Embarrass is one of those words that I have to look up every time I use it. The two double-letters just confuse me.
Embarrassing your children is an innate skill that actualizes when your kids become teenagers. It's surprisingly effortless as most parents can tell you. I remember embarrassing my son once when I took out my laptop while waiting in the orthodontist's office.
Do you think my son will be embarrassed by what we posted on the billboard we paid for to sponsor his baseball team?
Go to PhotoFunia. You will have so much fun. Thanks to Karen from verbatim for unknowingly granting me permission to shamelessly steal this idea from her blog.

HAHAHA...you mean you actually waited until they were teenagers to kick into embarrassment mode? I manage to embarrass my boys on a regular basis although not as much as their dad does! But deep down, the kids love that we are so involved in their lives and all their friends think we are awesome parents. So embarrass away in a fun way and never in a degrading way.

And the use of the double consonants in the word "embarrassment" causes many people to spell the word harassment improperly.
I see three words being mispelled all of the time and it is because of these "doubles"......accommodate, commitment and harassment.

I agree that embarrassing is an innate skill that actualizes when your kids become teenagers,its a part of life anyway. Keep up the good work.
