First of all, I think we just found the cast for Southwest Airlines’ next “Wanna Get Away” ad campaign.
But, in all seriousness, never in my wildest imagination could I envision my dad ever doing something like this. The closest he came was when I was 15 years old, and my buddies and I wanted to see the first American Pie movie in theaters. My dad bought our tickets and one for himself so he could walk us in. Then, he promptly walked out the exit as soon as we sat down.
That rates about a .5 on a scale of 1 to One Direction (that’s a 10), whose concert these “Father of the Year” candidates found themselves at recently. Poor guys, they could probably use a drink — or five.
