– This idea came to me a few days before his birthday. I always joked with my sons, Leo and his brother Nico.
– Keeps them grounded
As the 11-year-old was unwrapping her birthday present, she picked up her camera and captured the moment.
– We give them what they want, but first I joke with them, she explains.
This is justified by the following:
-I do this to keep them consistent, so they don’t assume they always get what they want.
I got a MacBook
She says she already had an apple, pasta and a book at home before, so the joke didn’t cost her anything.
– It was just funny. We know that our children can take a joke. His aunts, uncles and cousins were there too. Everyone took it as a joke.
She complained of abdominal pain – a shocking discovery was made
For the record: After the prank was over, Leo was handed his actual birthday present in bubble wrap: an Apple Macbook.
