Oh Dad -- Check this out!

"Wave at the Bus!"

If you haven't checked out the blog of Dale Price and his family in Utah. For the past year, Dale has been playing a prank on his sixteen year old son, Rain Price, who rides the school bus to High School. Since the fall, Dale has waved to the bus in 180 costumes from super heroes to giant chickens. Remarkably, he hasn't run out of ideas and has only spent $50 on the prank (using some creativity, the family collection of halloween costumes and the generous help of friends and neighbours).


You can see "Batgirl" and all of Dale's
costumes on their fabulous blog

The story was picked up on Utah's Daily Herald and is starting to get more attention on the internet. Rain might have been embarrassed at first, but now the daily spectacle of his stay at home dad of three is becoming a highlight for everyone on the bus and community. What will dad do next?

My personal favourite: Dad reading on the toilet. Casually looking up from his newspaper and waving -- you've gotta love the commitment!
