Contest: Humiliating Moments In Parenting. Particularly see the comments. There's a lot of chaff and not that much wheat, but it's worth sifting. For instance...
Happened to a divorced friend of mine: She was having a small dinner party, and her five-year-old daughter came dancing out with her vibrator, which she had dressed in Barbie clothes.
Spit-takes all around....

I once took my friend's 5yo into a crowded restaurant bathroom. Because he was scared to stand by the sinks alone, I brought him into the stall with me, and this is what transpired:
kid: I'll close my eyes.
me: OK.
kid: Actually, I want to look.
me: OK. (kid opens eyes)
kid: Wow! You're hairy!
me: Well, that's what happens when you get older; you grow hair in all kinds of places.
kid: My mom's not hairy like that!
Of course, I had to tell his parents about this, because I was afraid that he might suddenly make an announcement about my pubic region over lunch. (I left out the part about his mom, though.)

This wasn't a public humiliation but to this day I can remember the look of horror on my Mom's face (and my Dad laughing) even though my ten year old self didn't get it.
Although she was rarely up before they were one Saturday morning my 6 year old sister managed to surprise them and promptly made herself at home between them on the bed. She then looked around and declared 'Hmmm, smells like someone's been eating salmon!'.

Here's my first story: I'm a dad, and I have my four year old son with me and I'm taking him to see Finding Nemo. So before the show begins I take him to the bathroom to pee. I ask, "Do you need to go?"
"No, daddy." I think Good!, I can just have a quick one at the urinal instead of going into a stall with him.
So I move to a urinal and unzip. As I am peeing, my son sidles up, takes a good look and says in that announcing-to-the-world voice that four year olds have, "OH MY GOD, DADDDY, YOU HAVE A *BIG* *LONG* PENIS."
I zip up and mutter, "Thanks for the advertising," and leave the bathroom accompanied by the silently shaking shoulders of all of the other guys at the urinals and sinks.
