Gênante ouders, wie kent ze niet? Als je dacht dat jouw ouders gênant waren, dan weet je na het lezen van deze tweets dat je niet de enige bent. Misschien vallen die van jou zelfs nog wel mee.
1. Gevalletje voor het zingen de kerk uit.
What is the most embarrassing thing your parents have ever done in front of you?
Mine is probably when, half way through a punk gig, my mum, having heard that I was there, turned up at the rough local pub and dragged me home.
I was sixteen.
I was also the band’s lead singer.

2. Hij trok zich er geen bal van aan.
A cycling holiday with my parents in the 80s, my dad wearing a pair of far too short shorts and when getting off his bike flashed his testicles at the entire cafe. Remember my mum shouting ‘Peter! Your balls!’

3. Dat liep als een tiet.
The day my mum was discharged from hospital after her mastectomy, a nurse said, “Now, have got everything, Mrs Campbell? Not left anything behind?”
Mum answered, “No, just my left tit.”
My uncle RAN to his car and I had to walk her out, howling.— Mags Campbell (@writersblock08) November 8, 2019
4. Leeftijd is maar een getal.
My mum caught me smoking outside Morrisons & demanded that I get in the car with her immediately.
I was 36.

5. Wanneer je de bloemetjes en de bijtjes iéts te letterlijk neemt.
Both parents were doctors so when I was eight and my mum was pregnant I asked how the baby got in there and how it will get out. Naturally they decided it was time for my first anatomy lesson and mum showed me her bits while dad explained the process.
I have no children.

6. Once a mama’s kindje, always a mama’s kindje.
Went down injured in a rugby match and saw my mother running onto the pitch yelling “are you ok” and “he’s my son”. It took me a decade to hold my head up in the club.
A decade later I went to tackle a second row and my fiancee yelled out “leave him alone, you’re too big”.— John Walshe (@WalberryCP) November 9, 2019
7. Te veel actiefilms gekeken.
When I was 11 I left the house and made it to the school bus without my coat, despite it being below freezing, once the bus was moving I claimed victory, until my father overtook us, did a handbrake turn in the road to make it stop then boarded the bus to hand me my coat.

8. Rare maar waar.
I was out for a birthday meal with my folks. Ordering my steak rare, mum interrupted asking if I was sure I wanted it like that. 43 years old. Forty Three.

9. Hier zit een luchtje aan.
Two kids were banned for throwing stink bombs from our local shopping centre.
It was my mums farts.
The 4 of us were in a lift when mum passed wind again. We all fell choking out of the lift where security promptly escorted them off the premises.

10. Hoe zou ze “Kinderen, aan tafel!” roepen?
My mum is a trained operatic singer, as well as being a teacher at my primary school. So every assembly when the school sang songs, you could hear her above the entire school, & every student would turn to look at me. Embarrassing at the time, but retrospectively kinda proud.

11. Liggend of staand, die ouders zijn niet te stoppen.
We had to be interviewed by the scary headmistress of my school before I could be accepted as a pupil. Dad had a bad back & mum had just had a minor operation. So he spent the interview lying on the office floor while my mum could only stand up. Weirdest 45 minutes of my life

12. Die vader dacht: “Gênant? Hold my cape.”
Went to my 1st under 18’s disco in an over 18’s club on condition Dad picked me up. I was 16 & agreed so long as he parked round the corner to not embarrass me. He turned up, right across the road wearing a deerstalker & a superman cape waving & yelling ‘coooeeeee I’m here Helen’

13. Dat can echt niet.
Shopping with my mum in a market town, and there was a bloke sitting in a wheelchair with a charity collection tin. She put 20p in, and then saw it was a can of coke and he wasn’t collecting at all…

14. De beste plot twist ooit.
When I was 12 we were on holiday in Ireland. 3 members of the Dubliners were playing at the pub and word got out my dad was in a band. They’ll loudly announced for him to play. I was already running to the toilets, dying of embarrassment as he picked up a guitar and started..
— Chris Jennings (@chrisfishdish) November 9, 2019
..from the toilets I heard a huge roar as he started playing Beatles songs brilliantly. The whole pub was swaying and singing as my old man blew the roof off. It was the most embarrassing moment followed quickly by my proudest. You were the best Dad, I miss you 🙌

15. En we eindigen met een knal, of meer.
Grandparent story…hope it’s allowed. My grandad loudly farted on every single step in a department store. When he got to the bottom, he looked at the horrified shoppers and reassured them that there was no structural damage.
