That was funny!

.
I agree, very funny. 
.
It made me a little sad, though, because I hope others like Mike here realize what a blessing they have in parents who are alive.
.
Because after they're gone, you can't take them places anymore, and you can't enjoy being embarrassed anymore.
.
So go ahead, and take your parents all over the world, if you can.
.
Spend as much time as you can with them, even time you think you can't afford.
.
And when they ask you if you'd like to go with them someplace, don't say no, because you'll live to regret it.
.
Because once it's too late there's no chance of making up for lost time.
.
Between the lines of this funny story, I can see the hidden message, that Mike Rowe really does appreciate his parents.
.
And being a little embarrassed is a very small price to pay. I think he knows that.
