Children don’t have their tongues in their pockets and don’t hesitate to say whatever comes into their heads. Stop making us uncomfortable! Anthology of these embarrassing little phrases.
The spontaneity of children is charming, disarming, crisp. We laugh at their sometimes so relevant little phrases, their involuntary jokes, their outspokenness. But, it also happens that our dear little darlings say sentences that immediately plunge us into the bottomless pit of shame ! We then open our eyes wide, confusing ourselves in excuses or trying to catch up. Sometimes it’s about someone’s physique, our habits, our little quirks. It also happens that they say loud and clear that they don’t like someone or… that we don’t like a person. Discover a anthology of these sentences pronounced by our children who give us an interstellar shame!
“Mom, the lady is ugly!”
This is a great classic! Small thoughts on the physical cause proper public humiliation. While children obviously don’t realize what they are saying, it is important to remind them that it can hurt and hurt the person to whom these derogatory remarks are directed. Generally, the person in question understands that it is only a child’s word… but still.
“I don’t like this gift, it sucks”.
Here is granny, a colleague, a friend or a simple acquaintance who hands a present to the child. A nice little present intended to please him, whether there is a special occasion or not. The child enthusiastically opens the package, impatiently tearing the gift wrap. And there he freezes. “I don’t like it, it sucks, it’s not what I wanted...“, everything goes, except the essential “Thank you”. The child passes for a horrible ungrateful little being and the parent… for someone who does not know how to educate his child. We love it!
“But mom I’m 6 years old, why are you lying?”
Children have a truth serum running through their veins, for better and for worse. This free entrance to an amusement park under 5 years old, this cheaper menu for the little ones, this pony ride at a reduced rate, so many circumstances where we tend to settle a little with the truth to benefit from the best rate. So, we brief the child: “I know you’re 6, but today we’re going to say you’re 5, okay? This one listens to us with a distracted ear, muttering that yes, he agrees. But, once at the checkout, he can’t help (it’s cooler to be tall, isn’t it?) to say that he’s 6 years old, and that “frankly mom, it’s not good to lie.”
The child who swears in public
All parents agree on one thing: bad words are bad (even if they themselves have the fucking easy). Children, especially when they start talking, tend to repeat everything they hear. And, we’re not going to lie to each other, they also like to repeat the words that make us go out of our hinges. So the last little one who says “shit” to the pharmacist, “shut up” to the granny who tells her she’s pretty in the street, or “whore” in the doctor’s office.
“Mom, why are your breasts hanging down?”
When you go shopping with your child, you really have no choice but to bring your child into the fitting room. This little angel will be the first to tell us if the “dress is ugly” or if the “sweater has a poo color.“. He will also not hesitate to tell us: “mom you have really big buttocks” Or “mom, why are your breasts dangling?“Of course, these sentences are not spoken in a low voice, in the ear, but loud and (very) loud, while five hilarious people wait in front of the booths.
“Why are you yelling with dad in the bedroom?
At his age, your child still doesn’t know how babies are made. What he does know, however, is that (despite all your precautions), he sometimes hears mom and dad playing together in the bedroom. And, this innocent little creature may well ask you at the worst time (in front of the mistress, at the butcher’s, during a lunch with the in-laws, cross out the useless mention) why you sometimes shout in the room, even , if you have a sore. It will then be necessary to remain dignified.
“The gentleman, his mouth doesn’t smell good.”
Children have no filter. When they think someone is ugly, they say so. When they don’t like someone, they say so. And when they find that Uncle Roger, Grandpa Jean-Claude or the school principal has bad breath, well, they say so too.
