What to do when your toddler screams with joy "Look momma! That lady has a baby in her tummy! Yeah!" while in the rice/beans/international aisle at the grocery store, as she points at a woman who is obviously just....round in figure? Run. Run as fast as you can before you make eye contact. Whip that cart, overloaded with healthy food and 2 healthy children, right around and run. And then peeeeeek around the corner of every aisle before you enter it to make sure the same lady isn't already there.
) Kids say the darndest things. Just the other day my DD saw a "rounder" guy and said out loud, "that man has a big belly!" All you can do is run in the other direction!
The other day, I was on the playground with my niece and nephew and a random kid asked me if I was pregnant. The response, "You should never EVER ask a lady that. But yes, I am." Nevermind the fact that I was only 7 weeks at the time...

Apparently, when I was around 2 years old, I once called a black person a "chocolate person" to his face. My parents were super embarrassed, but luckily it was someone my dad worked with who had a good sense of humor and realized I was only 2. But still... I feel bad for my parents. ">
ETA: I have since learned from my child development classes that around this age, children start discovering physical differences between themselves and other people. In this case, it was skin color.
My niece was 3 at the time and at church when the youth pastor was talking to her and she told him his breath stank very loudly in front of everyone my poor sister wanted to die she was so embarassed.
My child informed the cashier at Publix that "Mommy has hair on her boompa!" (her word for my personal bits) she has never mentioned it before that point in time. Awesome.
