My eleven-year-old daughter had another dance competition today. Her team did awesome. It was a national competition, and they won first place overall!
Anyway, last night we were in our hotel room, dressed in our pajamas and ready for bed. My daughter wanted to watch TV, so we turned it on - to music videos.
The music made me want to get up and start dancing. So I did.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Doing a Bubba dance," I replied.
She watched me and rolled her eyes. "Mom, you seriously need to take dance lessons!"
So what did I do? I busted another move.
She totally cracked up. "Mom, you're embarrassing me, and there's not even anybody else in the room!"
"Sorry, kid," I said. "I'm just doing my job!"
Saw the picture on Facebook. Congrats all round.

I'll pass it on to my daughter!
DeleteCongrats on the win and haha embarrass away
ReplyDeleteI'm really good at embarrassing my daughter. It takes absolutely no effort on my part! ;)
DeleteAnd that is absolutely the job of the parent. I have to remind my 16 year old of that time and time again.
ReplyDeleteAnd does she get it?
DeleteCongrats to her! That's really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's definitely our job to embarrass our kids. ☺
Parents are experts at that!

Well done to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassing your children is the best part of being a parent. Now you can rest in the knowledge that your work is done. :)
Oh no. I have to keep doing it! My work with embarrassing my kids is never done!
DeleteThis was an entertaining scene to picture in my head. hehe
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm kind of glad I couldn't see myself. I think I would've been embarrassed!
DeleteYep, you were definitely doing your job! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's part of my job description!
DeleteCongrats to your daughter for winning first place! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at you "doing your job." Causing embarrassment definitely seems to be one of the perks of parenthood!
I think it's the best part of my job!
DeleteWow, your daughter must be so happy, well done! Haha I wonder which music you danced to.
ReplyDeleteOne of the songs was Bridgette Mendler's, Hurricane. Rap/hip hop.
DeleteMy daughter was absolutely thrilled. That was a big competition, and there were a lot of really good teams she was up against.
Yep, that's a mom's job all right! My mom was always better at it than my dad -- because his dad always embarrassed the living heck out of him growing up.
ReplyDeleteWow. It must've been a traumatic experience!
ReplyDeleteWell done. It IS your job to embarrass her. If she misbehaves, all you have to do is dance in public, or threaten to dance.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Ha! I'll keep that in mind!
DeleteLol! Sounds like the advice I get from my daughter! To take some dance lessons before dancing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I had dance lessons! I must've been a bad student. ;)
DeleteThat's what moms are for!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win!
Absolutely! And thank you!
DeleteGood post. Sounds like fun.
