I SO embarrassed my DD15 without even trying!

[Val]

My DD15 went off with her friends, and I was to pick her up at the local coffee hangout. Think want-to-be emo retro hippie type place where the high school kids all hang out. Took my DD9 with me to run errands first, and finished about 20 minutes early. DD15 and her friends had not arrived at the coffee hangout yet- were next door playing video games. So, I went IN to the coffee shop, ordered an orange crush for me and a hot chocolate and rice krispie treat for DD9 (how LAME is that) and then sat down and played Chutes and ladders (they have lots of games there) with DD9. DD15 and her friends walk in....and imagine the horror of the sight they see- a MOTHER and a KID sitting in the teen hang out eating and drinking all the uncool things! Boy, you'd think I 'd stripped naked and run through her school given all the gnashing of teeth and rolling of eyes that I got tonight! She may never, ever be seen in public again!!!!!

Next time I think I will order Strawberry Crush and SING ALONG to the music....that is, if she ever lets me out of the house again!

 

[mommasita]

Yep, that would do it

IMO - it is your job to embarrass them once a day, and it only counts if their friends witness it!

That wouldn't make me uncomfortable. I am 16, almost 17.

We had a local coffee shop like that when I was 17/18. It was THE hangout in town, the only place to go.

I'd of died if I walked in and my mother had been there.

Good job, though!

i love it

One of the best things about being a parent is embarressing the kids. I think I did a good job with my 14 DS the other day when my water broke. Too bad we were in public

 

[dreamcometrue]

be sure to wear curlers next time too!

:roffl:

good stuff very funny...I wouldn't have been embarassed if my mother or fater had done that but I know some people would.

 

[ms_mckenna]

Too funny ... my 13 year old is just now getting to the stage that she would be mortified by that.

Granted I'm older now, but in high school my friends and I would have sat down and joined in for the Chutes & Ladders

I agree. Good job to the OP.

Big pink curlers and a fluffy dressing gown.

Good one, I like that. Of course, we could take it a bit further and throw on one of these...except maybe in a nice shade of green:
