Embarrassed Son Asks Dad Not To Wave At Him In Front Of School Bus, Regrets Doing It For Next 163 School Days
Parents, they are here to clothe us, feed us and without fail, embarrass us. Sixteen is a particularly ripe age for parental embarrassment and poor Rain Price of American Fork, Utah was no exception. It was the beginning of his sophomore school year and his first time riding the bus so in true embarrassing parent-style his dad Dale waved him off. Mortified, he begged his mom Rochelle to stop Dale from doing it again - guess who overheard?
To Rain's dismay and Dale's delight, not only did the father decide to wave his son goodbye, he decided to send him off dressed in costume. But wait, this was not just a one-time incident, Dale dressed up every single day for 170 straight school days.
"When he did it the first day I was in shock. You don’t want to see your dad dressing up in a wedding dress, waving at you on the bus," Rain told the Metro, to which his dad responded: "I hope this lives with him for the rest of his life."
Dale became known as the 'Wave At The Bus Dad,' coming out in the most hilarious and elaborate costumes and never repeating the same look. He said he only spend around $50 the whole year and relied on friends and neighbors to loan him costume essentials. So the family could share the ridiculousness with the rest of the world, Rochelle created a blog to document all the outfits.
Rain is now all grown up at 19 and serves as a church missionary in Liberia, West Africa.
From the Little Mermaid to a blushing bride, scroll down below to some of Dale's iconic fashion moments!

He puts so much effort into these costumes............If I were a child on the bus I'd be waiting in anticipation for each to come so I could see what he was wearing next........If this were my Dad, I'd be so very, very proud.......he'll realize this as the years pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this but I'm a little surprised no one got all pissy that he was holding what was most likely a fake gun and called the cops or something. I'm sorry I just have very little faith in the human race lately and this actually helps a little knowing some things can still be laughed at

Genious! Love it! The kid is gonna love those menories when he gets older :)
Guess whose son is either never going to marry out of spite, or move way across country and always have "other plans" for the holidays, or both.
Maybe you should stop giving visibility to this “parent who grew up before social media shames kids” trend. I believe it is important to teach your kids not to take oneself too seriously and to live your life with irony. Yet, these acts might just have done that back in the days when your audience was basically the kids on the bus and your neighbours. It’s all good fun for us, but these parents are clearly underestimating (or actively looking for) the media exposure that can follow and that they and their kids have no way to control.
And now the kid will be bullied until he finally exists high school and can get far away from it all. I got picked on for less than this.
So the kid asked for his dad to stop embarrassing him because he's SIXTEEN years of age and the father decided to embarrass him more. I'm sorry but if you can't respect your 16 year old kids then you're not an "amazing cool dad".
This is actually a mean thing to do. This could have ruined that kid's social life.
Although the costumes are funny, the entire situation makes me cringe. At 16, a kid has a right to some privacy and independence. Only thing is - he should have talked to his dad himself. The fact that he did not tells me that they might not have a good relationship and that dad did this out of spite. I'd like to hear more of the story - how the kid handled it, did he have problems in school, how did his relationship with the dad and family evolve? I work that this is a family ruined, not held together by some funny antics.
If he sons bever speaks to him again, he is totally justified. This guy is as ridiculous as eff.
This is one funny, dedicated dad. I love his humor and compassion. I also love his positive attitude towards his disability (if you want to call it that). Great man, great pictures and definitely one lucky kid.
Just to clarify - I should have added "lol" to my earlier comment as it was said with humour - an amazing dad
Serious dedication by this dad. How the he'll did he come up with soooo many? Ha ha ha
Brilliant! Seems Luke such a fun dad. Hope this kid has grown to appreciate him before it's too late. He has an amazing dad...not all of them are.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I wish we had had such a cool and funny dad, our "father" was choleric & beat us etc., I wouldn´t have felt embarassed at all if I had had a dad who´d have done THIS for me!!!
We should have more stories like this. This boy has a great dad who enjoys humor and raised his boy with grace and laughter. Happy trails friend.
This is a great and fun story and the kid has a great dad and he raised him with grace and humor . We should have ore stories like this
This is the luckiest kid in the world to have such a wonderful, funny and attentive Dad. I agree that someday he will cherish these memories and realize how blessed he was in his father.
I have a question. I see lots of US videos of kids hoping on and off school buses right outside their homes. Do the drivers drop every kid at their own home, or is it just those with a stop right outside who make the videos?
Uhm ... so the guy's name is "Rain"? Rain Price? And he lives in ... Fork? Dafuq??
The best part is that he is cool with playing with his prosthetic-very, very cool Dad!
Love it! If it really embarrassed the kid that much all he had to do was to walk on down to the next bus stop. Let's see, actually walk or be embarrassed? Guess it wasn't that embarrassing.
I really feel bad for the dad because (if you look closely) he only has one leg. The kid should be happy that he has a dad that is supportive.
Hope the kid is dressing up while he poisons the minds of Liberians with religion. At least introduce some fun into proceedings.
