You want to give your child everything and more when you’re a parent. No task is too big, no cause is too insignificant, and no mountain is too big.
Why? Because you never want your children to experience loneliness, fear, or sadness.
A 6-year-old daughter called Ben Sowards, a father from Utah, USA, and he knew he had to head straight to her school.
Valeria had, as it turned out, been in a small accident. Although there was no risk, Ben understood the embarrassment his young daughter would feel after getting her pants wet.
Before Ben left to pick up his daughter, he had an idea. He chose to make his daughter laugh instead, reasoning that there had to be something he could do to ease his daughter’s discomfort a little.
According to the Huffington Post, Ben eventually spilled water over his own jeans before hopping in the car and heading to school.
He needed to “hide” something, so when he got there, he asked Valerie if he could use her school bag.
When Valerie noticed the large wet smear on her father’s crotch, she finally realized what her father was up to.
As though nothing had occurred
Things became better as soon as Valeria realized her dad was in the “same” predicament.
To be honest, I knew she was embarrassed, but I reasoned that everything would be alright if I could make her laugh, Sowards said.
She was quite irritated. However, as soon as she spotted my jeans, she gave me that look that told me everything was fine. Every dad is familiar with this particular look. We simply sauntered out of the school as if nothing had happened.
Ben only needed to take his daughter to school by car. But he went above and beyond because he didn’t want her to feel ashamed. What a wonderful father!
While there are many amazing fathers in the world, few have the creative imagination that Ben does.
