In a world where some men approach feminine hygiene products as if they’re handling live explosives, one father has shown that humor and effort can make all the difference. Meet Oliver, a dad from the UK, who took on the challenge of navigating the confusing aisles of a supermarket to buy sanitary pads for his daughter, Mia.
It All Started with a Text Message
“I’m at Tesco, where are they?”
“They’re near the deodorants and shampoos.”
“Got them. Which ones do you want?”
“Always.”
“Always what??”
“No, they’re called Always.”
“Oh, seen. What in the world!! £3.50??? There are hundreds of them.”
Oliver’s confusion is relatable. He clearly demonstrates that even dads can struggle with the overwhelming number of options available.
“This lady’s looking at me weird, hurry up.”
“I need the nighttime ones. Should be purple packaging. Scented and with wings please.”
“What the heck are wings? How will I know if they’re scented? Will I have to smell them?”
His daughter’s witty responses add to the hilarity.
“It’ll say on the packet, chill out.”
“Cause smelling them would have been weird, wouldn’t it? Do you need any creams?”
“Will I have to smell them?”
“Of course, it’s a scratch and sniff box, duh.”
Peak Comedy
The exchange reached peak comedy when Oliver, trying to be attentive, mentioned creams for after.
“Why would I need creams?”
“Because I thought you ladies needed creams for after.”
“OMG. Just pick them up and come home.”
“Ok. Satan needs a feeding. I’ll bring you chocolate.”
Not only did this dad brave the feminine hygiene aisle, but he also remembered to grab some chocolate for Mia. This is what #dadgoals look like, folks.
