This reminds me of something very funny that happened at my temple a few months ago. We were at Friday night services. The cantor has a little boy (I think he's 3) who had come to services with his father and was sitting in the front row. For some reason, his mother wasn't there.
The cantor began to lead a song. About a verse into it, the little boy stood up and took off his sweater. OK, so he's warm, no big deal. Then he took off his shirt. Going shirtless is not exactly appropriate for services, but he's a boy, so it's still not a huge deal. Then he lowered his pants... and started to lower his underpants. Right there in the front row in front of everybody!
The cantor finished the song (I think he cut a verse or two) and scurried over to whisk his son away into the back.
The rabbi had to hold off on continuing the service so that she could recover her composure.
