Article created by: Ieva Pečiulytė

“Kids say the darndest things” or so the saying goes, which is just one more thing new parents have to learn as their children develop the ability to speak. This is probably why we’ve all heard some of the most outrageous things ever come out of children’s mouths.

Someone asked “Tell me a time your kids embarrassed you so bad you felt like you could never go out in public again,” and people shared their most unhinged stories. We also got in touch with Sydney who posted the question online. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the best ones and be sure to add your own examples to the comments section below.
