What do you do that embarrasses your kid? Probably even more things than you even know about, but that’s part of the job of being a parent, right? A middle school teacher in Palm Springs, California recently asked his students to share something about their parents that makes them cringe. And then he turned their answers into a video that’s gone viral on TikTok.
The 59-second clip, posted by 7thGradeChronicles, has racked up more than 6.7-million views and has been cracking the Internet up. The text overlay at the beginning of the video reads “Asked my students the following question: What is something your parents or guardians do that makes you cringe?” To keep their responses anonymous, students wrote their responses on Post-It notes and here’s what they had to say:
- “My mom uses Facebook!”
- “My dad still wears speedos”
- “Takes mirror selfies”
- “Listens to Katy Perry!”
- “When they say ‘that’s tight!’”
- “Watching NCIS”
- “Making me order off the kid’s menu even tho I”m 13”
- “My mom calls herself ‘gangster’ … Girl no.”
- “My mom also hangs up positivity signs. ‘Live. Laugh. Love.’”
- “My mom still dabs.”
- “My mom does … TikTok dances”
- “When my mom wears her boots with her shorts”
