What did you do/say that your embarrassed parents STILL talk about?

I visited my mutti this past weekend and once again she told the story--one of many, I must say.

I was 13. I LOVED Regis & Kelly (Kathy Lee at the time). And recently they'd had Howard Stern on as a guest when his new book Private Parts came out. He said to them "I am hung like a horse in that picture." His quip received lots-o-laughs from the audience. I had no idea what it meant at the time but...

We're in Barnes & Noble walking past the best sellers isle. I see Howard Stern's Private Parts and shout out to my mom, "Hey mom! Look! It's Howard Stern's new book! I hear he's hung like a horse in this one!"



It was funny when he said it.

And at least everyone else in the entire store, other than my mom, laughed too.

What's your parents' story (about you, or what you tell about your kids) they still tell?

I have a bad memory, but the one wasn't really embarrassing, it's mom's 'blossom' moment for her oldest daughter...

I was very shy as a child. One day at a camp ground (LOVED family camping trips!) I took a frisbee (I think it was a frisbee) out to a huge, grassy common area and shouted, "HEY! Who wants to play frisbeeeee?"

Mom tells everyone that that was the moment I 'came out of my shell' and became more social.

I had been kind of an introverted, sad little kid prior to that.

Back in the day brazil nuts were called niggger toes, so me being 3 at the time I walk into the living room and ask where the nigger toes are, of course I didnt notice that my moms black friends from downstairs were visiting......

I laugh b/c I'd never heard that until Billy's, now deceased, Tita asked me to pass her one from the mixed nuts bowl I was hogging at the time.

I had no idea what she wanted and Billy told me. You can't get mad at old people. But, I forbade Billy to ever call them that!

Years ago at work a group of us stepped outside for a ciggie. One of my black co-workers asked if he could take a puff of my ciggie, and all that came out of my mouth.... "As long as you don't nigger lick it!"

I nearly shit my pants when that came out of my mouth.... I was so embarrassed and apologetic - he laughed and made fun of me for years there after.

Because you said "lick" instead of "lip"?

Good thread!

I was probably 2 or 3 at the time. I didn't like to eat beans, so my devious uncle told me that beans gave you lots of hair and that if I didn't eat beans I would look like Grampa.

So not long after that, I was walking with Mom in the mall or something and I saw a newborn baby in a stroller with a ton of hair. Apparently I walked right up to its mother and stated, "Jeez lady, your baby must eat A LOT of beans!" Her confusion left her speechless. I *still* get told that story to this day, and it still makes me laugh at myself.

There's something about the smell of jet fuel, nylon, and adrenaline that gives me a huge boner.

I don't embarrass easily. I don't want kids, but I think it'd be super-funny to have one during those moments.

I tried out for America's Funniest Home Videos when I was ~10 when they came to the local mall. My special skill was playing 2 recorders out of my nose. (I even did harmony.) When it was my turn to audition I stepped up to the huge camera and said, "My school principle says I have a nose for music." Then I played Mary had a little lamb.

Yes.. I have been a huuuuge geek my entire life.

I was a streaker & early alchie! You'd be hard pressed to find a childhood photo (or an adult one for that matter... Hehe) of me that didn't involve me naked W/ a Bud Bottle in my hand! Everywhere we went off came everything... even the diaper (or under-roos) & I'd find me an open brewskie! Naked & free the way god intended me to be !! caused alota problems especially at school, the mall & synogauge ! WooooooooHoooooooooo!!
