Watch North Carolina soldier dad photobomb his son during school picture day

Joshua Bass's father had returned to US after a year in Kuwait

Joshua Bass was photobombed by his father

Eight-year-old Joshua Bass was under the impression he was simply getting his picture taken during his school’s annual photograph day.

But as Joshua was posing for his school picture Friday at Pearsontown Magnet Elementary in Durham, North Carolina, he was joined by his father, Corporal James Bass, who is on leave after a year overseas. The ABC 11 television channel said Mr James had been deployed in Kuwait.

After being shown the picture that contains his father standing behind him, Joshua shows his delight.

“Daddy,” he yells, as father and son hug.
