    Sylvia;

    My kids had to be in a kazoo band when they were young with their Dad. Embarrassing!
    Thanks Sylvia, have a great week.

    Great tonight, Peggy! Dad probably will go get a pair of crutches. Not that he tries on the Internet slang, but lame would't phase him anyway.
    ..
    Peggy, I didn't see your name on Mr. Linky's sign-up role tonight. You will want to check it out.

    And guess what? My word verification was "embar."

    A Kazoo band! Surely suicide was a better option.
    Nice take on the picture, Peggy. Take care of yourself.

    Jim;

    Dad will not understand the word lame.
    Thanks for the heads up on MR Linky's.
    I signed myself in again, so I'll keep checking back. I never even thought to recheck.
    "Embar" goes so well with my microfiction.
    Thanks for the laugh.

    Thanks Dan; the kids looked like they would do anything not to have to march in the parade with the Kazoo's!
    Take care!

    As a dad, I am constantly being told I'm embarrassing. I know I'm doing my job!

    Man, oh, man, there's only one thing that could make this even worse for the poor kid: if dear ol' "Dad" starts dancing! LOL!

    Good times here! Thanks!

    It's an unwritten law that parents must, at every opportunity, embarrass their kids...just ask my daughter.

    I know a Dad or two who would be the biggest & most embarrassing they could be to burn a crimson shade in their kidlets' cheeks! :>

    Good one. Of course, embarrassment is not limited to Dad. Moms and Grandmas love to get in on the act too. LOL
