Brad Howard, from Texas, had received too many complaints from his son’s high school physics teacher.
So, the pastor warned his son Bradley to mend his ways, saying he would show up to school to embarrass the 17-year-old in front of everyone in case of disobedience.
“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,” Brad told BuzzFeed.
Bradley didn’t take his dad serious and thought his warning was just a bluff – but that was not the case!
When Brad got another email about his son’s behavior, he decided to teach a lesson to the teen to beat some manners into him.
“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?’” Brad said.
Though Brad didn’t want to spend an entire day at school, he did so to keep his word. When the man entered the class to sit beside Bradley, the teen’s friends thought it was some sort of joke.
But it wasn’t. At least, for poor Bradley.
Later on, Bradley’s sister Molli posted the pictures of her father sitting next to her embarrassed brother on Twitter to share the hilarious ordeal with her friends.
“Just making good a promise,” Brad tweeted back. And it didn’t take long for the photos to go viral.

They got the attention of several media outlets across the country, with talk show host Montel Williams responding, “This is awesome!!! One dad to another well done.”
Though the teen was told by numerous people how loving and awesome his father was, the Howards just cared about teaching some manners to him.
Bradley’s mother Denise Howard said: “We’ve had a great time with this but more than anything we hope we don’t get any more calls about Bradley interrupting in physics class!”
