Adorable dad stranded by Harvey tags along to daughter's grad school classes

'Get out before we start please! Go! Mommy come get him'

The aftermath of Harvey continues to impact Texas and because of the flooding and rainfall, some folks are having a hard time returning to their homes in Houston.

One dad who found himself in this situation decided to make the most of it. In a hilarious tweet that went viral, his son shared that his father ended up taking refuge at his sister's university and was showing up to classes alongside her.

"My pops can't fly back to Houston cause of the hurricane so he going to grad school with my sister [and] she pissed," Omete's tweet read.

Omete shared screenshots of their conversation, a selfie their father shared from inside the classroom, and a video chat screenshot.

"Get out before we start please! Go! Mommy come get him," Omete's sister texted in the shared screenshot. "Seriously he needs to leave now he's stayed for the intro and has a syllabus. And won't leave me. He's distracting me."

Mashable has reached out to @ometeanassi and will update this post accordingly.

Turns out, he wasn't the only parent that was stuck on a campus. Another Twitter user shared that their mother was stuck in a dorm due to the hurricane limiting travel options.

At least they'll get a little extra help with their homework.
