Your Weekly Dose of Wholesome Reddit: Man Tells Parents His New Girlfriend is Trans, Dad in Response: 'Let's Get Ice Cream'

Here at Cheezburger, we aim to see you smile. It's why we sent you off to your weekend with a list of male equivalents of stealing your boyfriend's hoodie, and it's why we're bringing you the most wholesome story from r/BestofRedditorUpdates you'll read online today to kick off your week.

Two weeks ago, a woman sook advice on how to tell her husband that their son's new girlfriend is trans. The original poster, a mom of three boys, only cared that her son was happy but wasn't entirely sure how her husband would react. She and her son agreed she'd tell his father before they met up for a double date, and, true to her word, mom told dad.

His reaction? Nodding and refusing to talk about it. All through dinner. His only words were, 'trust me.'

At the end of the meal, he insisted they all go out for ice cream since he's always looking for an excuse to get ice cream (who isn't?), and with one epic line made us shed a tear.

This is a long read, folks, and worth every minute. So buckle in and get the tissue ready for this heartwarming wholesome story of acceptance and love.
