Parents can be so embarrassing, can’t they? It’s the way they look, the things they say, and the way they speak. Well, this is according to my children who cringe every time I pick them up from school.It seems that my clothes are either too loud or too dull, or too tight or too baggy. And when I attempt to please them by buying something more fashionable I get it all wrong! They say that I am trying too hard and this, apparently, is even more embarrassing than not trying at all. It’s impossible to win.I’m told that the phrases I use are old-fashioned and cheesy, but when I throw in a word I learned from the Internet, they tell me it doesn’t suit me. And don’t get them started on my jokes; at school events I can have the other parents rolling around laughing but all my children roll are their eyes.And they hate it when I dance, especially when I break into my ‘robot’ routine. Little do they know that I do this on purpose, just to watch them squirm. It’s particularly enjoyable when their friends are around – maximum cringe factor!I may not be the coolest of dads but I run an excellent taxi service, an efficient laundry service, and I offer a no-cost all-you-can-eat restaurant around the clock. So for all the things I provide for my children, I think I am entitled to embarrass them in public every once in a while. I have earned the right to be uncool.And it’s not as if I have never been cool. When I was their age I was, of course, amazingly cool and my parents were, of course, completely embarrassing. So kids, it doesn’t matter how cool you think you are now, your own children will at some point think you are absolutely ridiculous.
