I was just watching Family Feud where the question was "Who wouldn't you mind undressing in front of?" In the middle of the answering I remembered when our son was real young how we brought him to a doctor's appointment at our HMO.

Our son realized that he was going there to see a doctor, and when we were brought into the examination room we picked him up as instructed to do onto the examination table while we waited for the doctor. Without being asked to, he quickly began to disrobe. We couldn't help laugh as we stopped him and let him know that his eyes were being examined and he didn't need to take his clothes off. He was used to the routine at doctor appointments, but this was the first time he was in for an eye examination.

It turned out that the eye doctor was female and pretty good looking. I don't think my son foresaw that and disrobed intentionally because of it, but I'll tell you that if I were in his position, without it being inappropriate, I could have been just as eager to disrobe for her as he was!

Anyone have any similar funny experiences with you preschoolers from way back when that you'd like to share?

One of the first times my son was taken to the pediatrician, he was laying on the examination table and he diaper was taken off. Shortly thereafter, my wife and I, saw a white stream of something going across the room.

After drying himself off, he said it happens all the time. Somehow, that didn't lessen our embarassment.

I have two stories....We used to go to a local restaurant on the eastern end of Long Island that was very reasonably priced, had great homestyle cooked meals and on Sunday afternoon was always crowded with senior citizens. They did not take reservations so almost always you had to wait on line for about 15 minutes or so in a long hallway and then when it was your turn to be seated you would walk through an archway into the dining area. We often took my mother in law to dinner there as she really enjoyed the German dishes. Well, when it was our turn, our son walked into the archway, looked into the dining area and seeing so many senior citizens eating dinner turned to us and said out loud, "Oma, look at all the Golden Girls in here!!!"..just about all the patrons laughed out loud...needless to say, one of our favorite shows was "The Golden Girls."
Another time I was standing on a supermarket line and my son was sitting in the cart. He must have been 2-3 years old. He started smiling and playing peek-a-boo with the person behind me....before I could turn to acknowledge the person behind me, he started waving and said, "Hi Oprah!!!" I said to myself, "Noooo" as I turned around and found the woman laughing out loud.

liere, you reminded me of another incident with our son. Mike was about the same age of your child, 2 or 3 at the time. When we were in restaurants he loved to go into the rest room, sit on the throne and take long enough you would think he was camping out for the night.

On one occasion we were in a small deli type restaurant in the town we lived in at the time. The place was small and the rest room was not very sound proof. Mike went in and assumed his royal position on the throne. After a few minutes he decided he would entertain himself and started singing the Oak Ridge Boy's "Elvira" at the top of his lungs.

Unknown to Mike, everybody, and I do mean everybody could hear him loud and clear. They all were cracking up laughing because of his singing in the john while our faces were becoming flush! We didn't know if we should deny he was our son and we were just baby sitting.

Anyway, that was a peek into the future as he later attended and graduated from the State University of New York's Crane School of Music in Potsdam, NY as a voice major.

Anyone else got any stories, please feel free to share them!

skyguy, now you reminded me of a story...my son was at the age where when using a restroom, he wanted to go in to the stall by himself. So we were out shopping one day and he had to use the restroom. I brought him in, and he went to a stall and said "Daddy, stay out"..so I looked in the stall saw that it was ok and stood right outside. I heard the toilet seat go up and my son started to say, "Daddy, what does f-blah,blah,blah..y-o-u spell?" I quickly said, "Oh, that is the name of the toilet seat company, now hurry up" All the dads in the rest room laughed. When he came out, I looked in and sure enough, someone had written this on the underside of the seat!

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but this is truly what happened. To set the scene...I had spent the day steam cleaning carpeting, so I had fans running to dry it out. I set my 3 year old son on the stool by the counter and served him his dinner. I turned to make a phone call when I heard him say, "I need a f....ing spoon." To say that my knees went weak is an understatement. I hung up the phone and said, 'What did you say?" Even looking at him, I thought he said, "I need a f...ing spoon." By then my life
had flashed before my eyes. I got right up to him and repeated, "What did you say?" He said, "I need a fork and spoon." How do spell relief...he just wanted silverware!
