Kids Say the Unfunniest Things

 

Gingham Top Available at Zara (£12.99)

This incident reminded me of the TV show, where children would make funny comments in response to Micheal Barrymore’s questions (whatever happened to him?).

On one of our regular shopping trips (which usually consist of the husband rushing me in and out of every shop and the toddler kicking up a fuss in the pram), I decided to browse the makeup aisle calmly, ignoring all the irritable looks, from a very hungry and tired man (the husband).

My daughter (who is two) was sitting calmly, a nice change from the usual terrible tantrum demands we face every single time we go shopping (I want raisins/biscuits/crisp etc.). One staff member was casually stacking the shelves nearby minding his own business when my daughter pointed her chubby finger towards him and exclaimed ‘man.ugly’. Assuming I had misheard, I asked her to repeat herself. Still pointing, she shouted ‘MAN.UGLY’ (there was absolutely nothing wrong with the way he looked). Praying the man hadn’t heard I quickly shushed her to which she shouted even louder ‘Mummy MAN UGLY!’ At this point my husband and I were absolutely mortified. The staff member turned around and muttered ‘Charming!’ We apologised profusely secretly wishing the ground would swallow us up there and then. He was extremely generous claiming his children come out with worse things. I couldn’t believe she came out with such negative words especially since we foster a positive environment at home.

On a more positive note, how adorable is the gingham top available at Zara. Perfectly on trend with the gingham and frills!

Have your children ever embarrassed you in public?
