QuoteA Dad Photoshopped Ewoks Into His Family Pictures to Convince His Kids Ewoks Were Real

I think I'm giving Anthony Herrera the dad of the year title. Why? Because when he brought his kids to Sequoia National Park he told them Ewoks lived there. Of course, his kids ended up being disappointed when they didn't see any Ewoks there. But don't worry! Herrera added Ewoks to the background of his family pictures.

THEY WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME! In his words:

QuoteBeing the Star Wars geek that I am (so is she), I told her that this is where the Ewoks live. She spent a good chuck of our time hiking keeping a lookout for any Ewoks. Coming home I can't say that she wasn't disappointed that we didn't find any. I had to explain that they are extremely shy and hardly ever let anyone see them. After we got home, and after I had a little time alone with the photos, I told her I thought I saw something strange in a few pictures. We viewed them on the TV to get a larger image. You can imagine how surprised and excited she was when we discovered that we didn't see any Ewoks, but they saw us, and had certainly taken an interest in her and her little brother. Maybe I'm a little wrong for lying to her and falsifying the pictures, but I don't care. She'll never forget the time she spent in the big woods with Ewoks.

Well, as lies that people tell to their children go, this one is rather harmless. At least he is not telling his daughter that there is a bearded asshole in the sky who would make her suffer for eternity if she kissed a girl.

Maybe he'll go out with a gun one day and show them photos of the Ewoks he shot.

That's adorable.

Maybe if Martinus' parents had been willing to do stuff like this for him, he might have turned out normal.

The overall concept is cute, but Ewoks are soooooo 1983.  Does he sit & play the Atari 2600 with the kids, too?

That's the problem with "cool" parents. They are even more embarassing because they do outdated stuff.

He builds small sized Jar-Jar Binks in the garden.

Meh.  Making the kids happy is waaaaaaaaay more important than making random internet assholes happy...
