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--

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.

I'm surprised you've not heard of them. Anne Summers is a High Street "Adult" shop - they've been around since the 1970s I think... I see I've spawned another quote too. :rolleyes: Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

Well, this isn't as funny as some of the other's I've read ... but it's what I've got. When I was 9, my family moved from Georgia to Miami. In a conversation with my Father, I asked where we were going to live in "His ami". He said, "No son, it's Miami" ... well, only being 9, and the scholar that I was, I thought he meant MYami. So, as the conversation proceeded ... I said, "Yes, I know it's YourAmi". Again, trying to correct me my Father said, "No Douglas, it's called Miami, M-I-A-M-I". I was now very upset and kept saying "I know it's YourAmi, why are we going?" I can only imagine what the people around us thought of that conversation. Eventually, my Father wrote it down and explained it all to me. I lived in "hisami" for 15 years ... ;P D.

This also reminded me of another one, but not of me, but rather my 16 year old daughter when she was only just learning to speak. We would go and visit my mother and father and refer to them as "Grandma and Grandpa Meech". Well little Emma didn't quite catch things quite right and for some time referred to my mother as "Gramma Gramma" and referred to my father as just "Meech". It took us months to figure out why she always called my dad just plain 'Meech'. :-D Chris Meech It's much easier to get rich telling people what they want to hear.

At the hospital having an EKG done (about 5 yrs). I knew what electro meant - they were going to electrocute me! Soooo, I broke free, ran through the hospital screaming bloody murder until restrained and "educated":-O. We were at McDonalds, and my parents asked my little sister if she wanted an ice cream Sundae. She started crying "But I want it now!!":rolleyes: In the mall, first time she ever encountered a person with colored skin, "LOOK HIS SKIN IS BLACK!!!":doh: I try to think but nothing happens.

One time in a restaurant I stood up on my seat and pointed at two police officers one table over and in a loud voice asked my mom: "Are they pigs?". Apparently they took it well.
