As Professor Robert E. Kelly learned this past week, kids do the darndest things, sometimes.
OK, true enough, I never crashed into my Mom’s or stepdad’s study as as they were doing a live interview on the BBC...but I do remember quite a few times when I embarrassed my parents without necessarily intending to,
When I was around 10 years old, Mom took us to the grocery store and my brother and I went to pick up a couple of coloring books, I believe. Mom didn’t realize that we had them.
So we go up and pay for the groceries and walk out of the store. Speaking for myself, I totally forgot that the book was in my hand.
As Mom was loading the groceries into the car and as we were getting ready to pile in, she noticed that we had these coloring books and asked us where we got them from.
I pleaded my case; we got them from the store and forgot that they were in our hands...which was the honest truth.
My mother was in a hurry to do other things, so we didn’t return the books but...let’s simply say that we did pay a price for them.
Honestly, I don’t know if my Mom was embarrassed by that incident (she has so many others to choose from, in my case!) But I did feel kind of embarrassed for her and I always have.
Today’s question: As a child, what did you do that embarrassed your parents...or if your parents weren’t embarrassed, name something that you did or a situation that made you feel embarrassed for them.
