Your parents did so many things right; they clothed you, fed you and bathed you €“ they were generally amazing. When you needed money they€™d give you a couple of notes to keep you at bay, they were your own personal taxi service and when you felt the world crashing down on you and needed a shoulder to cry on, they dropped everything and gave you all the time you needed. However, as brilliant as they are there is one simple truth every child knows; your Mum and Dad are so embarrassing €“ to the point where you can€™t be seen anywhere public with them.
