*Light hearted thread* What's the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you that you can laugh about now?

[justtrying11]

I don't know why but today I remembered the time when I introduced an old boyfriend to my mum.

After the nicey nice introductions, my mum blurted out:

'So Darren, which part of the body do you wash first?'

I nearly choked on my tea....She had been reading something earlier in one of her weekly woman's magazines that whatever part of the body you wash first can say a lot about your personality.

I just wondered if any other had funny memories that would like to share as I haven't been able to stop giggling all day at mine!

Darren replied 'erm...stomach?'

Sadly the relationship didn't last as he seemed a good egg. Though my mum disagreed as washing your stomach first was not a good sign

At the time (age 13/14) hearing my friends talking about my dm and her gf... I didn't know.
Needn't have worried she was lovely but a shocker non the less..

School trip to see Grease and my mum wrote Greece on the envelope with the money to be funny and I don’t know why but it was utterly mortifying. Actually I can’t even laugh about it now, I want to DIE.

Dan broke the unwritten rule that parents must wait outside in the car, preferably round the corner, when picking up their teens from parties.
He turned up early, came into the barn where the party was still in full swing and stood ON the dance floor, waiting.
I was snogging a boy at the time and had to be notified by friends that Dad had turned up.
I was completely mortified.

I mean Dad not Dan...

You still want to die now? Really? Why?

I was about 18. Mum phoned me at work to say she'd meet me off the bus & had a surprise for me. So, I got off the bus that evening and there was mum. Dressed in the exact same outfit I'd put on that morning - cream dungarees rolled up to mid-shin, blue striped Breton top, monkey boots. She couldn't understand why I was so upset / annoyed at her.

My mum was really uptight about sex and our school, trying to be progressive, had bought brand new sex education books which were all in colour and quite graphic. My mother complained to the school that I had been really upset by them (total projection, since I wasn't in the least.) I was so angry and mortified.
