How a Kid Can Embarrass Mom

I was reminded recently of the time a six-year-old Me managed to COMPLETELY embarrass my mother through some somewhat overly-creative improv on dressing as Wonder Woman...

(You can check that out here, for a chuckle: www.cabbagesnkings.net/2009/10/wonder-woman-and-lingerie-of-doom.html )

And I was wondering what kinds of things either your own kids, or you AS kids, remember doing to embarrass your folks?

My daughter is at an age where she is potty trained and can pull her pants down but not back up. When we have company I find myself staring at a naked girl.

  Oh, the boy I used to babysit could get naked in the blink of an eye. He felt he needed to be in order to be a football player for the Jets.
  
  I'm not sure where the correlation came from. But there was no dissuading him.
  
  Nude + football helmet = stylin'.

  It can get interesting. I'm waiting for the day she stops running outside to do that.

  Heh, hopefully she'll be in the single-digits agewise.

  I hope so. I really don't want to see her in a magazine.

LOL, I love your post ThriftShopRomantic... I'm still laughing!!! When I was little, I embarrassed my mother by telling her (in front of company, mind you) that she had really bad breath. Yikes!

  Oh, no... Your poor mom.
  
  Because as a kid, what's worth saying is worth saying in front of lots and lots of people.
