When you're a kid, you constantly fear that your parents are going to embarrass you in public. For instance, I will never forget that one time when I was 11 years old and going to the movies with my whole family, an activity that led to major embarrassment when my Dad was grooving to the music during the previews. I was mortified that a friend or classmate from school was at the theater and would see my father dance like nobody was watching because everyone was watching.
