. After a few minutes, he stopped crying and asked me, "It's OK?" "Yes, yes, it's OK," I said. And he went, "Ok!" and then THREW UP ON ME AGAIN. My mother in law was there, and she could not stop laughing...

Mine was when my son was 3 and we stopped in the AM at the bagel shop to get him a bagel before PreSchool. After ordering the bagels, I asked him if he wanted a special cookie too for his lunch box that day, and he said No. I found that Odd, and asked if he was feeling OK. He said Yes.
Well, :10 later while paying the cashier, he BARFED all over himself, me, and it hit a woman's feet in line wearing flip flops!
I ALMOST DIED!
So I asked if I could use their restroom- which we ran to, and it was occupied!
SO I rushed him outside and tried my best to clean him up and brought us home.
He threw up again on the way home too.
I felt so bad for him!!! And I felt so bad for the BAGLEL SHOP WORKERS!
The next day I brought in a half dozen roses for each of the ladies behind the counter.
They had to clean up his barf at 8am.

Other than my kids calling fat old guys with beards SANTA!! AND POINTING, the above is my most embarrassing moment.

I have a similar story, although my little one was much younger. I was at the grocery store with my daughter when she was about 2 or 3 weeks old. I was wearing a loose halter top with a built in bra and carrying her in a sling. We were almost done shopping and she was getting a little fussy. I started to hurry so that I could get her out to the car to feed her when she leaned forward, yanked my shirt down and helped herself to a little snack.
Thank goodness it was in the middle of the afternoon so the only other people there were other moms.

Now that she's older she just yells "HEY!" at people, she likes to see them turn around (she's nine months). It's not horribly embarrassing, but it does get a little bit sometimes (like when she does it non-stop for 15 minutes while we are in line at the post office).

I have had a few but I think the funniest may have been when my parents came to town and we were out at a restaurant. It is an Italian restaurant and we got there at the end of the early bird dinner time so the place was still filled with senior citizens. My son startd getting out of control in the high chair so I pulled him out and had him on my lap. He began to get crazy squirmy and I was wearing a tube top with a built in bra. Before I knew it, he had pulled down my top! My mom grabbed my son and I managed to duck under the table while I pulled my top back up but it wasn't before some of the old men caught themselves a peep! When I came up from under the table, there were a few old men still looking my direction and smiling!! I have not worn a tube top out with my son again!
