OK, not really, but I do seem to manage to do it an awful lot. Somehow I still manage to be "cooler" than other parents. I'm not really sure how that works out, but I'm not questioning it too much. My mom OTOH, still manages to embarrass the heck out of both of us. My sweet DD has asked if we could curb the shopping trips with her, and I have to admit that I sympathize with DD. My mom is getting out of hand, and it is NOT my mother's age. She just doesn't know how to behave in some social settings. And yes, I do mean behave. I LIVE to embarrass my tween.

Probably that's the best a parent can do....take the time to tune in to your teen's world from their point of view. It just takes a bit of time and a little sensitivity. Nice story, Christine. :> That story is perfect for describing both how the teens feel and how an adult should empathize with them.
