Dad wears bum-shorts to teach his daughter a lesson

How did one American dad teach his daughter a lesson about dressing more modestly?

Here’s the long and short of it. Infact, very short of it.

Fed up with his daughter constantly wearing Daisy duke-style micro-shorts, Scott Mackintosh took a pair of scissors to his jeans and cut them crotch-high, so that a pocket peeked from beneath. He then donned a ‘Best Dad Ever’ T-shirt and wore the outfit during a family night out on the town.

“I was absolutely going for shock value and a little bit of embarrassment”, he told NBC’s Mike Taibbi

Mackintosh said he didn’t intend to wear his micro-shorts outside the home, but his daughter failed to notice his outfit because she was glued to the phone. So he upped the ante and wore the shorts out to dinner and a game of miniature golf.

“I decided to make a small statement on how her short-shorts aren’t as cute as she thinks”! He wrote on his wife’s family blog.

Mackintosh’s mortified daughter finally reached her limits when they went out for milk shakes.

I just got out of the car, walked in and she says, I’m staying in the car, said Mackintosh, who also has three other daughters and three sons.

But the night didn’t embarrass Mackintosh’s daughter enough to prevent her along with his wife and one of his sons from posting pictures they took of him on social media. The images went viral, and soon the family heard from people across the nation as well as across the world.
