Most
of the time, fathers are their kids’ biggest fans and they know exactly what to
do to be the best parent they can be. They’re always there to make their kids
laugh, comfort them when they are sick, or save the day if they need a boost of
confidence.
But
sometimes, though they would never admit it, dads can be a little clueless with
their children, especially when it comes to dressing them.
One
mother from Indiana learned this the hilariously hard way when she tasked her
husband to dress and drop off their baby daughter at day care.
Though
Dad may have dropped her off with no problems to report, Mom noticed something
rather peculiar about her outfit when she picked her up that day.
She
took to the internet to share her husband’s adorable failure to dress his
daughter properly, and the moms of the internet united to commiserate.

Brooke
Hawley-Basso, Indiana mother of two, needed to head to a job interview one
morning and was unable to get her 7-month-old daughter, Olivia, ready for day
care.

So,
she asked her husband Jeremy to take care of the baby, dress her, and drop her
off — a simple enough task, she thought.

Jeremy
succeeded in getting her to day care on time with nary problem to report.
But
when Brooke came to pick her up, she noticed something rather odd about
Olivia’s outfit.

When
she questioned Jeremy about Olivia’s shirtless ensemble, he turned out to be
pretty clueless about his apparent faux pas.
“Did
you send Olivia to daycare without a shirt on?” she questioned.
“I
sent her with that thing on,” he responded.
“Supposed
to wear a shirt under overalls,” Brooke explained.
“Uhm,
i gotta plead ignorance here…” is all poor Jeremy could answer.

Brooke
thought that the whole situation was completely comical and definitely worth
sharing with other moms online.
She
posted the funny photo, along with the couple’s conversation on Ellen
DeGeneres’s Facebook page.

Not
only did the post go completely viral, but other moms and day care workers
chimed in to share their own stories of dads dressing their kids in ridiculous
outfits:
“I
worked in daycare for five years and one day I had a dad drop a little girl off
in what I presumed was a dress but on the very short side. She has a younger
sister so I thought maybe he accidentally put her in one of her sisters
dresses. Her mom came to get her that evening and was mortified that her
husband had sent their daughter in just her shirt. She insisted she had laid
tights out with the shirt. Apparently while Dad was getting the youngest dressed
the little girl put the tights up because she didn’t like that pair and her dad
never noticed.”
“I
went out for a girls night when our daughter was a baby and my husband put
‘Build a Bear’ clothes on the baby. I could see the hole where the tail of the
stuffed animal was supposed to go.”
“All
the men on Facebook like to post and pretend they knew what was wrong with the
picture before reading the texts…”

Though
Jeremy could have used a few lessons on how to dress baby Olivia, the sweet
story shows that dads always try to do what’s best for their kids, even if they
don’t always succeed!
