10 Dads Who Took Their Daughters' Prom Pictures To A Whole New Level

by Connor Toole

If you've dealt with the amount of rejection and heartbreak the average person experiences by the time he or she is considered "grown up," it's funny to think about how incredibly stressful prom season can be for high schoolers who are still learning to cope with the cold reality of life.

Right now, millions of teenagers around the country are perpetually stressed about whether or not they'll be able to overcome their awkwardness and somehow make it through an entire night without doing something that will still manage to give them anxiety when they randomly remember it a decade after it happens.

If my personal experience is any indication, they probably won't.

Prom night is filled with potentially terrifying moments, but random boners and unexpected slow dances have nothing on one of the most stressful things a guy will be forced to face over the course of the night: meeting his date's dad.

You never want to stab someone with a dirty knife.

He's probably riding shotgun in the limo.

I could make a "skeet shooting" joke here, but I'm just going to let you use that phrase for inspiration to make your own.

I'd normally make fun of this guy's cargo shorts, but I assume that's where he carries his extra magazine.

"Did she say he was a football player? I could take him."

This is a man who's spent his entire life preparing for this day.

The badge was a nice addition to make sure he gets the hint.

I was expecting that dad to be holding a gun, but I guess that's what I get assuming he was a redneck based on nothing but his appearance.

This might be overkill.

Based on those smiles, this dad might just be really, really protective of his son.
