A mom from Oklahoma was taken aback when she saw her two-year-old daughter’s school picture day photos. The child did everything right, smiling for the camera. However, the photographer failed to notice a glaring mistake right in front of their eyes. Due to the positioning of the little girl, the photo made it seem like her shirt had the word “a**hole” printed across the front.
Paige Ward, the 29-year-old mother, who had just finished a grueling 60-hour shift at an urgent care clinic, was utterly exhausted. She had forgotten about her daughter’s picture day and hastily threw on the first shirt she could find, one that said “sasshole” across the front.
Reflecting on the incident, Ward said, “I woke up that morning exhausted and grabbed the first thing out of her closet I could see, which happened to be the famous ‘sasshole’ shirt.”
Although the child had worn the shirt to school before, Ward didn’t anticipate any problems. Regrettably, she had completely forgotten that it was picture day. If she had remembered, she would have chosen a more appropriate shirt for a lasting memory.
Two days later, when the pictures arrived, every photo showed a smiling little girl with a shirt that appeared to say “a**hole” across the front. The photographer had not paid attention to the shirt’s details, and the child’s arm covered the “s” in “sasshole,” completely changing the message.
“Oh my god. Everyone is going to think I’m a horrible mother. How could I do this?” Ward lamented.
Ironically, Ward also found the incident hilarious. Being overworked and underpaid, she didn’t have much time to worry about the mistake.
“The entire time, I was dying laughing because it just fits Emma’s personality and 2020 so well,” she shared.
Ward was so tickled by the incident that she posted it on TikTok to share with her followers. TikTok, the Chinese-created social media app, is known for its ability to bring people joy and laughter.
“If you ever thought you were a bad mom, at least you didn’t forget picture day and send your toddler to school in this.”
Within days, the video went viral, garnering over 15 million views. Most people found the story to be hilarious. However, Ward also encountered some negative comments. Some individuals criticized her for dressing her daughter in a controversial shirt, claiming that the mistake occurred because of the “sasshole” declaration.
While some questioned Ward’s choice of attire, millions of others found the incident to be a harmless, funny moment that mom can cherish forever. What do you think?
