[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really funny - it honestly warms my heart that they are all enjoying such a wholesome activity and not something worse.

Semi related, when I was a teen I had a humor column in my school paper where I shared anecdotes that included stories involving my family. My parents could have really thrown a damper on it but I still remember what my dad said - “you are really funny and whatever you write will be really funny. There is a line where you would be embarrassing us and I am trusting you not to cross it. You are talented enough that you can be funny without humiliating anyone.” Looking back he did a perfect job of showing trust, encouraging my creativity, but also subtly reminding me that there are boundaries that are not worth crossing for a cheap laugh. It gave me a good compass to evaluate whatever I wrote and to edit myself. So I think you can encourage your kid while also cueing some introspection![/quote]

+1. Most kids know the line, but it helps to hear that you as a parent trust them to know![/quote]
