"You are not a single lady." We can't really blame this father for stating the obvious. How could he have known his lighthearted observation would lead to an epic tantrum?



First, we have ecstasy. The three kids in the backseat wave their arms and Losiah, the boy on the right, spazzes out in close-fisted mosh pit abandon. Then, tragedy.

"Losiah, you are not a single lady, buddy," laughs Dad. Within seconds, he realizes his mistake. You can see Losiah's soul sink as a blank look spreads across his face. His arms stop moving.

"No you are! Yeah you are!" Dad backpedals, surely aware of what's about to come.

Then, the waterworks.

Notice the middle daughter's burning condescension. The crossed arms, the "look what you did now" glare.

Dad tries to make up for it by encouraging the kids in a sing-a-long to stem the crying, which all kids know never works. Soon he gives up and admits the obvious, "I am a horrible father."
