Chris Martin, 47, lives in Spokane, Washington, and has a 19-year-old daughter named Cassie who loves dramatic selfies: exaggerated poses, filters, daring outfits, and tattoos prominently displayed for the camera.
He didn’t like any of that. But instead of lecturing her, he did something better: he put on wigs, drew tattoos with marker, found homemade accessories, and recreated every one of his daughter’s selfies with laugh-out-loud accuracy. Flower crown included.
He posted the photos side by side, and the result was devastating for any daughter’s ego: his account ended up with twice as many followers as Cassie’s. She took it with humor, because in that family, sarcasm is a sport practiced every day. And that is how “Selfie Dad” was born, the dad who beat his daughter at her own game.
