Funniest Ways You Embarrassed Your Parents?

I remember a story my mom told me from when I was about four or five. We were visiting some family friends, and when my dad said, “Well, we have a few things to do and some places to go,” I interrupted and said, “No we don’t —we're going home!"

(Or if you have kids and don't mind sharing a funny story)

When I was a child and when I said a bad word, my dad would stick a bar of soap in my mouth. Once I said a bad word and my parents weren't around. I took it upon myself to stick a bar of soap in my mouth. I was so proud of myself for doing the right thing, I went outside where my dad was talking to some people and I went up to him and told him in front of his guests that I said a bad word and stuck a bar of soap in my mouth. It never crossed my mind that I should have waited and told him in private.

Hiding under a circular clothing rack in a department store. I mean, I thought the way my mom freaked out was funny. She, on the other hand, was this close to calling 911! Don't tell me you didn't do that too.

I wouldn't dare do that!

You were a much better kid than I was, then!
I just know my son will do this to me one day. Karma is a thing after all.

I just remembered my mom, siblings, and uncle's girlfriend going to some diner. As we were leaving, I must have been the last one, and I saw the tip, and I thought she forgot the money, and when I got home, I held up the $5 bill, and said "You forgot it" and laughter ensued and tipping process was explained to me... I felt so bad and thought about it in bed, and kept re-enacting the Hollywood scene of giving the money back, and then hoping they'd give her a $20 for the trouble.

Hid under the downstairs bathroom sink. Fell asleep. Remember the child abduction phobia of the 80’s?

When they told the story to others and I saw how strangers reacted 🤩, probably explains all you need to know about me.

That and stuffing my folded laundry under the cushions of the sofa in the “we don’t go in there living room”.
