Parents need to be Rhinos

What are some of the most embarrassing questions your kids have asked you in public? Especially when in a crowded train or waiting at a bus stop full of people... or even better, when everyone's praying in church. 

In my 17 years of parenting, these have been our super "I wish I had a bag over my head now" moments... 

1. Mommy, why do you have a bum bum? ~ Miss J at 3 years old in a crowded train.
2. Mommy, the sperm swims to the egg right? ~ In a crowded bus, thanks to school teaching about human reproduction when Miss E was 8 years old.
3. Dad, this is where Aunty Nancy used to stay with Uncle Luke right? ~ Whilst in the cab with Aunty Nancy's new boyfriend Uncle Mel... then when gestured to shush up, Miss E at 9 years old says "Oh you mean Uncle Mel didn't know about Uncle Luke?" *facepalm*
4. "So big! So big! Why? Why Mommy? Why??" ~ Mr. I at almost 2 years old when a large woman entered the elevator with us.

Ah... memories. Parents really need to have skin as thick as a rhino's hide and the social cool to answer such questions without lying... somehow.

Well take a tip from Ellen Seidmen on handling the most embarrassing moments with your kiddo without embarrassing yourself. 

And laugh yourself silly when you remind the lil' Miss or Mister about their unabashed questions when they're 17 years old... like I did. Hahaaaa
