| Sweet dad cheers up embarrassed daughter with an 'accident' of his own Posted: 17 Apr 2017 09:53 AM PDT  Dads can be so embarrassing sometimes, but they can also make you feel better about your own embarrassments. When kindergartener Valerie had an 'accident' last week, she was embarrassed and asked to go home early. But when her dad showed up to take her home, he made her feel better by revealing a secret of his own. My little sis had an accident today at kindergarten & this is how my dad left to pick her up so she wouldn't feel so sad/embarrassed ❤️ pic.twitter.com/veHMFO4QHr — Lucinda Sowards (@LucindaSowards) April 14, 2017 Before leaving the house, he splashed water on himself to make it look like he'd had accident, as well, so she wouldn't feel so self conscious about it. Valerie's older sister Lucinda told Mashable that, "when he arrived to pick her up, he told her 'honey I need to use your back pack to cover up my accident if we are gonna get out of here.'" SEE ALSO: Best father ever creates unbelievable cardboard armor for his son Valerie, laughing, handed over her backpack and they "snuck out" of the school. Lucinda said that Valerie felt like she got away with it, and the stunt helped her, "learn to laugh about it." Luckily, Valerie's accident happened at the beginning of recess, so none of the other kids noticed. With her dad making light of the situation too, there was nothing left to be embarrassed about. Valerie's family also fosters children regularly, Lucinda considers herself a "foster advocate." In fact, the family adopted four foster children on Monday. Based off this story, it seems safe to say they're an ideal family to be taking in these kids, and the internet seems to agree: people on Twitter adored this story, calling him "dad of the year." It's gained more than 200k likes since being posted last week. @LucindaSowards @woahkennedy That's called being a great father. I did the same thing, before. — The MFC Truth (@mfc_truth) April 15, 2017 Others pointed out the similarity to a classic scene from Billy Madison. @LucindaSowards pic.twitter.com/kqHb8PdI32 — Trevor Latta (@LattaTrevor) April 15, 2017 Some people seemed to think it was even more embarrassing. @LucindaSowards @mzneath That's just double the embarrassment! — TheGM ⚡️Westbrook!⚡️ (@Jamigreen23) April 15, 2017 Based off what Lucinda had to say, as long as he's dad of the year in their house, it was a success.
