My kids are often embarrassing--but not as much as they used to be when they would run yelling through the chapel at church or make "pee" soup outside or.....you get the idea. Lately, though, I find that my kids are more often than not embarrassed by ME! I have no idea why, exactly, but I've been hearing lately that I should not embarrass them. Which of course makes me want to...
Then I read about a dad who waved at his son's bus every morning of the boy's sophomore year of high school: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705373877/Teens-dad-spends-school-year-waving-at-bus-embarrassing-son.html?pg=1 It's hilarious. At least I think so--the kids, even Ivy--not so much. There's a blog with pictures of what this dad wore each morning as he waved to the bus: http://www.waveatthebus.blogspot.com Eva wouldn't even look at the pictures!
So far the kids have told me NEVER to do something like this!
I can't get it out of my head that I need to "step up to the plate" somehow--I'm loving what this dad did!! Eva suggested I ask you for ideas on how to properly embarrass her. Well, not really. What she said, when I read this post out loud was, "What are you gonna do, ask people for ideas?" And she didn't seem thrilled about it. I, however, think it's a great idea!!
What ideas do you have?
