Why do dads need to mess with their little kids at Christmas?

Recently, a young father wanted to see what would happen if he gave his daughter “the worst” Christmas present he could think of.

Turns out — his daughter reacted quite the opposite of what he expected.

Twitter user LGNDFRVR, identified as Justice Mojica by USA Today, recently posted footage of his daughter opening her gift.

He captioned the video clip this way: “I tried giving my daughter the worst X-mas gift ever and I didn’t expect this reaction.”

Mojica apparently decided that a banana was the “worst” Christmas gift.

Surprisingly, his daughter disagreed.

And based on her reaction, a banana might be the best Christmas present ever.

Twitter users were actually really pleased with the child’s response.

One user responded, “When I was a little kid, about her age I guess, I loved bananas so much that my parents put them in my stocking from Santa. And it was wonderful. This is so cute.”

Another user shared a similar experience: “My dad did the same with oranges! He still does.”

One user took a more philosophical approach, writing, “The mind of every little child is priceless and beautiful. Don’t know how creation fits this in them — they just know how to model happiness. Happiness is free and it is everything. No matter what, always find happiness in whatever you have, ’til you get whatever you need.”

“That kid’s gratitude and excitement is the greatest gift we can ask for!” wrote another user.
