I think the most embarassing things kids can do are usually done in public. My son often gave me food for thought whenever we went out shopping. In the supermarket he once picked up a packet of brightly coloured tampons. He was under the impression that they were a new type of lolly. When we got to the checkout he kept asking for the lollies. The checkout guy couldn't understand what he was talking about as I didn't have any lollies. Dan, my son, grabbed the tampons and promptly opened the packet. when he pulled out a tampon the checkout guy was devistated. Needless to say I wasn't ready for this either. Dan saw the tampon and started screaming about the lollies and the only thing I could do was add a little humour. I just said, " I think you're too young for those darling." I put the whole lot in my handbag , paid the red faced guy and casually sauntered away. Humour usually helps so make sure you use it whenever necessary. Needless to say that Dan is now 29 and still laughs about the episode.
