Too young to be mortified, but...When I was four or so my family were on the poverty line and needed to sell the decrepit old car in order to afford a new one that actually worked, so my dad took it (and me in the back seat) down to a secondhand car dealer to try to get rid of it. When we got there we had a bargaining session which finished like so:
Car dealer: "So there's nothing wrong with it at all then?"
Dad: "No, not at all..."
Me: "But the clutch is broken."
A very highly developed sentance for a four year old and one I'm constantly reminded of.
