Dad accuses son of losing wrench he lost himself, son buys him new wrench as a gift for every event for the rest of his life: 'This Father's Day will be wrench number 55!'

The old man was warned!

It's funny how in every family, there are certain events with each family member has a completely different recollection of the sequence of events. Sure, perspective is obviously a subjective phenomenon, but facts are also facts. In this case, this Redditor's father very clearly lost his own wrench, but the old man wound up convincing himself that his son was responsible. Of course, as with all recurring conversations within family dynamics, the son got frustrated by this false version of the story after a while and warned his father that if this narrative continued, he would purchase his dad a replacement wrench for every gift-giving event throughout his father's lifetime. 

Well, his dad must have thought he was joking. Now, for this past Father's Day, the old man received his 55th wrench as a gift from his son.
