Three immediately spring to mind:
1. Taking my dd#1 into a public bathroom, she was about 4 years old. Someone was in one of the stalls and was in some kind of gastric distress - it smelled terrible. My dd starts complaining, loudly “it smells SO bad in here! MOM - why does it stink?!? It’s so stinky!” And on and on - I had to take her out of the bathroom because I’m sure she was making the other person feel even worse.
2. Same kid, a little younger. We’re at a checkout line in a store and the cashier had a mole on her face that had some hairs growing out of it. My dd points at her mole and says “you look like a witch!”
3. Dd#3 and I go to a shoe store and the clerk, who happens to be a young man of color, comes over to measure her feet and she absolutely loses her shit. I can’t figure out why but she won’t let him anywhere near her. He starts making jokes and warms her up and she turns to me and says “mom! I like the brown guy now!”

My brother and I were at the store with our mom. He was 4 or 5 and started laughing hysterically while we waited in line. "Isn't it funny, mom, when Arthur climbs in your a-china?" (Arthur was our cat.) My mother, in a horrified tone: "OMG, WHAT??" My brother, laughing harder and getting louder: "Arthur! When he climbs on your a-china and you chase him away because he might break something!" My poor, exasperated, embarrassed mother: "You mean my CHINA CABINET? !!" "Oh, yeah. That's what it's called. A China cabinet."

Not really embarrassing, more so where did that come from moment. DS was 4 and I took him and dd to a large restaurant. It was a weekend night and it was packed. Part way through dinner ds spills his drink all over his lap. He stands on the bench (we were in a booth), raises his right hand and says, very loudly “I come in peace but my undies are wet”. A few minutes later a young couple who were seated near us were leaving and the guy stops at our booth, holds up his right hand and says “I also come in peace, but I’m not wearing any undies”. I’m not sure everyone enjoyed the show but it was pretty funny.

Our son was about 3 when he pulled his brief style underwear halfway down and told my mother "This is how mommy wears her underwear!" That was when I was young and wore bikini panties.

These are hysterical!
#1 DD was about 2 years old. We were in Sears looking at clothes. Turned my back for a second and she stood in front of those huge mirrors, started to take off her clothes and said, " I have an EXY body. omg...
#2 DS was also about 2 years old and we took my parents to a winery. We were seated at a long table with other guests of the winery waiting for the host to pour the wine. As he's walking around the table and gets near us, my son yells loudly. I want dry wine please. Everyone laughed but we were slightly embarrassed.

I took my oldest to the county fair when she was 4. My two sisters were with me. We had seen everything we wanted to see except a show that was starting in another hour or so. Looking for a place to have a seat, we decided to stop and play bingo for a while.
We played a few games and had a pile of used bingo papers in front of us, and the announcer took an extended break between games. To keep DD quiet, one of my sisters started wadding the bingo cards into little balls and playing with her. DD, in her cutest, sweetest little Raleigh NC southern accent, announced very loudly, "My mama doesn't let me play with trash like this." Of course everyone was quiet when she made her very clear announcement, and there were some odd stares aimed our way because it just sounded so judgmental.
I loudly said, "No, DD, we don't usually play with our garbage, but it's okay if you and Aunt Bubby play a game with the old bingo cards. Or you can take them over to the trash can if you want." I mean, I really didn't know if anyone thought DD was implying they were "white trash" and by proxy I must have been doing so as well, but I wanted to make sure they knew we were talking about real pieces of garbage LOL.
