Have your parents ever savagely embarrassed you and not even realized it?
How about they did realize it, but they simply didn’t give a f*ck because you might have been acting like a diva?
Yeah, they have! ? ?
Writer Alanna Bennett’s mom did once and she just had to share the shame on Twitter…
Please tell me about a time your parents unintentionally dragged you within an inch of your life. I’ll go first: Once in college my mom sent me a care package that was just acne face washes and the book He’s Just Not That Into You

Ouch.
And that memory has apparently never gone away.
I’ve tweeted about this before and I will tweet about it again because it haunts me to this day

Once Alanna shared, you know other people wanted to jump in on the fun.
Like Julia’s dad and his hush money…
When I was 12, my dad passed a $20 to the person he thought was my sleep-away counselor for ‘putting up with me’ for four weeks. In front of me. Turns out it was the girl who had bullied me all summer.

Or Alan’s “gift”…
Around 10 years old I went to the birthday party 4 a female friend the same age. It was a last-minute invite and my mom bought a present. I had no idea what it was. Imagine my face as she opened the package girls panties. Pink yellow and white. Believe me I remember the colors.

Rita’s dad doesn’t know how to refer to breasts correctly…
The time my Dad told me I needed to buy a “brassiere” because I was starting to grow bosoms (which he pronounced “ba-zooms”). I was 10, and he said it in front of a friend.

And Leigh’s dad is kind of a d%ck…
When I told my father that I didn’t want any children, he scoffed and said, “why? it’s not like you need to worry about losing your figure.”

Oh look! Another fun daddy/daughter exchange!
My parents showed up for my PhD graduation with my ‘dowry’ because as my dad said: “you aren’t get married anytime soon”. I bought great furniture with it.

These parents are apparently SO proud!
Two years ago when I went home for thanksgiving my mom had put on the fridge:
-a picture of my sister and her husband
-a picture of my brother and his wife
-a selfie of me that she screengrabbed and printed from my instagram— Carrie Soom (@iamcarriesoom) March 26, 2019
This dad had a solution for his picky eater…
I, a picky childhood eater, once complained loudly about what we were having for dinner and sat down to find a single pea on my plate, underneath a clear glass lid

Oh hai cats!
My mom’s bio for her high school reunion had several sentences about my sister followed by “Karen isn’t married, but she does have a cat.”

Sometimes, siblings can make up for the savageness that parents can’t supply…
Not parents but Mom’s crazy sister: Christmas at our house, opening gifts. Uncle opens a fancy magnifying glass. Aunt turns to 13 yoa acne-riddled me holding it in my face & says “Oh look! I see a zit!” ?

Or best friends!
I once got The Worst Case Scenario: Dating and s^x book from both my mum and best friend for my birthday, if that helps.

What are some savage moments your friends and family destroyed you with?
Personally, I have none. Me and my family always get along great and we support each other in everything we do. Always.
And if you believe that…
