Wave at the Bus

Now THIS is what I’m talking about – a family whose love language is embarrassment!!  www.waveatthebus.blogspot.com or http://facebook.com/waveatthebus 

Seriously, there’s a depth here, folks!  Do you love your kids enough to do something silly every day, amidst protest and feigned resistance?  Can you SHOW them you care?  Are you willing to wear a sombrero??

Be the kind of parent who is creatively in love with your teenagers!!  This guy is – and it shows.
