What's the most embarrassing thing your parents have said?

Or grandparents, because they come out with some crackers too.

Gonna buy your mum some tampons, she's on the blob.

F U DAD!!

I've had some hideous moments that I couldn't bear to say on here but when I was younger I was an avid reader and my mum used to tell all of my teachers on parent's evenings that I would read in the bath. Why such information was necessary I will never know!

Well not so embarrassing but at the interview with my Geography teacher my mum said she would take me down to the rivers to illustrate how meanders work. Then the next day he asked if she was serious.

Ditto, only mine came late on, and with a twist

Not telling

I have a much more embarrassing story involving reading, baths and several thousand pounds worth of damage...

Did the book not get wet?



Was she serious?

Please expand!

Basically, I was 10 or something and my mum sent me up to put the bath water on. For some reason, I decided to read a book on the bathroom floor whilst I was waiting for the bath to fill up. Something you should know about me: When I concentrate on something, everything else fades away. A while later, I heard a yell from downstairs and I realised I was sitting in well over an inch of water. I was so engrossed in the book I hadn't even noticed that the bath had overflown, despite the fact that I was sitting on the flooded floor and covered in water. The water had gone through the floor and a sizeable chunk of the living room ceiling had collapsed, leaving a massive hole. It was so big that we couldn't actually finance the repairs for years, we literally had a big hole in the ceiling. I no longer take baths.
