When I was younger and my parents used to always slap my hand if I was picking my nose or if I was running around screaming I was told to shut up.

When I was younger, my sister thought it was funny to pretend to punch me in the face because my mom was concerned about my teeth falling out. They were loose for a long time, and she knocked out my teeth.

My grandmother used to embarrass me more, when she would pick me up from school wearing a big fuzzy hat. I didn't like that.

I was embarrassed by my parents. I thought they had nothing of interest to say or contribute to anything. My real crime was not understanding that they were interesting, and I have been trying to make it up to them for being so indescribably blase, so genuinely uninterested and dismissive.

My parents are older, and they lead a somewhat sheltered life. It was difficult to talk with them about things that were embarrassing to me, and that I had never spoken to them about.

I think it's the human condition to be frequently embarrassed by your parents.

When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!

When I was a little kid, I told stories.

My own parents were touchy-feely.

I bugged my mom and dad to 'get me inside the television set' when I was about four years old.
