Photo of Mum Dressing as a Dad For Her Son Goes Viral

A photo of this single mother has gone viral for amazing reasons.

Mum, Yevette Vasquez, of Fort Worth, Texas in the US, had an incredible makeover so her son would not feel left out during his school’s ‘Doughnuts with Dads’ day’ — she dressed up as a dad!

Ms Vasquez, 31, who has been raising her three sons alone since divorcing their father (who was sent to prison a few years ago) told ABC News in the US that she noticed a lot of cars in the school parking lot when she dropped off her 12-year-old son, Elijah. She asked him what was going on and Elijah tells her, it’s ‘Doughnuts with Dads’ Day.”

“I told him, ‘How come you didn’t tell me?’ and joked I could’ve dressed up as a man for him.”

When Elijah didn’t laugh at the suggestion, a plan was hatched.

She said, “He was like, ‘Well, Mum, we got 10 minutes before the bell rings!'”. She added that Elijah was excited at the thought and so she decided to push through with it.

So, Ms Vasquez drove home, put on a plaid shirt, a cap and a fake moustache and arrived back at the school in time for doughnuts.

“When we walked into the library, there were a whole bunch of men, and a lot of them were cheering. Elijah was just smiling really big. It was a lot of fun, and of course, we got doughnuts!” she said.

Her Facebook post has gained over 18,000 reactions and more than 6,100 shares.
