has your child said something at the inappropriate time?

11 Comments

the other day, we had people doorknocking for charities and as our town has been barraged by scammers claiming to be raising money for the cyclone victims, i turned down the offer to donate. I don’t mind donating usually though. So i tell the doorknockers, “sorry i have no money” and then my eldest child, who was at the door with me, pipes in “Oh but you have money in your wallet”. I had to say that that money was for bills……i felt embarrassed and almost like a liar but i really had to save that money for bills. Let me know about your experiences

On a regular basis and usually in their loudest voices!

Once many years ago we were at the dentist waiting when 2 females who were obviously together came in. I’m not sure how the conversation started but my little Miss at the time (probably around 4 years old) was insistent it was a man and a woman and the more I said to talk quietly and that they were both woman the louder the insistence got that they weren’t! We got called in then

I won’t donate to doorknockers either, I prefer to be sure my donation is really going to a charity.

Yes, when my daughter was 4 she said “Look mummy how fat is her” in the loudest voice whilst pointing, to say I was embarrassed is an understatement but she was 4.

  Luckily at the age of 4 a child can be redirected and advised about commenting on people and their appearance.

Kids always do because they are trying to help you!

It is funny how they think they are being helpful by reminding you where your money is!!
