Times that your parents have embarrassed you
As a kid with a first generation immigrant parent, embarrassing moments were a part of my everyday life (before I learned to not be a shallow douche with regards to my Dad's heritage, at least).
The following moment was brought back into my memory by the joke flopping thread.
When I was about 16, one of my first girlfriends was over, basically meeting my parents. Things went well, as my parents are really nice and sociable. My Dad makes tons of terrible jokes all the time, but they weren't too bad until the following: as me and the gf left to go watch a movie upstairs, my Dad said "be careful, I'm not covering the cost of an abortion." I almost cried on the spot. The gf laughed it off, but I'm sure it did not weigh favorably.
