Funniest Ways You Embarrassed Your Parents?

I remember walking into the living room where my parents were entertaining guests. I had heard this new word on the school bus, and I blurted out in front of all of them, "What does F-ck mean?" Just remember a combination of gasps and laughter in response.

Did anyone answer or explain??

I remember that it was the very first time I'd heard the word, and I truly had zero idea it was anything negative, so I blurted out this question like I was asking about how gravity works. I was too young for a real explanation. I was probably 6 or 7. I just remember Mom advising that it was not a word for kids and like the other "swear" words best avoided. Mom was a tad mortified....Dad and the other guys were trying not to bust out laughing. There were some laughs. I remember that. It wouldn't take long before the "kids on the bus" would explain what it meant along with all other wisdoms of the expanding juvenile world. That school bus was an interesting place, also being the first place I saw marijuana being smoked.

I remember being at a parent-teacher meeting in first grade where my teacher told my Mom that I was mooing in class. It was really hard trying to keep a straight face.

That's actually really cool/creative you would do that.

When I first read it, it almost triggered a memory for me, like I did something like this.
