1. When talking to them on the cell phone, keep repeating "I love you." until they have to repeat it in front of their friends. 2. Dad to do cheerleading stunts at their soccer (sports) events. 3. When the kids leave up their IM's, get on and tell thier friends "I'm so pretty!" Or talk to their friends and tell them juicy things about your kids, like "We call Drew a Giant Hobbit because he is soooo tall and has the hairiest ankles ever." 4. Talk to their friends. Better yet, volunteer to be leaders of things they are involved in. Then their friends will think you are cool, and your kids will be really embarassed. Their friends like it when you tell them things about your kids. (we are the Drama leaders, lol) 5. Chew out stores for having bad customer service, or screw up your order. (my teens hide their faces in hoodies when we go through the McDonald's drive through) 6. Tell embarassing stories about them in front of them. Like the time they did something nekkid, hehe. 7. Talk about their favorite bands and stuff, and be totally dumb about it. (apparently Alien Youth is not a band, but a CD title by dd's favorite band Skillet. No wonder I couldn't find it.) 8. Try to be cool, use their slang. (My mom did this. "Gel out!" instead of chill out in the 80's) 9. Get caught making out with your spouse. Man, the kids hate that! (Cody told us to get a room one time! LOL) (oh and our pastor caught us kissing at church, lol, that was funny!) 10. Check all their "stuff" regularily, like emails, IM's over their shoulders, their MySpaces. 11. Lick your finger and wipe their face in front of their friends. 12. Talk. Exist. You know, just be yourself. 13. Blog about them.

Singing and dancing are also REALLY embarrassing for kids when parents do it.
Yep, those could be very embarrasing. But since we parents have to put up with the kids, we should be able to have a little fun too :) Don't forget the one where you bring their undewear out in front of their friends (especially friends of the opposite sex).
those are pretty funny list! but i don't think i wanna embarrass my kids , well i think i am going to w/o my knowledge i did it!LoL!
SO funny!! An other one... tease them about a crush they have in front of family (aunts and uncles)... That really embarassed me when I was young!
It was just being me that did it for our son. . . well, that and bellydancing. . .
#8 totally made me laugh out loud! =)
Embarrassment, the parent's ultimate weapon.
I like saying things that I know were hip two years ago as if I think they're hip now. Like now, I'm all, "Yo. Wuzzup, Dog?" complete with the sideways peace sign. I've done this so much, that my oldest daughter calls me Homey-G most of the time.
I'm sure my daughters are now as twisted as your kids will be.
For years, when Lovely Wife would drop them off, and their friends were standing around, she would roll down her window, and in her loudest, slowest Alabama accent shout, "You be sweet, now! Make good choices!"
Revenge IS a dish best served cold.
oh, this was great!
i totally agree with #12. that's all it takes, really.
my mom used to say "cool, man!" and somehow, she said it all wrong, and she just sounded like a dork.
my other favorite way to embarass them, or at least make them flinch is to touch their hair as if you're fixing it. they freak the hell out.
Now that I have the right post! Sheesh. My little ones are hard to embarass, as little boys have no shame. Their sister is another story. But I really like embarassing their moms with stories about how they behaved when they were the little ones age. I tell them right in front of their kids as punishment for what they put me through. It never gets old. I'm such a mean uncle!
Thanks for visiting my 32nd Thursday Thirteen 13 Quotes About Women Edition.
Too funny! All of what you said is right on the money! This will make kids crawl under a table!
Thanks for stopping by Mo Mhile Gra'!
My eight year old really hates #9. Hilarious list!
hilarious!!!!! and ohhhh soooooo true.
Very nice. My aunt had a friend whose dad used to take out his false teeth and clack them.
My mom loved making me blush! I can't wait until my girls are older and I can do it to them!
I'm sure that I've embarrassed my children. But it's been unintentional. I'd hate to provoke them on purpose.
#8 was very funny. :o)
Ooooh, I knew blogging would be usefull someday!
What a great list! Hilarious! Aren't kids fun?
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!

LOL! This is a great list, particularly if your goal in life (as I tell my kids mine is) is to embarrass them. I do quite a few of those myself.
Good list! TOo funny. And if anyone should know about kids, it would be you. :D
My dad used to embarrass the dickens out of me by showing up at our school events (sports, plays) and hooting at the end during the applause. You could hear him above everything..."Aaah HAAA!" he would yell.
Still makes me cringe to think about it and I'm 40 now! :D
Great list! My parents never embarrassed me! Nope not the once! :D Yeah right!
Happy TT!
