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.
