Have you ever had a shock?

What the blazes was his problem that he could not wait for the next train????????

I thought of a non-Disney shocker. My mom, DS & DD were checking into a motel one afternoon. At the time she was about 19 months old or so. Somehow she ended up naked when we were getting out of the car - I THINK we had changed her due to a leak and wanted to get her into something before we went into the motel. We she decided to play scamper away (the parking lot was deserted and the highway clearly visible so cars were not an issue). But she was scampering away NAKED!!! We finally gave up and let her run and got the camera & snapped a few 'tushy' view photos after she finally took her pool towel and partially covered up. You know - the kind that they would rather die than let a boy-friend see when they grow up!!! We were laughing so hard - she went right into the lobby and up to the desk barely covered up in front with the towel. The check-in clerk was trying not to laugh hysterically and we just prayed they never had to review the tape from the security cameras in the parking lot!!!

LOL
And you know, somewhere on a "shocking things I've seen at motels" thread, someone is bringing up this story!!!!

 

[jann1033]

lol my youngest daughter was of the "nudist" mentality at that age also running down the street in all her glory post bath many times

it does bring up a point though, we never know the whole story behind why some people act the way they do.

case in point. last trip we were by the castle in MK right after the character show( name of which escapes me) and i did not realize people were taking pictures of the characters... i walked right through a woman's shot ( the handler was standing across the walkway in the far corner almost to the street, i have no idea who or where the character was to this day) and never even knew i did it till he yelled at me. sometimes it is hard to tell if a crowd is just a normal crowd or something else or if you are blocking someone's view or what ever...i saw a young couple sitting on the train stations steps for a good hr pre wishes, they had a great view till 5 mins pre wishes an excited father stood right in front of them and put little excited child on his shoulders..i really think he never realized what he had done!
so please forgive us clueless numbskulls, we mean no harm, we're just a little dense!

These are great.

I just saw this one Saturday, on the way out of Philharmagic...

Someone in front of me leaving the show was pushing an electric motor scooter out of the theatre. Now that wouldn't be that odd, except that this wasn't a disability scooter. This was an honest-to-God, street-legal moped, like this one:

... And the best part was, they had put a child's training wheels on it!

I actually did have a shock, and it was somthing done to me.

It was July 3d, and I am sure alot of you know the crowds at that time, so the buses were quite full. Me, my DH, and two DS's 4 and 6 got on the bus which was rapidly filing up. I got a seat, which was separated a bit from my husband and sons. there were two seats next to me, and a single seat directly across from me. As the bus was filling up, a Mother, and family ( husband, sister, brother in law, daughter and nephew) get into the bus, and the only seats left were the two next to me and one directly across from me. The Mother told the daughter and her nephew to sit down ( next to me) and she took the seat across from me. The husband and Uncle ( nephews father) stood in front on me holding on to the bars.

Well, the little blond southern girl ( sounded as though they were from Georgia) was about 4 or 5, as was her cousin. The little girl looked at me and said in not so quite a voice to her cousin " I don't want to sit next to the fat girl.. YOU sit next to the fat girl".... Where the cousin replied " No, your mom told you to sit next to the fat girl"... I looked at them, with a look of shock on my face.

the bus started, and we drove along, and the little girls leg touched mine, and she then whispered " I just touched the Fat girl".. and then pulled a face of disgust.

I had said to myself that I was NOT going to be " one of those people" and correct this child, and make a scene, so then someone can then make a post about how " rude I was " to their child.. LMAO... But I did say to myself
" if she says that one more time, "... What I was going to do was say " Hello, My name is Racheal... Not Fat girl.. It is very hurtful to call people things like that, you should have better manners".

But I kept my tounge... Even though this was a small child, I was hurt.. Very sad that my feelings were hurt by a 5 year old.. But even though I am a bigger girl, I have never really experienced somthing like that.. I thought it amazing that these children had not been taught right from wrong. And that you NEVER say somthing like that to anyone. So, that was a bit of a damper on the night... but, what can you do??

* shall not even comment about the "shamu" thing, and how those things truely do hurt people. And how not all " fat" people get that way by gorging themselfs on tons of food..... oh look... I did comment*...

You were right to keep quiet but please don't immediately blame the girls parents. My four year old in a crowded but relatively quiet dentist office exclaimed loudly when a bigger girl walked into the office "That is the fattest person I have ever seen!" She did not say it in a tone of disgust but one of wonderment. I was mortified, immediately corrected her on commenting on appearances. On the way home in the car, while I had her attention, we talked about hurting someones feelings with words. So maybe there is a post about this somewhere else.

I've also had to correct her from pointing at people in wheelchairs or other obvious disabilities, so she doesn't do that anymore.

We all do our best as parents, but there definately is a learning curve.

Aroura,

You should have said to the girl- "No wonder your own mother doesn't want to sit next to you."


Seriously, I do wish yo would have said your planned comment. It was nice and appropriate. You are not 8 years old anymore and this is not the school playground. Children should be polite, or at least respectful.

A little sarcasm goes a long way-even with kids.

Isn't it awful how one little comment from one rotten kid can stick with you forever?

I hope you have a magical day.

Aroura, here is a hug

Bambi was rereleased in the movie theater when my older 2 kids were 2 & 4.

The best scene in that movie was with "Flower, Bambi and Flower's Mother."

"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin at all".

My family still lives by that saying.

I'm sure you've all seen this one: Last year my kids were riding Thunder Mtn. I was waiting at the exit. While they were in line I noticed the same group of teenage boys kept exiting. One was in a wheel chair, they would switch who was in the chair and run thru again. They rode about 3 times to my kids one.

My DD and I were walking thru MK when a lady pushing a stroller ran up on her ankle. I caught my daughter before she fell forward, the lady made a huffing noise, "unhooked" the stroller from her ankle and walked off -- never said a word. My daughter was shocked, not to mention hurt, from the assult.

I, too, would be moritfied and furious.

I have a very special place in my heart for the handicapped. At one of our local grocery stores, there are supplied motorized shopping carts. I saw some teenagers on one of the aisles riding around, obviously playing on them. When one of the teens stopped to let me walk by, I stopped and said to him, "I truly hope you never have to really use one of those one day".

Let's just say they exited the store shortly after that.

I have another story involving urination! My family and I were waiting to get on the bus outside the Magic Kingdom. You know how the buses pull into the bus stop area, go through the security checkpoint, then they can go left or go forward? And if they go forward, there is a little round median they drive around to get the bus turned around? Well, we were waiting on the bus. Our stop faced the park, so we could see the little median. I looked over and saw a woman and her little girl walking across to the median, where no guests are allowed, then she pulled down the girl's pants. The little girl lifted her legs and peed in the median. !!! I was shocked! This was right in front of the security house thingy, and in front of probably hundreds of people waiting to get on their buses! I was pretty amazed. This was before they set up the security barricades preventing folks from entering the park close to the bathrooms that are located to the right of the park entrance, too! She was so close to the bathrooms, yet she went into a restricted area, putting both their lives at stake...what if a bus had come around that corner and hit them? That is the strangest place I have ever seen anyone have their child pee.

When we were at MK either this past April or on our last trip in June we were waiting for Philharmagic. All of a sudden a woman goes, "where's so & so?" to hubby. Man jumps the ropes and retrieves his screaming toddler from the stroller across the way. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

 

[N&B'smom]

Oh my goodness, they didn't know where their toddlers was??? REAL NICE! That is a disgrace!

MEN !!! LOL. I bet he forgot the kid or thought she had him. I have a story I was reminded....from this.. We were at Blizzard Beach with DS 3 and MIL FIL and DH. I went to get changed in the ladies room and you would think 3 adults would be able to keep DS safe for 5 minutes. Well I come out to Dh running past me that he couldn't find Chris (DS) So immediately my heart if racing I yell to DH which way did you last see him. MIL comes over like "I just turned for a second and he was gone!" SO I started screaming for him. Not hysterically to scare him but loud enough for him to hear me and hopefully come back. Well he comes walking out of the mens locker room smiling. He went in there for a second and when he heard me calling him he strolled out like "What?" Dh was about to vomit from being so upset. It happened too quickly for me to panic but my mind was racing on what I needed to do to find him. Needless to say he came with me everywhere after that.
I never asked DH how it happened because he was so upset. Normally he is amazing with DS. I think he went to change too and MIL took her eyes off DS...that is why she said what she did to me when I first found out he was missing.
So I told DH that DS is not to leave either of ours sight for the rest of the trip.

I need more laughs! BUMP!

 

[MaryKatesMom]

I have two DD's 5 and 6. We were at BB when we noticed two little girls in an extended family right around my DD's age topless. Maybe they were from a different culture but my girls couldn't get over it. They couldn't stop talking about the naked girls.

I was just relieved I put them in one pieces because I just know DD 6 would have given me an argument about taking her top off too.

I saw a topless girl at the Coronado Springs pool last month. She must have been at least 10 or 11. My 11 and 12 year old cousins were really grossed out.

One year while waiting for one of the parades at MK to start my dd at the time 16, shes about 6ft. tall stood along the curb with her friend and my ds's stroller. I took my ds for a bathroom run before the parade so my dd "held" the viewing spot. When I returned I found my dd hystericaly crying. A group of women decided that they wanted the viewing spot and physically bumped my dd out of the way sticking out their chests and bumping her and yelling the entire time. They started in with her with racial slurs and yelling. It was just awful! Everyone around witness to this stuck up for my dd and they backed off. By the time a cm showed up it was over but some of the witnesses told him what happened. The people around us were mortified.

oh and another one....my dh was thrown up on at MK by someone on our honeymoon!

 

[3DisneyNUTS]

OMG that is horrible. Thank God the others stuck up for her the poor kid. And your poor DH I hope it wasn't too bad
