Single Mom Dresses Up As Man For 'Dads And Donuts' Day At Son's School
SANTA CLARA, Utah (KDKA) -- A single mom in Utah says her heart sank when her son came home with a note explaining his elementary school class was having a "dads and donuts" day.
Whitney Kittrell asked her son if he would like his grandpa to go with him.
After a pause, the boy smiled and said, "No. I want you to go. You're my mom and dad."
So bright and early Wednesday morning, Kittrell put on her best "dad outfit," painting on a fake goatee and mustache, before proudly heading off to the "dads and donuts" breakfast.
In a photo she posted on Facebook, which has gone viral with nearly 8,000 shares, she explains how her nervousness was quickly dashed by her son's excitement.
"I was so embarrassed but I couldn't help but smile when he introduced me to his little friends saying, "this is my mom ... she's my dad too so I brought her!"
The little boy's smile says it all, but when Kittrell went to leave, her son hugged hr ans whispered "mom... I know that you'll always be there and do anything for me. Thank you. I love you."
