Because mine did. When I was like 4 years old one of thing my dad taught me to do for entertainment was to pull my shirt up on my head and do a Cornholio impression. That one was a huge hit with my grandpa. Also hilarious in retrospect was that in being born in 1998, I was introduced at an early age to the still somewhat contemporary 90s classic “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix a Lot. Not knowing what the song was really about, I enjoyed singing along to it because butts are hilarious, and my dad agreed this was hilarious for other reasons. My mom was pretty horrified when “sprung” became part of my vocabulary as a result of it though. Did your parents/older family members ever get you to do inappropriate and funny crap as a little kid?

When I was real young, my dad would get me to sing songs originally in Spanish while entertaining people with his guitar. Since neither of my parents ever took it upon themselves to teach me Spanish, I only ever learned it phonetically from listening to Mexican music, reading and translating into English if there was a Spanish>English source available, and hearing my parents speak it (they are both fluent in it), yet I knew very little of what the hell any of it meant. I most likely butchered the language and people would laugh thinking it was cute, but as I got older caught on as to why people would laugh at my Spanish and I became self conscious about speaking it for years. I speak Spanish now. Not as fluently as my folks, but I understand and read it fluently and usually answer back in English if given the chance. I bet my drat folks just wanted to talk poo poo about me in front of me without me knowing what the hell they were saying lol.

I took piano lessons starting at age 8. At one point, I was learning a bunch of popular theme songs, like Jurassic Park, Addams Family, and Star Wars. My mom got it in her head that it would be SO cool if she made up a story for the next time she and her friends were having a get-together at our place. This story would be some fantastical tale and when she'd say certain words, I'd play a bit of the theme to whatever it was. In her mind, this was peak entertainment. I don't remember the story, except for one part that sticks into my mind, where she said the words, as if it was a character, "and then, suddenly, Star Wars came in!" I remember playing it, feeling extremely embarrassed, and then faking not feeling well to get out of doing the rest. It's 33 years later and I'm still embarrassed.

Absolutely not, what if one of their peers were to find out? I was in etiquette school every year of my childhood from kindergarten.

This is definitely an embarassing thing your parents made you do lmao Edit: my parents trotted me out to recite spelling things like ornithorhynchus (scientific name for the platypus) and poo poo for their friends to show I was smart and therefore a good one, then they'd shove me away to be sad somewhere else I was such a chump kid lol

No my parents were joyless and would have considered something like that an embarrassment and would have criticized me for it probably.

Probaby those games where you have to say what the animal says. Like the cow goes moo and so on and when you finally come to the lion you get to say "WRARRR!" at the top of your lungs.

My Mom thought Steve Jobs and Apple were really cool, so she'd buy me black mock turtlenecks to wear all the time. Getting a job in high school was great since I had money to buy some clothes that weren't black mock turtlenecks. Despite this, in my senior photo in high school I'm still wearing a black mock turtleneck. On the other hand, my younger sister would routinely get in screaming matches with my mom over what clothes she wanted her to wear. I was secretly very impressed; I didn't realize that was an option.
