Dad Dresses Up to Embarrass His Son - Every Day of the School Year
Filed under: In The News, Funny Stuff
If you thought a little dancing, singing or bad joke-telling was enough to embarrass your kids, you could learn a thing or two from Dale Price.
The stay-at-home dad from Utah has mortifying his son down to a science -- and it's one that comes with sparkles, capes, makeup and masks. Oh, yes, and drag. Lots of dressing in drag.
The prankster pop wore a different costume for every day of the school year -- that would be 170 in all -- waving from his front lawn to the school bus carrying his teenage son, Rain, "Good Morning America" reports.
Football player, gangster, soldier, chef. Superman, Wonder Woman, rock star, clown. Michael Jackson, Santa Claus, bride. Every single day, a different costume.
"The lowest day was the Little Mermaid," Rain tells "GMA."
Price tells the news show he and his wife noticed the bus had changed routes at the beginning of the school year, driving past their house, so they went outside to wave. Rain, 15 at the time and not thrilled by this, begged his mom to keep his dad from doing it again.
"I overheard it," Price tells "GMA." "So, once I overheard it, I thought, you know what? It's on. Here we go."
Price says he used stuff around the house to construct his costumes, borrowed items from friends and neighbors and spent less than $50 total on his creations.
"This was poor idea just gone crazy," he tells "GMA."
And, while Rain was at many times horrified by his dad, he tells the news show by the last few months of school, the embarrassment eased.
"In the end it was just fun and laughing on the bus the whole way," he says.

Michelle said...I love this! This stay-home dad is a GREAT dad, in my opinion. His son will look back on this and smile. More parents these days need to have the enthusiasm this dad did to stay involved (in any way possible!) with their kids. Most tweens and teens don't want to be seen with their parents, so I can imagine this teen was humiliated to say the least. But this dad stuck to his guns and his son got over it, even got to liking this stunt at the end. It's important our kids know that will be there for them no matter what. Many times when a teen starts to disassociate with his or parents, it can be a warning sign that something else is going on. This dad should be applauded as an example to all teens and their parents to keep the communication going - and what better way than with humor?

kathydebus said...I used the embarrassment at school, when my daughter kept getting in trouble...so I warned her if she got in trouble one more time I would do something to embarrass her as she had been embarrassing me...so I dressed up like a hic, and went to school, when I saw her I yelled across the school her name..and ran up to her than kept saying how excited i was to be hanging out with her ...and holding her hand, and jumping around and very loud to make sure everyone heard...it was a long time before she got into trouble again :)
