Share some funny overprotective parents stories.
My neighbor's parents were overprotective. When she went on her first date at 16, her dad followed them in his car at a discreet distance. He thought he was being sneaky, but the boy noticed and it made for an awkward yet hilarious situation. Her dad also called her every half hour to check in, which made the date more about her talking to her dad than the boy.
One time, my friend's parents made him wear a life jacket even when he was just wading in a knee - deep kiddie pool. It was so funny because he looked ridiculous all puffed up like a marshmallow while the other kids were in their regular swimsuits.
A colleague of mine told me that when she was in college, her mother would send her care packages every week. But it wasn't just normal care packages. Her mother included things like a whistle to call for help, a mini - first - aid kit, and a note with a list of emergency contacts including the local police station number. It was really funny how her mother still treated her like a little kid even though she was living on campus and trying to be independent.

There was this time when my brother and I were at the park. I was about to go on the swings and a little kid was running around near it. My brother quickly stepped in front of me and told the kid to stay away from 'his sister'. The kid just stared at him blankly. Then my brother went on to check the swing for any'safety hazards' as if it was a dangerous machine. I couldn't stop laughing at how overprotective he was being.
