DRONE212At one point in time growing up, having our parents drop us off at school, kiss us, hug us, and fuss over us can be a bit embarrassing especially in front of your friends, but it looks like this dad from Knoxville, Tennessee has taken home the award as the world’s most embarrassing dad through his antics of following his daughter to school via a drone.

Chris Early, the dad in question, was told one day by his 8-year old daughter Katie that she wanted to walk to school on her own. According to Early who spoke to WVLT, “She said you’re not going to come watch me, but I had another idea,” and boy what an idea that was. He decided that if he could not be there to watch her, he’d have a drone fly above her and ensure that she got to school safe.

Was Katie embarrassed by her dad’s antics? Surprisingly no. When asked how she felt about it, Katie replied by saying, “I was like oh wow! He didn’t tell me so I was pretty surprised.” That being said just because she’s fine with it does not mean that Early plans to keep hovering over his daughter on a daily basis.

“It was something kind of fun to do just to let her know I’m watching her and stuff like that, but, it’s not something I’m going to be doing everyday.” In fact Time Magazine even called him the “World’s Most Embarrassing Dad” but hey, we’re sure that most dads will be fine with that title as long as it means making sure their kids are alright!
