A California man took his toddler son for a mani-pedi after the boy’s teacher told him “painting your nails is only for girls.”

“My son came home from school upset because his teacher told him that painting his nails is only for girls, so today I’m taking him to the nail shop!” the 3-year-old's father, Christian Shearhod said in a video shared to TikTok.

The clip – which as of Thursday had more than 4 million views and had garnered more than 700,000 likes – shows Shearhod’s son, Ashton, at a West Hollywood nail salon, excitedly shouting, “I want pink!” before the service.

  1. there is nothing wrong with the little child getting his fingernails painted. men get manicures and are not any less manly.

  2. My brother used to get his nails painted by me because he wanted to do everything big sister did I don’t see why it’s a big deal

  3. OMG. The kid being ‘groomed’ regarding gender at that age is a travesty. Just let him be a kid .. Those parents need counseling.

  4. I guess it’s too late now that he sees daddy wearing mommy’s pearls lol😂. He’s probably an “influencer “ 😂

  5. USA Today is too woke for me – that is why I do not visit their website any more. If they keep choosing videos like this in the future, I may Unsubscribe from their Youtube site also.
