How to make your teenager cringe

<p>I was thinking about making my 24 year old cringe.
I read that Morgan Freeman is currently making a [movie](<a href=“Feast of Love (2007) - IMDb”>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800027/&lt;/a&gt; )on her campus( he plays the philosophy professor) which I thought was great, give Reed a little racial diversity ! lol

• and her sister is out of town so I * could* be looking for something to go do ;)</p>

<p>But watching a movie being made is actually pretty tedious. Gene Hackman and Ellen Burstyn ( & Ann-Margret) , made a movie several years ago in our area, & Hackmans trailer was parked at the top of our hill- while they were shooting. I watched for a little bit, but really nothing happens except to repeat the same scene over and over and over again.</p>

<p>Watching a film being made is about exciting as watching grass grow. The only entertainment is watching the PA’s run around trying to appear important and quieting the gawkers. I think most of them are getting minimum wage or less for the “experience”.</p>

<p>In my humble opinion, the Most Cringe-Worthy Winner would have to be</p>

<p>“wearing my thong to the beach” - wharfrat2</p>

<p>“wearing my thong to the beach” - wharfrat2"</p>

<p>And that’s without having ever seen me. If you saw me you would be overcome by waves of nausea and light-headedness at the mere suggestion.</p>

<p>In fact I dare say it would induce a mass outbreak of what used to be known as the vapors.</p>

<p>I don’t even * have* a thong bathing suit, although I do have a two piece( only because it is a lot easier to um, use the bathroom, than try and deal with a wet one piece)
My D cringes when I refer to “flip flops” as my “thongs” because that is what we used to call them in the olden days!</p>

<p>I must be a dreadfully disappointing child in the “parental-amusement-through-awkwardness-of-teenaged-progeny” department. ^.^</p>

3. Ask to play with the complimentary kids’ toys or crayons at a family restaurant (hey, I’m a teacher - I need to field test these things!)</p>

<li>Talk about how cute he was as a baby and about his embarassing childhood moments.

I do this. With my friends. My mom has a reputation to uphold, so she wouldn’t do #3 if my friends were around, but just us two together, sure. #4 is free game for anytime. I tell my friends about how cute I was as a baby. :p</li>

We like to turn rap music up and roll the windows down while wildly rocking our heads to the music and throwing each other made up hand signs. Kids will quickly disappear below window level! We’ve never made it through a whole song without laughing so much we had to stop rocking out.

Sounds like something my mom and I would do. :D</p>

<p>

@katliamom

• dance to rock in front of your kids
• sing

Another thing my mom and I do… oh yeah. </p>

@pokey318

Giving said child a kiss or hug in public.

Heh heh–my mom is a high school teacher, and we hug each other ALL THE TIME at school. :D:D:D I love my mom.</p>

[katliamom]

<p>I agree. Chedva made me literally lol</p>
