“Is That A Zombie?!”: 100 Times Moms Were Mortified By The Darndest Things Their Kids Said Or Did

People say “Kids don’t lie.” If you want to hear the truth about yourself or something in the world, ask a kid. And it’s true; children don’t have a filter yet and sometimes don’t know what’s appropriate and what isn’t.

Kids’ unfiltered observations can sometimes result in the most hilarious situations. Most parents know this: you’re walking down a store aisle when your kid sees something, points at it, and loudly proclaims perhaps the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever heard.

In a recent video, creator @rhyann23 asked her followers for the wildest things their kids said that embarrassed them. The answers from parents were as mortifyingly embarrassing as they were hilarious. From accidental racial bias to bringing lubricants to school, these parents had enough reasons to want to disappear into thin air right then and there.
