A word of advice to parents:

NEVER challenge your kid unless you want to be severely outdone.


Craig Arsenault and his wife, Kari, of Scarborough, Maine, decided to challenge their son, Jake, to wear a hotdog costume for school pictures.

And Jake rose to the challenge magnificently.

See the results below:

Look closer; there's even some relish on the sides.

Reportedly Craig offered Jake $10 to take the pic as a hot dog, and wrote the boy a permission note that ended with "please let this happen!".

"Jake was hesitant a first, but I was like, 'No, it's gonna be awesome; just trust me'."

Craig told TODAY Parents:

"Everyone was like, 'There's hot dog boy.' Jake's outgoing and likes being in the spotlight, so it worked out."






And other people are loving Jake's free-spirited choice too.

Some with hot dog puns and hot dog stories.





Oscar Meyer themselves even were impressed.





With Halloween coming up, we're surprised more people aren't showing up to official events in costumes.

But for this one round, Jake Arsenault wins the internet unopposed.

Four for you, Jake.

You go, Jake.

If you want to be frank, this costume is available here.

Amazon

The stereotype of the weeping mother unable to cope with her children beginning preschool, or kindergarten, or graduating from high school, or going off to college was shattered by former First Lady Michelle Obama during a recent appearance by Jon Stewart on her IMO (In My Opinion) with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson podcast.

While pop culture has reinforced the trope of empty nester moms unable to cope when their children gain independence, the former FLOTUS told Stewart she feels free now that her daughters Malia and Sasha Obama, now 28 and 25 years old respectively, have moved out on their own.
