A video of a Florida dad in short shorts trying to teach his daughter a lesson has gone viral.

Jason Hilley says that his 14-year-old daughter has worn shorts that he feels are too revealing.

Instead of yelling or screaming at her, he decided to use humor to try and get his point across.

Hilley put on a pair of short shorts and told his daughter that he would pick her up in school every day wearing the shorts if she continued wearing shorts that were too revealing.


The video went viral and has been viewed more than 30 million times.
