Kids say the darndest things!

Well apparently not everybody agrees.

When 4-year-old Justin Otero innocently asked a woman at a donut store in Monroe, Connecticut whether she "had a baby in her belly," mother Rebecca Denham turned red from embarrassment when the woman replied "No".

“My response was, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m so embarrassed, I’m so sorry,’” Denham said.

The woman didn't take it to heart though as she said it happened all the time with children.

Which is why when Denham went back to the store, Doughnut Inn, on Tuesday morning with her son, she was struck with confusion when they were not allowed in.

The store's excuse? Little Justin had asked a "rude" question.

“We were screamed at in front of the door, ‘He’s not allowed in here, he’s rude,’” Denham claimed.

The little trooper didn't make a fuss and said he “sort of” understands when she explained the bizarre situation to him.

Local news station, WFSB, contacted the manager and owner who declined to comment.

“Some people, unfortunately, are quick to pass judgment, and therefore we will take our money and business elsewhere,” Denham said.
