I'd like to suggest the following pic from Seitokai Yakuindomo. I think it conveys the trope quite nicely.

EDIT: Here's one with said parent's immediate reaction. Suggested caption for the second one: "Crap, now my mom's shipping us."

First one seems fine to me. I'm not a fan of paneled page images unless it's absolutely necessary, and I don't think it is here.

First panel is fine on its own. The second panel with the reaction really lessens it, in my opinion.

I'd go with the single panel. The parental reaction of being happy about what they're seeing is so uncommon as to be a subversion, I'd say.

My vote's for the single-panel as well.

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

First is enough.

Good enough; the first panel's up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?
