A 4-year-old boy and his mother have been banned from a doughnut shop in the US after the boy asked another customer if she was pregnant.
(Cue every parent’s heart stopping.)
Rebecca Denham told local news that she was in the store with her son Justin, when he approached a female customer and asked her if “she had a baby in her belly”.

“She said no,” Denham said. “And he said ‘I’m sorry.'”
“And my response was ‘oh my goodness, I’m so embarrassed, I’m so sorry!'”
Apparently the woman took it quite well and said it was no problem.
But the doughnut shop owners were less forgiving.
The store: Where every parent’s nightmare took place. (via)The next day, when Justin and his mother returned to the store, they were told he was no longer allowed inside.
“I looked around,” Denham said. “Like, him? And she said ‘yeah, he’s rude.'”
Denham tried to explain to her son what had happened, and she said he seems to understand. “Someone got really mad,” Justin told reporters.
Justin and his mum are going to visit a different doughnut shop from now on, and the owners of the store, presumedly sticking by their decision, refused to comment.
So, this whole incident really does beg the question:
Have your kids ever said something they really shouldn’t have? And how did you handle it?

for a child it is question they ask, they do not ask it to be hurtful or cruel, they want to know an answer. the response from the shop is deplorable however the boy and his mother are better off without attending it and something good always comes out of something negative
Years ago an African friend of my mother's was on holiday in Europe when she overheard a small child who had obviously never seen a black person before. The child said (in high-volume French), "MOMMY LOOK AT THE LADY MADE OF CHOCOLATE!". Small child's mother was *mortified*.
