Talk about my high school graduation... They call my name to receive my diploma... out of all the kids, MY kin stands up and screeches, hoots, hollers, cat calls, you name it.
But they really just did it to show me how proud they were of me.
Listen. Pretty much everyone has at least one relative who is embarrassing. Yes, I'm sure your friends have family like that, too.
Try to let it roll off your back. Laugh it off.
They don't mean to be embarrassing. That's how I deal. It's worked for years without number.
This is a big day for you. ENJOY IT. Rather than getting embarrassed, keep in mind, "Boy, I'm glad my family loves me enough to come and celebrate this day with me."
