In a delightful twist on parental embarrassment, one dad has taken it to a whole new level. Meet Oklahoma’s own Brad Jenkins, who recently became an internet sensation for picking up his teenage son from school in a Speedo. After enduring years of his son’s antics, it was finally his turn to turn the tables.
When Brad received a text from his son asking to be picked up, he decided to make a splash—literally. The video capturing this hilarious moment has gone viral, showcasing Brad’s unforgettable entrance. Dressed as the Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, he sprinted through the parking lot wearing only a Speedo, a swim cap, and a collection of faux medals. To top it off, he was barefoot!
As he dashed toward his son, the sound of honking cars filled the air, with fellow parents and students looking on in disbelief. Shouting his son’s name with arms wide open, Brad’s enthusiasm was palpable—though his son’s expression was a mix of sheer embarrassment and reluctant acceptance. The teen’s face conveyed a silent plea for the ground to swallow him whole, yet there was a hint of amusement peeking through his mortification.
This wasn’t the first time Brad had pulled off an outrageous stunt—he seems to have a knack for lightheartedly embarrassing his kids. It’s hard to imagine how he could top this epic prank, but if the response to the video (over 22 million views) is any indication, he has set the bar high for parents everywhere.
As a parent who has already belted out Britney Spears in the car line and danced to “Thriller” at a Halloween party, I can appreciate the creativity it takes to pull off such a stunt. However, I’ll need to keep this Speedo moment in mind for future reference, especially when my kids are old enough to experience that sweet, sweet mortification. Kudos to Brad for providing us all with some serious parenting inspiration!
