10 year-old Santiago receives a cutting board from his parents, and says he is excited to cut food with it. Then he receives the REAL gift; his mother saved enough to get him a tablet.
What gets me is that he went to hug his parents before he opened up and looked at the tablet. Priorities. And i guess he tries to repair his own sneakers with glue. He’s a frugal and thoughtful kid. I wish all kids could be this grateful for what they receive.
Kid: Oh, chopping board! (smile)
Dad: What does it say?
Kid: It’s nice, it is to put meat on it and cut it with a knife. Now I’m only missing a fork.
Dad: Yes but, what does the card say?
Kid: I’ve read it already, “For you to eat barbecue with your knife. We love you a lot mom and dad”. Thanks!
Mom: You can use any fork (hugh) I love you.
-other gift-
Dad: What does it say?
Kid: For you to not use Poxiran any longer (Poxiran: glue commonly used to glue sneakers). Sneakers!… I won’t have to use Poxiran…
Aaand then he sees the tablet inside the shoes box and cries. He is a good boy.
