My 15 y/o son says I’m wasting time & embarassing him by making videos of toilet paper funerals, I say I should keep making them because I think they’re funny. Who’s right? #ChrissysCourt

Well, mine are grown up now, but I remember when absolutely anything was an embarrassment to them, especially one of my sons. I guess he really thought that his peers believed that he was an independent being, living on his own.

You DO always hold that "Embarrassment Card". I threatened to pull it out numerous times when my kids were teens. It worked because they knew I'd do it.

(Sometimes you have to prove you're going to follow through.)

That said, this is hilarious. Nothing to be embarrassed about at all.
