Despite the fact that both my parents are very much the modern-day hippy, they can be as embarrassing as all-get-out. I've never had to worry about my parents embarrassing me in front of my friends (or the friends I used to have, anyways), or worry about them doing something extremely dorky, because nine times out of ten, my friends end up hanging out with <em>them</em>. And no matter what they say, it's not the people around us that effects the situation, but <em>my own</em> frame of mine. For instance, I caught this little gem when my headphones were off:

<strong>Me:</strong> *listening to Amanda Ghost eight million times*
<strong>Mom:</strong> *looks at Dad* You got oysters! *squees and cackles*
<strong>Aunt:</strong> *eating them*
<strong>Dad:</strong> *hugs Aunt* "Yes, she's <em>happy</em>. She got oysters <em>and</em> she got laid this morning…"

*facepalm*
