Every School Day, Dad Met Son's Bus In Costume

Every morning, as the school bus pulled up, Rain Price's father donned a different costume to wave him off to school. His costumes included Elvis, Chiquita Banana and the Little Mermaid. Rain admits his schoolmates warmed to the idea sooner than he did. But eventually, he too discovered the charm in his dad's morning send-offs.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.

Summer vacation offers relief from homework and tests. For 16-year-old Rain Price of American Fork, Utah, it's a break from embarrassment. Every morning, as the school bus pulled up, Rain's father donned a different costume to wave him off to school. Elvis, Chiquita Banana, the Old Spice guy, the Little Mermaid. Rain admits his schoolmates warmed to the idea sooner than he did. But eventually, he too discovered the charm in his dad's morning send-offs.
