That was me at the age of 4 on a crowded rush hour bus during the run up to christmas. Aparently everyone in the bus stopped talking to hear my mum's answer. So, what's the most embarrasing thing you ever asked in a big loud voice as a child? (Not necessarily for you, but for the unfortunate adult that had to answer the question) --Colin Mackay--

Probably was 6 or so. I was sitting in the back of the car while we where driving through a hooker neighbourhood. Looking at those "nice colourful lights on the houses" and stated that I also wanted those lights once I got my own house. :-O ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] "Hey, Benny, can I pour you a beer?"

Mine is similar to Wouters. My dad and I were walking along the main street of the city to the movies and I looked down a side street. There were all these colourful lights and this big neon sign in the shape of a windmill. Alongside it said "XXX Entertainment, fun and games". Woohoo I thought (not knowing what XXX meant), turned to my dad and said "Can't we go to the windmill place instead of the movies?" The other people at the intersection must have wondered just how my dad was raising me. I still blush whenever I drive down that street and past that windmill. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Marc Clifton wrote: "organically fed captivity free regurgitated bee nectar" (honey) on dieting.

Off topic but I remember being taken by my mother to Williamstown Beach (Melbourne) as a very young child. It might have been 1959 :) Anyway, until very recently there was a squash court on the corner of Ferguson Street and Melbourne Road (it's now an RSL club). I remember reading the sign over the building. Squash Court. I think I knew what a court was. I definitely knew what squashing was. I can remember being very scared as I connected the two concepts and imagined it was a place where criminals were squashed. Funny now, of course, but as a 5 year old I truly believed that criminals would be squashed. Perhaps this explains why I have a perfect police record (as in absolutely no trouble with the police ever) :) Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net "I killed him dead cuz he was stepping on my turf, cutting me out of my bling the same way my ho cuts cookies, officer" "Alright then, move along" - Ian Darling, The Lounge, Oct 10 2003

I guess the most embarassing question I ever asked either of my parents would have to be about the female anatomy. When I was about 4, my cousin (she was 3 or 4) used to run around outside completely naked despite her parents' every attempt to discourage the act (good thing we lived in the countryside). Anyway, I, the confused 4 year old boy, asked my mother what happened to her penis. So mom gave me a straight answer, suitable for a 4 year old child of course.

This reminds me of the old joke [WARNING this may offend your religious feelings) Jesus gets laid the first time and the girl runs out after 30 seconds. After asking Jesus why she ran out he said he saw between her legs, and helped her by adding the missing part.

Unfortunately I have no story to rival the embarressment my brother caused my father as a 4 year old. We had just moved to Johannesburg, and my Dad thought it would be a nice idea to take us to the zoo there. I seem to remember it being quite crowded around the elephant enclosure (I was 6), when the male walked up to us. At this point my brother squeaked out, in a volume only a young child can achieve "Wow - it's even bigger than my Daddies!" :laugh: :-O :laugh:. My folks sheperded us away from the area quickly...

I don't get why you've been downvoted for that.... well I do, but it just goes to show some people use voting because they are too dumb to understand the situation and too scared to use their mouths. :(

I dont remember this event but it has gone down in the annals of my families history as a classic childhood moment. Picture the scene, me (9 years old), my sister (5 years old), my mother, and a load of strangers on a bus. Bus People : Sister (loudly): Mum, what does gay mean Mum : Well, hmm, well, *cough*, hmm, well Bus People : Me : It means that somebody is really happy Mum : Bus people : Me : But if you want to know the other meaning you will have to ask mum!

When I was six years old, my family was on a holiday on the east coast in New Brunswick. One night we all went out for dinner to this really 'exclusive' restaurant. It was supposedly the place to go, since it was originally a barn that was built back in the 1800's and had been renovated as a restaurant. Lots of ambiance, as they say. Anyways after ordering and having our hor'd d'oevres placed on the table, in a voice that could be heard through out the barn, I announced "Hey look up there, there's a family of mice". Sure enough everyone dropped their cutlery and looked up in the rafters to see about a dozen mice scurrying around in the woodwork. We never stayed for our entrees. :) Chris Meech It's much easier to get rich telling people what they want to hear.
