‘THATS MY DAD’: Daughter exposes mom’s high school crush as a ‘total fox’, then his family finds the video and reveals what happened

A woman’s fun attempt to embarrass her mother by sharing her 1982 yearbook crushes on TikTok led to an unexpected, feel-good moment when the family of one of the “total foxes” quickly found the viral video. The video, which went viral with nearly 6 million views, features user @calikatcauseschaos (formerly @dixie.normousbabe) flipping through her mom’s high school yearbook.

This isn’t just any old yearbook, though. It’s complete with doodles and handwritten notes labeling two specific classmates as “total foxes.” The daughter, who clearly understands the power of a good throwback, showed off the two lucky students who earned the coveted “fox” title back in 1982: Kevin Omara and Mike Raster. Their portraits were framed in a blue border, cementing their status as high school heartthrobs, according to Daily Dot.

The daughter even tried to play matchmaker, making a direct appeal to one of the men. She told the camera that if Kevin O’Mara was watching, he should contact her mother because, hey, she’s single. But it was the family of the other “total fox,” Mike Raster, who completely stole the show.

Viral posts can find the people they are about

Within no time at all, the video had made its way to the Raster kids, who flooded the comments section with enthusiastic and heartwarming messages confirming that the yearbook crush was indeed their father. One of Mike Raster’s children, Ann Marie Raster, was clearly thrilled, commenting, “MIKE RASTER IS MY DAD I AM DYING.”

Another Raster kid immediately chimed in, practically shouting through the screen, “THATS MY DAD!!!!! MY FATHER!!!!” They added a sweet personal note, confirming that their dad is still a great guy who “loves his dog and 6 children.” A third child, Catherine Raster, also confirmed the news, calling him “TRULY THE BEST!”

The Raster family was so excited about the unexpected internet fame that they started sharing recent photos of their father in the comments section, proving that a “total fox” never truly loses his charm. It’s nice to see happy stories like this instead of schools making mistakes with images.

My mom wants to film a reponse video so badly! My grandpa (her father) passed away yesterday, so we’ve both been a bit distracted. Enjoy this that I was able to film in the meantime! #fypシ #fyp #1980s

This whole episode taps into a pretty common habit many of us have. I think it’s totally relatable to feel curious about people from your past. While social platforms often feel chaotic and overwhelming, moments like these underscore their unique ability to bridge connections that time and distance have otherwise severed.

The video proves that sometimes, all it takes is a grainy yearbook photo and a viral platform to turn a decades-old memory into a fantastic modern-day story. I like posts like this much more than celebrities who look like others in their yearbooks. While the original poster was hoping to set her mom up, she ended up creating a heartwarming moment for the Raster family and millions of viewers who loved following the story.
