What is the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to you when you were a kid?
Thipu1:
This didn't happen to me. It happened to the son of a friend.
He was a teen and, back in the 1970s, he worked part-time at a Baskin-Robbins ice cream store. At that time, servers were required to wear assigned shirts There was a small logo on the front. On the back of the shirt was a name of one of the BR flavors in large letters. This tall, beefy young man received the shirt with 'Honey' on the back.
He was so upset about this that he almost considered quitting but the money he earned came in handy.

I was so proud I remembered my lines. Going to back to my place in line, a boy in my class called me fatty. I was on stage in front of all of the parents, trying to hold back tears.
That stupid boy ruined my Christmas that year.

In some 6th grade Unicef fundraiser pageant, I played a girl from Mexico. I wore a sombrero, a red peasant blouse, and a folk dancing skirt. Well, the girl who was holding the Mexico sign had an issue with it. Why? Because all other kids who were dressed up as kids from other countries wore more, shall we say, civilian attire. The girl did nothing but criticize my costume while I walked. Hence I did not (and could not) smile. Then my mother asked "why was that Mexican girl so serious? Why were you not smiling?". More criticism :(
Decades later, when the girl friended me on Facebook, I thought twice before adding her strictly because of this incident.

9th grade - shy kid wearing dorky glasses. I got off at the school bus stop and was in my own little dork world. I promptly walked right through the freshly laid cement and the guys who had poured it screamed at me. The kids on the bus laughed and so did everyone walking with me.
I walked on like I didn't see anything.

I was about 6, I think. We'd gone to the movies and there was a scene where the characters were attempting to outrun a tsunami wave. I yelled "HURRY! HURRY!" in that piercing voice that small children have, and the whole theater erupted into laughter.

1st Grade Halloween Costume: Clown... Borrowed the costume from some relative I think... At the end of the day, after climbing up the bus' big steps, I reach the top, standing in the aisle at the front of the bus, and everyone starts laughing. My giant clown pants were around my ankles, and I hadn't a clue... No lasting ridicule, but that was a looooong bus ride home, *that* I remember clearly!
