If there’s one thing that parents are good at, it’s embarrassing their kids.
No doubt about it!
And this mom really nailed it!
Check out what happened in this story from Reddit’s “Petty Revenge” page.
How to mortify a tween kid.
“I work part time in a mid-sized retail store, pretty close to a local school, so we get a lot of school kids in around 12 buying snacks and candy and whatnot during recess.
A lot of the same kids, so over time I’ve come to recognize a lot of them. One of the groups were quite loudly talking about dabbing, and about how fun it would be to see an employee dab while working.
I could have taken the easy route and just dabbed right there and made his day, but I didn’t, and it would turn out to pay off.
Those little whipper-snappers…
A few days later the same group of kids come in, but this time with the dab-kid’s mom as well. They’re still talking about dabbing, and getting an employee to do it, probably hoping I’d overhear it.
I was about to do it, but then their mom walks towards me, with the kind of mischievous grin only a mother can muster.
The kid, the mom, and myself share a moment – we all know whats about to go down. The mother and I with mischievous grin, and the kid with a mortified look on his face.
“Wanna Dab with me?” she plainly asks.
I dab.
She dabs.
Nothing better than embarrassing a kid!
The kid’s friends are looking in awe.
Dab-kid is mortified, then hangs his head in shame, as his friends start to laugh.
A plan that started out as a way to get a little bit of street cred suddenly backfired, as his friends watched his mom commit the ultimate act of embarrassment.
Made my day though.”
