Summary

This quote reflects the common sentiment among adolescents that having parents, particularly in public settings, can be an embarrassing experience for them. During this stage of development, individuals often strive for independence and seek to establish their own identity separate from their parents. They may view parental behavior, even when well-intentioned, as intrusive or embarrassing, as it reminds them of their dependency and can potentially undermine their desired image among peers. Ultimately, it highlights the natural but sometimes challenging dynamic between adolescents and their parents.

The improved American highway system isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson's nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.
