We all hope our kids will unwrap the presents we've lovingly chosen for them, smile sweetly and coo, "Just what I wanted! Thank you!" But it doesn't always work out like that, as witnessed by these parents who had the sheer audacity to get their son a BOOK for Christmas. Uh-oh.
Books?! For Christmas? What the heck is that? Before you open up your "spoiled kids these days" rant file, the mom jumps to her own defense on YouTube, explaining that he really is a good 3-year-old kid who loves books and was perhaps overwhelmed by the Christmas festivities. (Gawker's headline: Ungrateful Little Jerk Embodies America's Attitude Towards Reading." Harsh.)
We'll take the mom's word that this little Christmas monster is actually a sweetie. We just hope there's a follow-up video on Sunday, given this comment on her YouTube page: "Just for kicks we're gonna wrap books again for him and see what happens...."
What do you think of his reaction? Have your kids ever been less-than-enthused about a gift like this?
