What's the most regrettable thing you said as a child?

My mum's family are Protestant and my dad's side are Catholic. Neither my mum nor my dad are religious, but their parents were, so there was a kind of division. My mum got married in a Catholic church but her mum was livid because "you can never trust a Catholic". Anyway, I'm about 5 or 6 and sitting in the back of the car and I shouted "Nana! Nana! Nana! Nana! Nana! Nana! Nana!" until my nana turned around and said "Yes son, what is it?" I said, "Why does my other nana not like you? Are you really a snake?" There was a deathly silence in the car for the rest of the journey.
