You're Embarrassing Me!

I think I was 11 or 12 the first time I remembered being embarrassed by my parents. I was having a slumber party with my girlfriends, and right in the middle of us dancing to a rousing chorus of Sheena Easton's Morning Train, my Dad jumps in the center of our circle and starts doing the Monkey.

When I look back my Dad dancing was pretty funny, but at the time, what comes out of my mouth?

"Da-ad...you're embarrassing me!"

So Tuesday my 10 year old son and I decided to go see The Land of the Lost. It was mildly amusing, but there was one line that set me off laughing.

"Suck it Matt Lauer!" yelled by the amusing Will Farrell

It was one of those spewing-drink-out-of-your-mouth laughs. And just when I was really getting going I hear the harsh whispering reprimand of my son,

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh, MOM! You're embarrassing me!"

And there it is. Life coming full circle. Who knew it would come so fast?

I embarrass my children regularly.

They are old enough,now, that they generally have the good graces not to mention it.

At least not in public.

I still can't believe how fast kids grow up these days, it had to happen sooner or later and at least you didn't embarass him when he is with a girlfriend or his friends.
