"I pop gum. My parents get so annoyed with me. I know my dad wishes he never taught me how to do that"

This quote by Hilary Duff is likely describing her practice of popping her gum. It is likely a practice she got from her daddy, and it is something that her parents are not fond of. She understands that her daddy wishes he never taught her how to do it, as it is a routine that her moms and dads find annoying. It is most likely that Hilary does not intend to be disrespectful to her moms and dads, but she is unable to break the practice. This quote is a suggestion that even though we may learn something from our moms and dads, it does not imply that it is something that we must continue to do. We should bear in mind our parents' desires and respect their opinions.
