All parents always try to do the best for their children. Ben Sowards, a father from Utah, was called by his 6-year-old daughter to pick her up from school because she had an incident in the bathroom.
He knew he had to go get it right away.
He also thought that his daughter Valerie should feel very ashamed because she had peed in her pants. And an idea came to him…
Before he got into the car and went to pick up his daughter, he took a bottle of water and poured it on his pants. Ben later explained that this was the key to him making his daughter laugh.
“Honestly, I knew she was mortified, but I thought if I could make her laugh everything would be fine.”
This would surely do the trick!
When Ben went to the director’s office, he asked to take the backpack of the kid. He whispered in her ear that he needed to hide something.
Then she looked down and saw his pants.
Ben told that the moment Valerie saw his pants, everything was okay. She felt comfortable standing up and walking out of the school with confidence.
“She was totally exasperated. But, once she saw my pants, I got that look from her where I knew everything was OK. All dads know what look I’m talking about. And we just strolled out of the school like nothing was happening.”
All Ben had to do as a father was driving down to the school and pick up his daughter. Wetting his pants with water was the extra step he took to make sure he wasn’t embarrassed by something most children experience.
We need more fathers like Ben in the world!
