Are you ready to load your youngins up and send them back to school? Today is the big day for much of the nation. Fortunatley for us, we have two more weeks. Yes, that's right. Two. It's awesome. And I'm not a bit ashamed to rub it in. We're going to the lake today, and your kids will be writing essays about going to the lake.
I'm sure you've heard of this guy by now, but anytime I see a school bus, I think of him. His name is Dale and last year, he dressed up in a different costume every morning to send his son off on the school bus. His teenage son. Apparently, Dale and his wife rushed out to wave at the bus on the very first day of school and later that day, his son told the mom to make sure dad never does that again. And dad said, game on! Dale donned a different costume every day of the school year all in attempts to embarrass his son. Here are some of my favorites:
I would like to note that the wedding dress was also backless. Hubba hubba. I would also like to note that yes, that really is a potty on their sidewalk.
Obviously Dale has a great sense of humor, but if I was his teenage son, I don't know that I'd appreciate it all that much.
Which brings up this week's topic: what have your parents done to embarrass you?
Mine's pretty simple: my dad used to speak in Pig-Latin at the drive thru at KFC. Yes, I tried to hide on the floor of the car, I was that embarrassed. Doesn't seem like such a big deal now, but at the time, I was mortified. I don't think it helped that he was driving a loud, hillbilly pick-up that also drew all sorts of (negative) attention.
So will you share your pain with us? And I would also like to note that I think Dale should be Father of the Year. Such diligence! Such determination! Such ... humility!
