I hope you'll pardon my saying that is hilarious and awesome.
I think that I was desensitized to embarrassment as a 9 year old, when I used to arrive at school daily on the handlebars of my stepdad's 10 speed - said stepdad clad only in hot pink swim trunks, high top sneakers, and knee high tube socks that had been rolled down to the ankle. Oh, and big reflective sunglasses. Did I mention he had very long, clown-wig-curly hair? Once that year my mother got called in for a conference and she arrived smoking a cigarette, wearing a shirt that said "If you wanna complain about my badass attitude, dial 1-800-EAT-SHIT". Point being, I had to buck up early and decide I LIKED standing out for survival :p
