Was about 8, walking downtown with my mom

We passed by an esoteric product store. Smelling the incense, I said, "Mmmmm, that incest smells good."

In case you're wondering, in Portuguese the two words sound similar too. ("incenso" and "incesto")

Edit: this was intended as a response to an old thread about childhood gaffes, but I might as well start a new one. Share your most embarassing childhood experiences.

5. I BBQ'ed my ass once.

Seriously...

When I was about 8 years old my parents owned a lake lot, there were no houses out there it was simply a lot. Anyway, we used to go out there on weekends and BBQ and swim and take the boat out etc.

It was my brothers birthday party, there were tons of kids and parents hanging out eating burgers and hot dogs etc... at the time the big marketing plug on TV was a commercial for Nestea. Anyway... the commercial would show people taking a swig of said tea and then "plunging" in a body of water on their backs... it was " Do the NESTEA PLUNGE!" ( I am really showing my age here I know ) *wink*

Soooo... all the kids were lined up running back wards into the lake and yelling " DO THE NESTEA PLUNGE!!" When it was my turn, I start to run back wards and backed into a small hibachi grill BBQ'ing my ass completely!!!

All the kids laughed, I was hurt and horrified!!! My Mom grabbed me and put me in the car to put some lotion on my ass and she said it looked like a hamburger patty on my butt... I had the cross marks of the grill on my booty!!!

So embarrassing!
