Parents Share The Most Embarrassing Things Their Kids Have Said
Recently, Reddit user FarmhouseRules posted to the popular ask subreddit to ask people, "What's the most embarrassing thing your kids have ever said or done?" She shared her own story first, writing, "Once I was shopping at the grocery with my 5-year-old son in the cart. As we were going down the aisle we passed a woman going the other way. Right after we passed her, my son said, 'Mom that's the ugliest man I've ever seen.' I was mortified." Other people shared some pretty legendarily embarrassing stories, too, and I was honestly cackling. Here are some of the absolute best: "I was at checkout in K-Mart with my then 5-year-old daughter. I was buying her purple marshmallow Peeps. She told the cashier that purple was her favorite color. I said she had a new favorite color every week. This embarrassed my daughter, who said loudly, 'Mom, you have a new favorite boyfriend every week!'" "'MY MOM LOVES COCK PORN.' (He meant popcorn.)" "My wife, my son, and I were at Disneyland. My son was 3 at this point. He had finished potty training just a few weeks prior to this. During potty training, we would use positive reinforcement, elling him that he was doing a good job, etc. etc. One of the things I told him was that he was pooping Iike a man now." "My 2-year-old son and I were in line at Kohl's and the woman behind me had vitiligo (a condition that causes the pigment in your skin to discolor, completely resulting in very blotchy skin). My son looked at her and gasped and said, 'Oh wow, I LOVE your polka dots!'" "We were at the zoo when my son was probably 5 or 6. He had run ahead to look at the zebras. He turned around and screamed, 'Mom, you won't believe how big this zebra's dick is!' I deeply considered walking past him with no acknowledgment." "Took my 3-year-old in to work with me on a Saturday when the office was closed. My coworker was there. I introduced him to my daughter. She recognized his name from me always complaining about him, looked him in the eye, and asked him, 'Are you the one who doesn't know what he is doing?'" "We were on a trail in the Smoky Mountains and a park ranger with an eye patch was talking to us about bears. Right when we finished the conversation and started walking away, my son said, 'Mommy, we just talked to a pirate!'" "Not my kid, but it was said to me. I was riding the elevator up to the OB/GYN floor with a very pregnant woman and her about 3-year-old son. He looked at my belly and excitedly asked if I was going to have a baby, too. His mother was 14 shades of red with nowhere to hide! I told him no, I was just fat. He gave me a sad face and said, 'Well, next year.'" "When my oldest was about a year and a half old in the grocery store, he pointed to a baby and said 'ugly baby' clear as day and very loud." "My son told my daughter that her penis fell off and that's why he was a boy and she was a girl. She was upset for weeks." "When my son was little, we took him to mass with us. When the priest was consecrating the communion wafer, my son loudly and clearly said, 'Hey, I want one of those potato chips!'" "My son, bless his heart, waited until everyone had bowed their heads to pray but before the priest started the prayer, and in that moment of blessed silence, piped up 'I gotta poop!' as loud as he could." "I was waiting in the crowd for my number to be called at the deli counter with my 5-year-old. It was National Dairy Month, and the grocery store had a huge inflatable cow suspended from the ceiling above us. My daughter looked up and announced at the top of her lungs, 'Look, Mom, that cow has four penises!' The crowd roared." "My daughter announced to her whole class that girls get brains and boys get a penis. That was a whole parent/teacher conference." "I was the mortifying kid: in the middle of a Catholic mass, during one of the silent parts, I looked up at a man next to us. I looked back at my mom and loudly said, 'Mom, why does his forehead go back so far?'" "We were at my grandfather's funeral with my then 3-year-old son. We had told him that great-grandpa was really old and that's why he died. We met my grandparents' neighbor, who I knew growing up, and she is about 90. When she walked away, my son said, 'She's really nice. It's too bad she'll be dead soon.'" "When my son was 3, we lived in a pretty rough neighborhood. His favorite thing was just riding his tricycle up and down the sidewalk, completely safe. One day I heard him greeting people in the manner that people greeted him when they walked by. He said, 'Hey, motherfucker!'" "Around Thanksgiving, we walked past a very old woman and the 5-year-old stopped to ask her about conditions on the Mayflower." "This is about me at 5 years old in 1975. My mom used to tell this story. My dad at that time liked to listen to Deanna Durbin records on the living room stereo. Her picture was on the fronts of the albums, and he liked to tell me he was listening to his 'girlfriend' singing." "My kid was 5-ish and had started calling hot dogs weiners. At the grocery store, she said, very loudly, 'Mommy likes wieners!'" "Our oldest was about 3, my wife was pregnant with our second, and we were at dinner with friends who had a toddler in a high chair. Said toddler had food everywhere!" "About 20 years ago when our son was 2, we were having a small dinner party with friends at our home, and he went into our bedroom closet and found one of my wife's (adult) toys. He came running into the living room and started banging it against the coffee table." "My kid, at 4, could burp like a truck driver. Sitting in a restaurant, she let out this massive burp, dove under the table to hide, and 25 strangers turned around to stare at me with mild disgust." And finally, "My lovely 3-year-old likes to yell 'HELP ME!!!' at the top of her lungs when she doesn't get her way, and she tends to not get her way and yell that in grocery stores and other public places." Okay, IDK about you, but I'm laughing my ass off at some of these. Tell me what you think in the comments below; or, even better, divulge your own embarrassing kid stories!

Hershey Kiss one step closer to becoming Pennsylvania state candy as Senate votes on bill
PENNSYLVANIA (WTAJ) — The Hershey Kiss is one step closer to becoming the official state candy of the Commonwealth after a previously introduced bill moves to the Senate. A bill originally introduced by Representative Thomas Mehaffie (R-Dauphin) has moved into the Senate after passing through the Pennsylvania House. Mehaffie argued in his bill that the Hershey Kiss is 'an iconic product' that was first produced in the Commonwealth in 1907. The Representative highlighted that the Hershey Kiss is recognizable worldwide and brings significant importance to Pennsylvania. The Hershey Co. employs almost 19,000 people, and the founder, Milton Hershey, used the Kiss as the foundation for a product line and manufacturing process that strengthened the region's economy. Peeps vs. Hershey Kiss: What should be the next Pennsylvania candy 'We believe that denoting Hershey's Kisses as the state candy will not only bring more attention to our state, but also commemorate a company and candy that has forever impacted our state's economy and values,' The bill reads. In April, Senator Lisa Boscola (D-Lehigh, Northampton) argued that Peeps, which are also produced in Pennsylvania, should also be in the running for the next state candy. Boscola noted that the impact of the marshmallow candy goes beyond the aisle, with Peeps representing a longstanding commitment to community and economic development. Boscola's legislation was never officially introduced in the Pennsylvania Senate; only a memo was circulated to her peers. Mehaffie's legislation will now be voted on by committees in the Senate before being sent for an official floor vote. If passed, the bill would then be sent to Governor Josh Shapiro's desk for consideration and signing. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Pennsylvania lawmakers pass bill making the Hershey's Kiss the 'State Candy'
(WHTM)– A bill to designate Hershey's Kiss as the Pennsylvania State candy has passed the House and advanced to the Senate. House Bill 1030, sponsored by state Representative Thomas Mehaffie (R-106) and co-sponsored by various other representatives from both sides of the aisle, would designate Hershey's Kisses as the official state candy of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The House passed the bill 150-53 earlier this week. According to the bill, if passed, Hershey's Kisses would immediately be designated the official State candy in perpetuity, and as long as the Hershey Company remains in Pennsylvania. The bill highlights The Hershey Company's success, calling kisses one of the most iconic candies of all time. The Hershey Kiss bill has been introduced several times in the General Assembly but has faced pushback for fear of giving the 'State Candy' title to one company. In March, Pennsylvania State Senator Lisa Boscola said she plans to introduce a bill making Peeps the official candy of Pennsylvania. Hershey sells its products in 85 countries around the globe and produces more than 70,000,000 Hershey's kisses daily in Hershey. The bill added that the Hershey Company supports many aspects of Pennsylvania's economy, including its dairy industry. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

East Haven smoke shop's registration suspended after persistent illegal cannabis sales
EAST HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Planet Zaza has been ordered to suspend electronic cigarette sales, according to Department of Consumer Protection officials Thursday. The business' Electronic Cigarette Dealer registration was suspended effective immediately. RELATED: AG Tong: $4.93 million penalty against Planet Zaza for illegal cannabis sales The suspension comes after officials say the business failed six compliance checks conducted by DCP's Drug Control Division and East Haven police over the last two years, following allegations the business was illegally selling cannabis to minors. Officials said officers have seized hundreds of illicit cannabis and THC products from the property since May 2023. The most recent investigation included THC products with counterfeit labels targeting children such as Peeps, Game Boy, Crayola, and Nerds. 'It is illegal for Electronic Cigarette Dealers, often referred to as vape or smoke shops, to sell cannabis. We expect that all license holders act responsibility and follow the law,' DCP Commissioner Bryan T. Cafferelli said in a statement. New Haven enforcing new ordinances around smoke shops In May, Attorney General William Tong said he secured a $4.93 million judgment against Planet Zaza and its owner, Mohamed Alraishani, in his personal capacity, following the persistent illegal cannabis sales. Tong first sued Planet Zaza and Alraishani in January 2024 for violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act after multiple unannounced inspections conducted by the Department of Consumer Protection and Office of the Attorney General found numerous high-THC cannabis edibles. Investigators also discovered unauthorized labels, including fake prescription labels, falsely indicating that the store was a licensed dispensary and that the illegal products were medical-use cannabis. The products were not produced in a licensed facility or tested in accordance with state law, and many contained youth-appealing packaging. Authorities cracking down on unregulated marijuana sales in Connecticut shops On Nov. 12, 2024, the judge issued a temporary injunction ordering Planet Zaza and Alraishani to cease illegal sales, but they ignored the court's order. Plant Zaza's Electronic Cigarette Dealer registration was first issued in December of 2022 and it's current registration is set to expire in February of 2026. Concerns about a registered Electronic Cigarette Dealer in the State of Connecticut can be reported to DCP's Drug Control Division at (860) 713-6065, or by emailing Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
