Son Studying Abroad Sends Mom Cutout Of Himself, Regrets His Decision Immediately
When Dalton Ross went to study aboard at Belmont University in London, he knew his family would miss him, so he decided to do something unique. He sent his mum, Susan Talley, a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself!
“I just thought sending a life-size cutout of me unannounced to my mom would give my family a laugh,” Ross told Aplus. “I thought maybe they’d put it in the living room corner until I got back to remember I exist.”
But his mom had other plans. She decided to take the cutout along to family gatherings, such as sporting events and even Easter! Then she sent pictures that Ross, going by the name ienjoybread, posted on Imgur.

That's very funny and it's also rather sweet. Very clever, Dalton's mom.
Some friends of a colleague of mine did exactly the same thing for their university reunion. He couldn't make it, so they created this full size cardboard version of him in a suit while cheering with a glass of red wine. Then they took it with them for the whole evening and included it in every group picture and selfie they did as if he was really there. And they posted everything on Facebook of course. :)
Glad to see im not the only one who notice that, thats a hilarious vine

You must know Dalton that you inherited your humor from mom. Never try to out do her.
Loved it! Is O'Charley's a chain, or is that in Missouri near St. Louis?
