| Quote |
So, long story short - my son came back to live with me after living with his (more fun & cooler dad) for a whole 5 months. He's 16. He's lied to me a lot in the past. He has to be computer free and doing his homework for 2 hours per night. I check on him and he's using his school laptop and I ask what assignment he's working on - an annotated bibliography - and I see some kid wearing a ski hat way low on the screen- I say - "are you watching a youtube video?!!!" No mom - I'm talking to my friends to see what the assignment is - I say "oh really?" (not believing him) he says "see. I'm talking to them right now" and for God knows what reason I don't believe him and I flip off his computer - more than once - while saying, "hey friends can you see this, flip. flip. flip..." Yeah well, I'd never heard of SKYPE before. Apparently I flipped off 3 of his friends on video chat. To make it worse when he said, "oh my God Mom - you just flipped off my friends" I said "oh right" and hit him in the shoulder! Then he says , "Oh my God, you just flipped off my friends and then hit me - all on video." Yeah - well what can I say? I was always the mom who brought brownies to his class when he was little - did the grand birthday parties - etc... I didn't know about skype. So, in the last 30 minutes I have become famous in our town. The question is - should I put him on the bus tomorrow or drive him to school honking my horn and flipping everyone off??? I'm thinking my run for PTA president is over before it started. :( I'm goona' go have a glass of wine or more.... |

It's uncomfortable for you now, but the ugly feeling will pass. Think of it as a story you'll get to tell your grandchildren someday.
Really, nobody cares all that much about what you did, it's just another sound byte to them...don't fret yourself. 
It's really a kind of sweet and funny story. |

You really didn't flip them off because you didn't know they were there. |

Yes, I have to agree; the OPs lack of paragraphing is abysmal!!
Maybe she can add literacy skills to her list that now includes Skype. |

Actually that is called stylized writing and the OP has a bachelors degree. You?? I certainly wouldn't associate SKYPE with literacy but then again I'm not the one in high school, my son is. Do you know him by chance? |

OP with what kids see on TV, movies, music videos and video games ...flying the bird is nothing. Now if you had come in wearing scanty clothing and talked to your son in baby talk, now that would be embarrassing.
My mom embarrassed me and my friend in a department store elevator full of people by wiggling and saying "I feel so good in my BVDs" (old commercial that was popular at the time), everyone else laughed but I bolted out of the elevator the second the door opened.
Embarrassing your kids is one of the few joys of parenthood, shows that you don't take yourself too seriously.
Have fun with your notoriety. |

My kid just told my about skype. I didn't know about it either. So much is happening in the tech world so fast these days. I give up.
BTW, I like your writing style. Very funny and expressive. A+ |

At once time a couple years ago I had a used Pontiac Prand Prix that was PINK... It had been a Mary Kay Cosmetics sales lady's car earlier in it's life, and I got a really REALLY good ddeal on it. It ran great, no maintenance at all, just a timex that took a licking and kept on ticking you know?
But I also had two early-teen daughters, and while one might THINK they'd be fond of a PINK car, the opposite turned out to be more tha case.
Every time I had to pick them up at school or at a friends house they almost died of embarassment... Because their DAD drove a PINK car!
I loced the hell out of that,a nd played the joke of r all it was worth too!
Mean old SOB, ain't I?!?!?!?

I now know why my pa wore dark sock with his sneakers. Funny these days most kids don't wear white socks.
Looking for my dark sock trick now.
