I don't have kids so I only have me to embarass myself.
A woman that I used to work with at a summer theatre had a very tragic week. Her father died, and her sister committed suicide on the day of the funeral. This was about a week before the show we were in was scheduled to go on tour. "Evelyn" was my understudy, and I had elected not to do the tour and she was taking over the role. The night before they left, to encourage her I said "Knock 'em dead."
