High-school can be
. You've got puberty to deal with, and you need to maintain an image of "coolness" in front of all your friends. On top of all that? Just
try
and concentrate during maths class when your crush is sitting right in front of you and smelling offensively good.
And for 17-year-old Brad Howard from Texas, he got in trouble many times for being disruptive in class, but now he's probably learnt his lesson for good.
Apparently, the teenager was being so much of a chatterbox in his physics
class that the
teacher kept sending
emails to Brad's
about his
talkative behaviour.
Brad's dad, also called Brad, responded in the
most savage
way to embarrass his
and teach him a lesson.
He told BuzzFeed that Brad "likes to be the life of the party, which gets him in trouble from time to time."
"For some reason, I said, 'Hey, if we get another call I'm going to show up in school and sit beside you in class,'" Dad Brad said. And of course... he got another call from the teacher.
"Friday is my only day off, so my wife wakes me up and says, 'Brad, it’s time for you to go to school.' I thought, Oh no, what have I done?" he said.
Dad Brad took the liberty of taking a selfie while sitting next to his son in physics class, which he sent to his wife who then decided to
share it on the family's group chat.
Teenage Brad's sister Molli tweeted the screenshot of the selfie, and – whoops – it's now gone viral.

"My dad told my brother if he got another call from the physics teacher complaining he would go sit in his class..dad got another call," she wrote in the caption to accompany the hilarious image. Seriously, you can see the panic mingled with embarrassment from Brad junior as he pretends to fervently do his work. The dad? Perfectly cool and collected, gazing straight into the camera with an "I was being completely serious, son" expression on his face.
Twitter
loved
it, retweeting the image 2,000 times and giving it more than 4,400 likes. There was no shortage of hilarious commentary either.

The father said that he was actually "a bit nervous" to be surrounded by so many teenagers, but that fear went away after he realised that his son's friends thought the whole thing was pretty funny too. "I think they had a good time. Especially knowing that Bradley was put in an uncomfortable situation," he said.
"Bradley"...
I die.
And little Bradley himself was actually quite surprised to see his dad waltzing in and taking place in the physics class by sitting next to his desk.
"I didn't even notice him until after I had said hi to all of my friends, but I was super shocked," he said.
Well, hopefully, he learned his lesson, otherwise Brad senior will probably have to enrol in school again just so he can go to all the classes his son is in.
