Single Mom Rocks ‘Dads and Donuts Day’ in Epic Style
When it comes to school events like “Muffins with Mommies” and “Donuts with Daddies,” single-parent families can sometimes feel left out. But one inventive mom, Jessie Thompson from Utah, refused to let her son miss out on “Dads and Donuts Day.” Instead of sending a male relative in her place, Jessie transformed herself into a “dad” by donning a classic dad outfit and some faux facial hair, proving that she’s every bit the superhero her son needs.
She shared a photo of her hilarious dad impersonation on social media, and it quickly went viral, racking up over 10,000 shares. “When I became a single mom a few years back, I promised myself I would do everything possible to provide my kids with a ‘normal’ life, even if it meant stepping out of my comfort zone,” Jessie wrote.
Her son, now in kindergarten, has filled their lives with adventures—trips, games of catch, and bug-hunting escapades. However, when he brought home the notice for “Dads and Donuts Day,” Jessie’s heart dropped. Any single parent knows that sinking feeling when faced with events that highlight family structures. She asked her son if he wanted his granddad to attend, but he simply smiled and said, “No. I want you to go. You’re my mom and dad.”
So, Jessie put on her game face, gathered her best dad attire, complete with expertly painted facial hair, and headed to the breakfast event like the ultimate single-mom warrior. Her son proudly introduced her to his friends: “This is my mom… she’s my dad too so I brought her!” Talk about a win for both mom and son!
Jessie reflected on her efforts, saying, “I’ve always tried to show them they are loved, but I often wonder if I’m really succeeding.” Well, she got her answer when her son ran after her at the end of the event, wrapping his arms around her neck and whispering, “Mom… I know that you’ll always be there and do anything for me. Thank you. I love you.” Moments like these are what make parenting worthwhile.
