On February 21, the first day of kindergarten in Zigong, Sichuan province, southwest China, a careless father surnamed Wang, put his son on the wrong school bus and proudly recorded the moment on video, without knowing his mistake until he got home.

When they arrived at the bus stop, there happened to be another kindergarten school bus pulling up, as the video shows.

“The school bus is here!” Wang told his son as he waved and said hello to the teacher.

Wang watched the bus slowly drive away before sending the recorded video to his wife, Zhang, and telling her that his mission to get their boy off to school on his first day was a success.

However, not long after Wang returned home, the couple got calls from both kindergartens’ teachers: one saying they hadn’t seen the child, and the other saying their child was at the wrong kindergarten.
