Hmm... I would have to say one of the highlights was when I was in junior high (you know, the age when EVERYTHING your parents do is embarrasing).
So my mom was supposed to be picking me up from school, which was embarrasing enough because she drove a giant ugly 70's model Pontiac Grand Prix that made funny noises. Normally I could hear her coming, and I would run up closer to the road so she wouldn't pull into the parking lot and nobody would see me.... Anyway, so there is a "school zone" on the main road where you can't go over 20 miles per hour, and evidently she was going faster than that. As luck would have it, there happened to be a cop monitoring the zone.
Of course the only place she could pull over in that area was right into my school parking lot.... and naturally she would have to pull up right in front of the door where EVERYBODY was standing.
Oh yeah. Loud ugly car, police vehicle with flashing lights, my little sister who was a baby at the time screaming bloody murder in the back seat, angry mom behind the wheel. You get the idea.
I tried to hide in the laughing/ pointing crowd, but my mom spotted me. She rolled down her window and yelled out not only my first name, but my middle name too, and told me to get in the car.
I had to sit in the car while the officer took his time calling in the info, wrote the ticket..etc. All in plain view of the other students.
I still get embarrased just thinking about it.
