Oof, this dad has taken his prized dad joke too far this time.
Begging your parents for expensive presents is an acquired skill. It takes time to learn how to butter your parents up before asking for that gaming console that costs a few hundred bucks. You've got to wait for a relaxed moment when they aren't cooking or cleaning (or telling you to cook or clean). Then you've got to broach the subject cautiously, and explain all the benefits of this gaming console. Depending on your parents, you might then have to explain to them how you promise not to spend every waking moment playing video games.
It seems to be a source of pride for parents to tell the kiddos that they are absolutely not getting that new PS5 or Nintendo Switch on Christmas morning. Then, the look on their face as you open that gift and react with pure glee is sure to make them smile, too.
This dad knew that his kid was dying to get a Nintendo Switch, but he was the one who switched up on his child. Check out the full story below, as well as comments from people who weren't amused by Dad's shenanigans either.
