In the Parenting Guide to Traumatizing Teenagers category:

We see the commercial where there’s a dancing bear singing Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” being given to a mom for Mother’s Day. They’re dancing, she’s mortified, but trying to get into the groove, I’m humming the song. Cue the convo:

TheBoy: “Course with that song, it’s TOTALLY not appropriate for MOTHER’S DAY!”
The Girl: “No kidding! Sheesh!”
Me, the oh so innocently smiling mom, oh so nanchalant and offhandedly commenting: “Why not? After all, I’m a mom, and I ‘Like to do the wild thing!’ bum, bum bum de bum!”

Their reaction? Well, ya don’t get the screaming – but it looked a little like this:

With many attempts to claw eyes out, and desires stated to scrub their brains. And me? I’m the one laughing hysterically while attempting to hold the camera still to capture this Kodak moment. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
