In every drama featuring a small child going to school, there will eventually be the episode where the child has some event at school for which they’d like the parent to attend, but for whatever reason the parent has some important business or obligation to perform that day.
Though the parent assures the child that they will do their best to make it to the event, inevitably they run behind time/lose track of time. so for most of the school event, the child sits there in class with this forlorn look on his/her face. But all is never lost, for NO MATTER WHAT, the parent will ALWAYS show up just before the child’s turn, making the child suddenly burst into smiles as he/she proudly performs his/her thing!

A variation of this cliché is the track and field day event and the excursion trip day, as both involve the parent showing up a the last moment, but none showcase this chiche's awesome unoriginality than when it's presented like the above scenarios! Hahaha, they look like the same episodes with different actors' faces glued over the older ones, LOL
