After the work for the day was generally finished, I was chatting with the office folks and we got to talking about the kind of shit parents pull on their kids that they think is funny. Specifically, traumatizing memories from childhood of our parents.
Examples:
1. My boss's dad woke up his two young daughters with a crow-call after they had all watched The Birds.
2. My father talking me into pulling a baby tooth by tying it to a door and kicking it shut.
3. Laura laughing uncontrollably at her fiance hitting his head on the cabinet... ok, this isn't that funny secondhand, nor is it a parent-child tale, hmmm.
What did your parents do to you that has forever changed your outlook on embarrassment or humor?
On the day that I was born, Daddy sat down and cried.
