When it comes to taking a selfie, the general rule of thumb is – parents need not apply. Most of the time, they don’t even grasp what a selfie is, let alone understand the unspoken protocols of posing for one. This girl was hoping for a parent-free shot, but it seems her dad had other ideas.

Eager to join the trend, Dad couldn’t resist an impromptu cameo in his daughter’s selfie. The result? Let’s just say it’s a snapshot of peak dad-awkwardness.

While his daughter exudes an effortless cool vibe, her dad looks as though he’s been startled awake and unwittingly walked into the frame. His disheveled appearance and puzzled expression provide a stark, hilarious contrast to his daughter’s poise.

This unique family photo leaves us wondering if it’s destined for the family scrapbook or bound to be hidden away, never to be seen again. Regardless, it serves as a lighthearted reminder that our parents’ attempts to fit into our world can lead to some pretty memorable moments—even if they’re awkwardly hilarious ones!
