Dailey Bailey: A Dad Didn’t Approve of His Daughter’s Cut-Off Jean Shorts, So He Wore a Pair of His Own to Embarrass Her

Being a good parent sometimes means sacrificing your own dignity, and doing something over-the-top just to prove a point. Like this.

A guy near Provo, Utah named Scott Mackintosh was going out to dinner with his family. And he wasn’t thrilled about how short his teenage daughter’s jean shorts were. But she refused to change . . . so he decided to.

Scott went up to his bedroom, took some scissors to an old pair of jeans, and cut them way shorter than any middle-aged man can get away with. Then he grabbed a “Best Dad Ever” t-shirt he’d gotten for Father’s Day and threw that on too.

short shorts dadFirst, they hit up a restaurant, and the daughter pretended his outfit didn’t bother her. So after dinner, Scott decided to keep the night going and take his family miniature golfing. But she still acted like she wasn’t embarrassed.

So after golf, he took them out for milkshakes. And finally his daughter got angry and refused to go inside with him.

But the true embarrassment for her was still to come. Because the photos were posted online, and got thousands of comments.

Scott talked to the local news last week, and said his daughter is covering up a little more than she had been. And to teach her about self-respect, he says he’d dress up like an idiot every day of his life.

Dailey Bailey: A Couple’s Prom Photos Get Photobombed by a Tornado

Now here’s a way to make your generic prom photos stand out from everyone else’s.

Ali Marintzer and Charlie Bator of Wray, Colorado were taking their prom photos this weekend, when they got photobombed . . . by a tornado. And it was only about three miles away, so it looks huge in the background of their pictures.

The tornado wound up injuring five people and destroying a few mobile homes, but it didn’t interfere with the prom. And that’s what’s really important here, right?

Dailey Bailey: Blake Shelton Couldn’t Be Happier About His Duet With Gwen Stefani

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani released the duet they wrote and recorded together.

It’s called “Go Ahead and Break My Heart”, and they performed it on “The Voice” last night

Blake told “People” magazine that it’s about the “serious insecurities” they had when they first started getting naked together. I mean dating. They also had “trust issues” they needed to work through, so they wrote the song about all that.

But what he’s really proud of is that they came up with it alone. Quote, “There’s not a third ghost writer, there’s not five writers on it. It’s just she and I sat down and wrote this song . . . and I couldn’t be happier about it.”

Dailey Bailey: The Most Popular Baby Names Last Year Were Noah and Emma . . . the Least Popular Was Isis

The Social Security Administration just released the most popular baby names from last year. And there aren’t really any big surprises.

Noah was the most popular name for boys for the third year in a row . . . and Emma was the most popular name for girls for the second year in a row.

The top 10 names for boys were: Noah . . . Liam . . . Mason . . . Jacob . . . William . . . Ethan . . . James . . . Alexander . . . Michael . . . and Benjamin.

And the top 10 names for girls were: Emma . . . Olivia . . . Sophia . . . Ava . . . Isabella . . . Mia . . . Abigail . . . Emily . . . Charlotte . . . and Harper.

But on the other end of the scale, there was one name that was a huge loser last year . . . Isis.

It dropped from the 705th most popular name in 2014 to the 1,770th most popular name last year. No other name came close to falling that much! That’s just what happens when a perfectly fine name gets stolen by psychotic terrorists.
