ME: "Oh, am I embarrassing you again?"
TEENAGE OFFSPRING (rolling eyes): "No, you're embarrassing YOURSELF."

Burn.
Ouch!
Nice.
Thank you for this remarkable naval-gazing post. It was well worth your effort to write it, and mine to read it. I feel enriched, spiritually, intellectually, socially, and psychically. You’ve successfully – almost single-handedly – turned the internet into a paradise of stimulating though and ideas, the exchange of which is highly entertaining as well as educational.
Yep, I was told something just like this a few months ago. :)
Yes, my dear child, unfortunately by virtue of our intimate relationship, I should by all accounts be embarrassed to be associated with you as a fine example of failed authoritarian dictatorial parenting techniques, however, that's never been my style. And, I love you no matter how much. So, just come a little closer, my dear, and I will throw my fluffy dimpled arms about your waist as well as plant a loud smacking smooch on your dainty inheritance.
(Your daughter, presumably, who's attempting to claim adoptee status?)
Christ, mine still embarresses the hell out of me, oh the humanity.
