Whenever I watch American Idol (and I watch it. Religiously.) I always cringe imagining that it was one of my kids up there being judged by the entire world. I can barely watch when people that I don’t know are up there embarrassing themselves…couldn’t begin to think how I would handle it being one of my kids.

To that end, I thought this video from last week’s Jimmy Kimmel Show was particularly funny. It would be tough to watch your kid on American Idol, but what if you knew he or she just wasn’t good?
