Would you ever do this to your kids?
I probably could. I mean, this was well before Christmas, and it's not like these were the only presents these kids were getting!
Not only would I do this to my kids, I'd laugh so hard at my daughter's reaction... I know I would.
Playing this trick on my son would be really difficult. He'd be just fine with a half eaten PB&J or a hot dog or a hammer or my little pony or a girly coloring book or clothes... So I don't know what I would give him as a joke.
Lol, when I was younger I would constantly bug my mom with questions regarding what she got me for christmas. She would always respond with a rock. Well, one year I opened my present and it was... a rock. She got a kick outta that one...
A few years ago one of my younger cousins responded badly to a present he got at christmas and his parents explained to him that even if he didn't like his present he has to pretend that he does so that whoever gave him the present doesn't get their feelings hurt. The next year he was opening one of his gifts. It was a big package with a smaller package on top. He opened the smaller one first. It was batteries. He starts going on and on about how he's always wanted batteries and how he's SO happy that he finally has these batteries. We were all laughing so hard. It was hilarious.
yeeeppp, I sure would-and did give bad presents when my kids were younger. I am the houshold prankster and my youngest son was such a grumpy picky eater, so I gave him a package of frozen hot dogs and ketchup for Christmas (that's all he would eat.) I gave my other son a coconut in his stocking as he wanted to try our "mixed drinks" all the time (took him two hours to figure out how to open the coconut-AND HE HATED THE TASTE!)
Good times....They still talk about it all these years later.
Omg, my DIL posted this on FB the other day and I cracked up!
I posted the Halloween candy one back in Oct.
I think both are hilarious.
Children are our entertainment sometimes.... and it's fun to mess with and tease them on occasion. Part of teaching them how to endure this BS world we live in.
That last kid and remark was killer.
OMG! That video!
I think you need to just know your kids. I do NOT think it's okay to record your child (with you laughing in the background) to them saying "I hate you Dad" and "Tell Jimmy Kimmel to suck my balls." IMO, that's just encouraging the behavior from the child. But I did laugh at the girl with the banana and the boy crying a little b/c he got a girl's coloring book. I hope that parents would hug their children and tell them it was a joke when overwith.
I would maybe do this to my son. He's 3.5, and already did get to open some good gifts when his Gammie was here visiting last week. I am not sure what he'd do if I wrappped up a girl's coloring book. Probably color in it. An apple - he'd probably start eating it. A can of beans? He'd likely put it aside and ask to open another gift. So eh, probably not a funny reaction in my house.
We would for sure. Funny stuff.
Ohh, Jimmy. He does it again. That hello kitty shirt was pretty funny.
Yes! I thought it was hilarious!
Yes, I watched this. I LOVED the halloween one better, that one I totally could see myself doing to my kids. This one...maybe I could. Its funny to watch at least.
Thought the video was hilarious, but no, I don't think I could do it to my kids.
When we watched the Jimmy Kimmel Halloween joke (the morning after Halloween people recorded telling their kids that they had eaten all their kids' Halloween candy after the kid had gone to bed and all the kids bawled their eyes out) I turned to my husband and said, "I could never and would never do that to our kids!" It's cruel! The present thing wasn't quite as cruel, but I still thought it was mean and wouldn't do it. Admittedly, I laughed so hard I cried throughout the entire video clip of the kids. I would be so embarrassed by some of those kids' reactions that I would be mortified to let other people see them if I was their parent. "Tell him to suck my balls" had me gasping for breath I was laughing so hard, but I could not believe a child would speak like that and the parents weren't too ashamed to share it!
Kids take things too literally and are so sensitive that I would not play with their tender emotions like that. I wouldn't want someone to play a prank like that on me when I was a kid, and the Golden Rule is usually a good gauge for decisions. If I did do it, I would give them a real gift right afterwards.
Oh my gosh that's hilarious!!! Idk if I could do that, but man is it funny!
Suck my balls jimmy! !! I thought it was funny...
