Here's why you don't buy your dad a Bluetooth microphone

Don't worry, she secretly likes it.

There are certain universal qualities found in dads everywhere. One of them, it seems, is going out of their way to embarrass their significant others.

Marie (@MarieAnnMcfly) shared a sweet moment on Monday of her father serenading her mother with a Bluetooth microphone he received as a gift. As the dad croons "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers, the mom remains stoic—even correcting his pacing at one point.

In true dad fashion, however, he continues to sing, unfazed.

The internet was quick to gush over this display of cuteness — and point out Mom's unbothered attitude.

Some pointed out that, dang, Dad's got a great voice.

And others just wanted to know what type of sweet microphone this was.

If you were concerned that this romantic gesture was cruelly rejected, fret not. Marie was quick to set the record straight and let us know the real reason her mom wasn't gushing.

Keep on singing, dads everywhere, and let the world know just how much you love your partners.
