What is the most embarrassing thing that you have been through

I've had my then 2 year old son ask at a family meal "Why is Nanny is growing a moustache?" Horrendous!

Same son at a Pizza Hut asking "Why is that woman so fat?" When I tried to shut him up and look the other way, he shouted "No Mummy, you're looking at the wrong table, THAT woman there" accompanied with a lot of finger pointing.

Best story although it genuinely did not happen to me but a "cool" friend of mine. He'd arranged to meet a big group of friends at a bus stop for a big night out. Wanted to look his best so decided at the last minute to leave his glasses at home.

Came round the corner, saw the bus already at the stop and raced towards it, shouting and waving at everyone to "hold the bus, hold the bus". When he got closer he realised that everyone was still stood at the stop laughing at him and the big, red bus was actually a big, red fire engine. Priceless.

Oh just remembered another one that happened to my sister.

The health visitor came round when she had her newborn daughter and so she made her a cup of tea and stared discussing all the usual about weight and feeding etc. Then she mentioned that her baby's belly button cord bit was hanging by thread and catching on the nappy so could the health visit take a look to make sure it wasn't getting infected. The lady had a look but it had disappeared, obviously come off of it's own accord without my sister noticing so that was the end of that.

When the health visitor got to the end of her cup of tea she said "Oh" and there in the bottom of the mug was the missing umbilical stump.

My sis was mortified but the health visitor just shrugged and said "I've had worse" and left.

This happened to my OH's dad years ago - he and his four-year-old daughter are queuing in a very busy chippy on a Friday night, when she turns to him and loudly says "Dad, can I have a look at your willy?"

Ok my moment of shame, I went on a long weekend away with my husband leaving kids with their gran, obviously being a weekend alone, we took certain bedrom necessities. Well when we left there was one left so I popped it in my hand bag. A few weeks later I went and got an implant and totally forgot about my 'other' protection in my bag.

Well a couple of months later I took DD (3) to my friends house who I hadnt seen for a while, was having a chat and a cup of tea and didnt notice DD having a poke around in my bag, 2 seconds later she pulls out the condom and holds it up saying 'mummy whats this? can I open it?'

Friend nearly fell off the sofa laughing, and all I could think to say was 'well its good to be prepared'

oh dear i've thought of another one, not embarassing for me but my mother didnt know what to do with herself

When I was small my mum couldnt drive so we used to take the bus, now my mother has been a yoyo dieter since before I was born (32 years ago). We were sat on the bus and I dont think I was over 4 as I wasnt at school (according to mum). Well a rather large lady got on the bus and as she was paying the driver I turned to mum, pointed at the lady and said 'Mum she could do with going to Weight Watchers with you' in the kind of carrying voice only a chaild can have

According to mum she couldnt look at this poor woman and dragged me off the bus as quickly as she could

I went to buy OH a Lyle and Scott tshirt from boutique in town, browsed around couldn't see any of the brand so asked the shop assistant if they did Tate & Lyle - he told me to go to Tesco! Mortified!

When my now 21 year old cousin was just 3, my aunt and uncle sat down with him to explain that mummy had a baby in her tummy and he was going to have a baby brother or sister soon.

That afternoon, whilst at the supermarket with his dad, a rather large middle aged man walked past and my cousin exclaimed in an extremely loud voice "LOOK DADDY - THAT MAN'S GOING TO HAVE A BABY TOO!"

i remember reading a thread like this a couple of years ago and laughing loudly at work and everyone asking what i was laughing at, i wish i could find it. The one i laughed at most though was along the lines of (i think, apologises if it is you and i have got this wrong) A person can't remember if it was male or female went to meet the future parent in laws, anyway they needed to go to the loo went upstairs and while they were peeing felt the need for a poo :eek: had a poo and for some reason the toilet wouldn't flush so they fished the log out of the loo and threw it out of the window, anyway after going back downstairs realised that he had thrown it on to the conservatory roof where they were drinking their tea !! haha i've probably got that completely wrong but i distinctly remember the poo and the conservatory roof, if anyone can find the link can they post it as i remember nearly falling off of my chair laughing at some of them.
