The time I tried to be cool and failed spectacularly
My 14 year old was having friends over so I decided to be the cool dad and order pizza. When it arrived I did that thing where you open the box and go 'Who ordered the pizza?' in a silly voice. The whole room just stared at me in silence. One of his friends looked genuinely uncomfortable. My son put his head in his hands and said 'Dad please never do that again.' So yeah I'm the uncool dad now. Pretty sure I heard his friends laughing at me as I walked away. Worth it though.
This story setup is perfect and I'm dying to know how it went wrong. Did you show up with slices on your face or something worse? Teen social catastrophes are my favorite kind.
