Crappy gifts for your 18th birthday

Friday, February 10, 2012
How do you embarrass an 18-year-old boy on his birthday? Get grandma and grandpa to upload a video birthday message on You Tube for all to see. Better yet, do some serious dance moves while singing their own composition called the 'birthday blues'.

Watch the video above and sing along. Happy birthday Josh, yes you are in the news.

But it's not just the grandparents who embarrass our children; teenagers love to taunt parents stating that we are so un-cool. From pretending not to see us when they are with their friends, or asking to be dropped off around the corner, it is just part of growing up.

Even the super-cool celebs embarrass their kids … from acting like a nerd to dressing the wrong way; parents always have a way of turning their kids' faces red.
