I was trying on my new Aquamodesta swim dress when a female neighbor knocked on the door.
My DS told her, "my mommy can't come to the door now bc she's in her bathing suit!"
I rushed to the door to show my neighbor that I was not parading around in a typical bathing suit.

She looked puzzled and said, "You mean THAT"S Yaakov Shwekey???" |
This really happened? This might just be the funniest story on this thread!

This reminds me of when DD was 4. I work from home, and I have to sign for a LOT of packages. I had a great relationship with my mail man, and he knew not to ask me to sign on Shabbos or holidays. He'd just hold the packages for me until I could sign for them. He always stopped to chat with DD, and was generally a great guy.
One day it was around 102 degrees, and the air conditioner was barely making a dent in the heat. I was sitting around in a long skirt and a tank top, sweating to death. I keep a long sleeve button down shirt on a hook by the front door, in case anyone comes by.
So, the mailman shows up and knocks on my door. Before I could say anything, DD yells out "Just a minute, mommy needs to put a shirt on!"
I buttoned up my over shirt, and the poor mail man could NOT look me in the eye! You've never seen a big, black man blush so hard in your life. He looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him up. He shoved the package at me, I signed, and he took off at full speed.
The next day I explained about the over shirt, and he looked SO relieved! It still took a few days before he could look at me again, though.
I thought it was very sweet that there are still men out there with that kind of sensitivity.

As a SAHM, I made full 5 course dinners, but when I began working, I made once a week 'pizza night'. My son's teacher asked the class, how many of you have pizza for supper. My son proudly replied, "we have pizza for supper, every night". Humiliating.

My 1 year old was doing what he does best, unpacking my bathroom undersibk cabinet. He hands my 5 year old son a package of pads. My son starts to laugh and says yay, he gave us a package of panties. Interesting...

Here's a silly story:
About a 100 years ago, when I was at kindergarten in suburban south London, my best friend was a little half-Israeli girl called Sharon and we were the only Jews in the class.
I don't remember this, but my mother told me that one day, they brought a photographer to the kindergarten to take pictures of all the kids. For some reason, the day before, when she and Sharon's mum arrived to take us home, Sharon and I were running around shouting at the top of our voices, "The tochis, the tochis, the tochis is coming." For some reason, we thought that the photographer was known as "the tochis." Quite why, I don't know, and from which of our homes (probably both) had we heard the word "tochis". Anyway, Mum and Sharon's mum were rolling around with laughter, at the same times as telling us to be quiet and more mannerly, while all the non-Jewish mothers couldn't understand what was funny at all.

my son has sensory issues and for some reason finds touching his chest very soothing. every so often he'll make a comment about "mommy having bigger ones than him" but when I had a bunch of guest over for a meal and he starts touching me and saying "mommy has bigger things on her belly than me and daddy" and everyone was quiet for a minute and then just pretended they never heard him say anything.

Friday night we were eating with my sister and family. Father makes kiddush and hands out grape juice / wine. My 4 yr old nephew, who is slightly precocious, grabs his little becher and says loudly "Great, my whisky", and downs it in one!
We were crying with laughter, especially as he does not come from a home where they drink and we have no idea where he heard it, maybe at shul?
Amother because my sis is on here and it was her kid.

Erev Yom Kippur at our seudah our 12 year old ds turns to me asked, so are you going to sleep in the basement or is abba. I asked why, he said his rebbi said one of the things you can't do is husbands and wives don't sleep together. (in elemtary school they seem to skip this one) After YK we called the rebbi to find out exactly what was said and then dh had a real talk with my ds. dh explained this is private and not something really discussed in friends etc. he told him don't worry I am not telling anyone about that! of course he could not look at me without blushing for few days.

"Oh! Oh! Rabbi's here!"
My 2yo at an empty cafe when a man with a long white beard walked in the door.
(As I was shushing him, he continued to say "hi rabbi!")

I asked ds (4 yrs) if his music teacher spoke to them in English or b'ivrit and he smiled this huge smile and said jokingly "In Hebrrrew!!" (rolling his r) and then proceeded to crack himself up and laughed until he fell off his chair. Gotta love him!

My four year old very loudly, and very randomly proclaimed to my grandmother " my mommy doesnt have a pee-pee!"
My friend explained to her daughter that Hashem creates people in all colors, shapes and sizes, and that he loves them all and so should we. Shortly after, she saw a black man passing in the street and she yells loudly, "mommy, that man is black and I love him!"

Just after washing for the shabbos meal to which we had invited an older and very proper couple, my still not potty trained 3 1/2 year old son piped up "I have diarrhea!" When nobody responded, he just kept repeating himself louder and louder and louder. Mortifying. FYI when I changed him.... It was just regular poop.
