"I was walking on the track with my dad and there was a woman with pretty obvious breast implants doing stretches on the side. My dad had his earbuds in with the volume up high, and for some reason felt the need to point them out. He practically yelled 'THAT WOMAN HAS FAKE BOOBS!' He didn't even seem to realize that he was being loud enough for everyone nearby to hear him. The woman looked mortified and I strongly considered just running away."

"When I was 15 my first serious boyfriend was into sagging his pants (where the top of his underwear/butt would show). My mother hated it, and one night after a couple of glasses of wine she pulled down her pants, mooning us, and warned, 'This is what could happen if you don't pull them up!'"

"I was with my parents when we came across a large bachelorette group all dressed up in pink dresses ready to take a picture in front of their limo. Instead of smiling and walking past, my dad decided to jump right in front of them, scream, and photobomb their picture."

"When I was 12, I had a bad habit of leaving my underwear in my pants when I threw them in the laundry, so my mom threatened to hang my underwear from the mailbox if I did it again. Of course I did it again, and when I came home from school I found them hanging from the mailbox for everyone to see."

"In one he played 'Drift Away' by Uncle Kracker, then, speaking in a smooth radio voice, said, 'You've reached the Hall residence. Unfortunately, we can't take your call because we have...drifted away.'"

"When I was in the sixth grade my mom took me to see Madagascar 3. When the credits started rolling and 'I like to Move it' came on she dragged me to the front of the PACKED theater and started dancing. When I said I didn't want to dance she yelled, 'WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME? I'M JUST TRYING TO HAVE FUN LIKE A COOL MOM!'"

"Once, when I was a sophom*ore, I was really annoyed and just wanted to get to school. My mother said she would get out of the car in her pajamas and dance in front of my school unless I dropped the attitude. Being an idiot kid, I didn't believe her, but when we pulled up to my school she got out and danced behind me until I entered the building. People talked about it for a while."

"While growing up, my dad participated in a lot of endurance events like triathlons, so he shaved his legs to be 'aerodynamic' during the bike portion. When my friends were over he would strut around and ask them to feel how smooth his legs were."

"In 1992 I was 16 and had a new girlfriend I was super excited about. My parents suggested that we all watch a movie together, so I rented The Doors (which I figured would work because hey, my parents are from the '60s). Turns out this movie has a lot of freaky sex in it, and my parents — rather then tell us to turn it off like normal parents — began joking about it and making comments like 'Oh hey, we've never tried that!' and 'Ooh, are they using blood for lube?'"

"In grade school we had a school picnic, and my dad volunteered to be in the dunking booth. My dad not only thought it would be hilarious to wear my mom's one-piece swimsuit while he did it, but he used a megaphone to call out my classmates and friends by name, so they all knew it was my dad."

"I was a cheerleader in middle school and needed tampons, so I texted my mom before a basketball game. We were getting ready to do a cheer when my mother ran out and yelled, in front of the crowd, 'Here are your tampons, honey! I hope they're big enough!' She had a box of super plus in her hand. It was sooo embarrassing!"
