1. I take some pride in embarassing my daughters.

I have a sardonic and witty interaction that people find humorous when they first are exposed to it.

My daughters appreciation has not however stood the test of time.

When I enter into my shtick they will look away and with tremendous self control attempt (but fail) not to smile a little before they say "Dad stop it".

When I do it in the presence of their husbands or friends I can get quite a good response going but my daughters are left to telling their friends "Please don't laugh it only encourages him". Exhortations are usually accompanied with a severe pinch.

I do embarrass them, I thought that's what fathers were for.
