I’ve always loved to do things to embarrass my kids. I don’t know why I do these things, but they always end up laughing. Every good parent needs to embarrass their kids once in a while.

1. Loudly yell to them, while they are walking towards school after getting out of the car, “I LOVE YOU!! Have a good day!” Then blow them kisses until they get into the building.
   That one is pretty much a given. Easy embarrassment.
2. Fart in a grocery store and blame it on them.
   While this would embarrass most children, mine are a bit off, and would fight over claiming it!
3. Wear what you think are amazingly stylish clothes to PT conferences, or to school activities. Be sure that everyone sees you with your children. Make them uncover their faces.
   Another thing along these lines is to wear inappropriate clothing. I once “accidentally” wore my “fuck” boots to pick up (they have the word all over them). When my kids saw them, they tried to hurry us to the car. I made sure to stop and talk to teachers in the hallway.
   When my 2 older children were teenagers (back in the early 2000s), crocs were so out of style and made fun of. I constantly wore these bold orange crocs everywhere. Every time we went anywhere, they would tell me how embarrassing I was. But, they were sooooo comfortable! Now they’re back…
