Aunt takes back ungrateful 14-year-old's birthday gift after entitled reaction, gifts it to her 10-year-old brother instead to teach her a lesson: "I wanted an iPhone, Auntie"

How do you react when you receive a gift that you don't really like? Small children tend to make it pretty obvious, often earning a rebuke from an embarassed parent. Kids eventually learn that honesty is not the best policy in these situations, and that they should focus more on feeling gratitude on the thought behind the gift – or at least pretend to.

Kids more often than not learn to smile and say, "Thanks," to dissapointing presents by the time they're in grade school to varying levels of convincingness. However, in our story today, we meet a teenager who has no quite learned her lesson yet. When she receives and expensive Android phone for her birthday from her aunt, she remarks that she would have preferred an iPhone instead of thanking her. Aiming to teach the entitled teen a lesson, our protagonist asks for the phone back and regifts it to her younger brother. Get all the details of this story by scrolling down below.
