Dad, stop.

Some parents are embarrassing. Then there's Justin Beadles.

Justin's 15-year-old son, Jack, had his last day of junior high recently, so to make it very memorable, Justin decided to pull a super embarrassing prank on his kid.

Dressed in a Speedo, a swimming cap, and medals hanging around his neck, Justin ran barefoot towards his son who was hanging outside of his school, screaming Jack's name. Yep, his dad decided to dress up as swimmer Michael Phelps while his mother filmed it.

“I was just like half embarrassed, half thinking I was going to run away,” Jack told local news outlet KWTV.

Apparently Jack's dad has a habit of embarrassing his son.

“My dad, he was the guy who always said, ‘Make a memory every day.’ And since he has been gone, I’ve particularly tried to do that,” Justin said.

Thankfully, Jack took it in stride, and was pretty cool about it because it was the last day of school.

“I just thought it’s the last day of school and no one can make fun of me because it’s the last day of school,” Jack said.

The internet never forgets, Jack.
