OMG, had a very busy day, got up and did the usual housework things. Had been asked by my neighbour to pull the pony's mane and wash him and have him gleaming for pony rides at a fun day for 2m, so did that, went out to my mothers to put on some washing, machine still broken here, came back, brought kiddies for weekly riding lesson, came home, rode out, mucked out and then went back to groom neighbours pony, and plait. we got invited in for "tea". My children decide they are starving, and ask for ham sandwiches, tea, crisps, biscuits etc.. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me, I know they hadnt had dinner yet, but had breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks. Totally embarrased, will have to make sure they are seriously well fed in future!!!!!
 
It's a kid thing. Pretend they are neglected and starved whilst in someone elses house. It is compulsory to at least start the ball rolling by asking for a biscuit, whilst said adult retrieves biscuit, make sure to scope out where they keep the biscuits (and crisps/cake/fruit etc) so that next time you are in their house, kid can hang about longingly at the cupboard whilst sending soulful eye contact to the owner of the house, third time visit is scoot in, open cupboard door and help yourself while embaressing mum even more. Trust me, I have umpteen friend's children and two border collies (not my own) who know exactly where my goodies are in the fridge and cupboard. My son is also well known for searching fridges. :)

God, wouldn't worry about it - less hassle if they stuff themselves at neighbours lol (and realistically, their kids will probably repay the "favour" at some point in the not too distant future!).
 
Oh that's not too bad.

A neighbour works at a builders merchants, where they have a bathroom display area. One quiet Saturday morning a little voice was heard to shout: "MUMMY....I'VE FINISHED"

Hahah! I could imagine a kid doing that, just wondering did the parents have to buy the toilet? :)
 
Thats OK - you get your turn. I regularly tell my 11 yo that it is in the mummy job description to embarass her in public!
 
When I was about 4 my parents took me to a particularly wealthy, posh friend's house for a dinner party, complete with posh, wealthy friends. On sitting down for dinner the talking died down to a low murmur and Dad gestured to me to come sit next to me. Me, at a grand age of four years said at the top of my voice "Well, Shift ya arse then!"

My Dad was mortified.
 
The answer to that question is yes!! lol.

My mum, dad, brother, OH and I went out for a meal the other week for my birthday. Took 3 of OH's kids, youngest is 4. So we're sat at the table waiting for pudding and she gets off her chair, lifts her dress right up, firkles around and goes "got wedgie!" at the top of her voice! Sooooo embarrassed lol. Hasten to add she was grabbed and dress put back before too many people turned around :p
 
I feel much better now, and have had a good laugh at the replies. Seems like all kids are the same!!!!! Just off to check on the pony, make sure he's still clean, so have shoved a bowl of weetabix, 2 slices of toast & tea down my two, so at least they're not hungry!! fingers crossed!!
