This is actually a post about a teenage girl

O.K. so I was joking with my daughter about how I was going to embarrass her somehow at high school ... Told her I was going to send a barbershop quarter and other various things .. We both had some good laughs, and while we had fun you could tell she would KILL me if I actually did anything like that :o)In a moment of pure BRILLIANCE, I wanted to do something nice for her ... and thought of sending her flowers at school. I thought it "bordered" on embarrassing her but at the same time my real intentions were to let her know I was thinking of her.I'm not well off financially and I just happened to have some money where I could do something nice for her. Quickly after her getting the flowers I can tell she is NOT happy about it. I can definitely see, in hindsight how it would be REALLY embarrassing for a Freshman girl to get flowers from her Dad at school ...So I screwed the pooch here. I should of known flowers period were a bad idea as her Mom absolutely hated them when we were together. It was like I got her a bag of ice when I gave them to her - I'm dead serious ...So here I am ... the fun joking backfired on my horribly bad because I actually did intend to do something nice but I knew I was pushing the embarassing line a bit. I just didn't realize how uch I pushed the line until the order was WELL on it's way ...So now, I told her an excuse she could use to tell her friends why she got them, after she of course told me "They're Nice" - she's too kind hearted to say "Dad, that was really embarrassing!"We're so damn distant with EVERYTHING nowdays ... I tend to have a sense of humour people don't apppreciate, and I swear to God right when I thought of ordering the flowers I thought ... "That would be nice, girls always like flowers" BUT part of the idea popped in my head because I had been thinking of ways (playfully) to embarass her the last few days - and we both were joking about it ..How do I save myself ? I'm now vry clearly seeing how she is embarrassed (most likely) in a way that is probably worst then had I actually sent a barber shop quartet. At least that would have been comedic ... ShitThanks for the replies guy, think this is just at the point where I will let the "Dead Dog Lie" ... Do appreciate those of you who responded though via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2CT51ln
