My senior year of high school, I was in the all-state choir, which was part of a huge music convention at a big convention center in the state capital. I had made some new friends and there were tons of people there I admired and respected. On the day of the concert, I'm milling about with some people when an alto is like, "Who is that guy doing pushups on the escalator?" and there was my dad, having spotted me in the crowd and determined to embarrass me in the most spectacular way possible. It was pretty awesome, actually.
