    Default Mustache Day

    Right before he went to bed last night, my boy tells me and his Mom that he needs a "mustache shirt" for school the next day.
    My wife looks panicked. They both stare at me. Should I panic, too?
    Oh, that's right, I'm a fucking Engineer.
    I think: Glue gun? Check. Felt? Check.
    I look at both of them.
    "Daddy's got this."

    One mustache? Please. That's bush-league. How about 16 mustaches?


    Not big enough, you say? Got that covered, too.


    Even threw in some mustaches liberty-dragon style*:
    [size=xx-small]*Squid Reference[/size]


    Sure, it's -5° out, but there's a gold-plated app for that:


    Best part? Went in to volunteer for math this morning, and my son had peeled six of them off and given them to kids of lesser parents who couldn't provide mustache shirts, and/or were never told they were required. Mustache charity.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    Has to be a great kid. Not only proud that his dad came thru in a big way, but willing to share his mustache treasure with others. Nice!

    The most awesome part of the story isn't the Emergency Mustache Shirt or the child who shares his stache with others. It's the dad who takes such an active part in his kid's life. Nice work!

    Did you also ground him for forgetting to tell you until the last second, as kids will do?
