Kids don’t lie — and they also don’t have a filter or show restraint. In fact, they’re so brutally honest that parents often find themselves in the most embarrassing situations once the kids open their mouths.
We stumbled upon a gem of a thread on our Facebook Group Smart Parenting Village where one mom asked: What is the most embarrassing moment you experienced with your toddler in public? The answers had us in stitches — kids really say the darndest things! — so, with their permission, we thought we’d share them with you.What other parents are reading
