If you ever want to embarrass your kid in public, just toss out a “dad joke.” It’s still the most efficient way to do it.
One in six parents say “bad jokes” and “awful puns” are the top things that can make their kids cringe.
The survey specifically looked at family vacations and found the average parent embarrasses their child two to four times per trip. (That’s according to parents. Ask the KIDS next time, it’s probably more like four times an hour.)
Other things that can tick off your kids on a trip include making them wake up early, taking too many photos, and posting shots of them on social media.
(One of the sources for that story says 2.6 embarrassments per trip, and the other says 3.5. Whoever messed that up must be embarrassed.)
