Shameful behavior followed by embarrassed laughter



My Mom, Dad and me with their 1939 Dodge Coup - Photo was taken in 1942 World War 2, near Vallejo, California.

It's so awkward, isn't it when you’re growing up? I can still remember as a kid when I had done something terribly embarrassing… That evening everybody at the dinner table would be clearing their throats, hem-hawing, trying to find something safe to talk about. At other times then too there was lots of nervous laughter, and questions concerning a family relative who had done something incredibly embarrassing. And then at other times the table’s gossip would turn to a current topical of a relative’s shameful behavior followed by embarrassed laughter.

GOOD TIMES
