This little boy doesn't think books are real christmas presents so he speaks out. Like a boss.

After opening a whole bunch of toys, my son 3 year old came across a present with books....keep in mind that this was kinda like his first "real" Christmas....and again he's was only three years old!....let me repeat. ONLY THREE YEARS OLD... And that he could just about understand and get the concept of the whole gift getting thing. I guess much to the blame of me, the media, and every commercial out there on TV he was more under the perception that you only get "toys" for christmas. To him Books are the fun time we spend reading (no less than three) every night before he goes to bed. Let me make something clear again. HE REALLY DOES LOVE BOOKS! But I'm guessing he was "overwhelmed" after opening way too many gifts (my fault I went overboard that year) and I think he felt "tricked upon" when he opened the books.....plus the fact that we were laughing at his reaction kinda egged him on to say the Poo statement..... He really is one of the sweetest kids I know and to see this reaction (if you know him yourself) IS cute.
I have deleted a lot of very undeserved negative comments that have been posted....I understand now that without a good understanding of the back history one could make a poor assumption of him....but now i hope you know that he was ONLY THREE YEARS OLD PEOPLE and that he only thought your supposed to get toys for christmas....partly because of how commercialized this holiday has become.....we have since taught him differently..............but just for kicks were gonna wrap books again for him and see what happens....

Searched, found nothing.

"POOP. I say Poop!"

Clever thread title.

Kid is right though. No kid wants a book for christmas.

at least he didn't get clothes.

How preposterous of that child!

 

[speculawyer]

If you want to get depressed you should read about all the letters Santa is getting this year from kids who are just asking for shoes, clothing, and school supplies for Christmas.

I was expecting the parents to pull a 360 out from the closet and say "just kidding". My god, what kind of parents would do that to their kid.

 

[lightless_shado]

Hate it when people complain. You should be lucky you got any gifts you little prick.

 

[Nappuccino]

for children or of children?

For. Too late to edit the title.

Help children not get books for Christmas! Copy this into your status and change your Facebook profile picture to poop.

Oh, so it wasn't intentional?

In that case, you misspelt "for" and "buy".

that's fucked up :\

Fuuu, Sometimes my brain works faster than my fingers.

 

[Fritz]

Oh god, I got my two godsons books and they are about that age. And I hated books myself!!! What have I become!?

The books are pop-up books with sound though. They might just pass.

 

[whitehawk]

Fuuu, Sometimes my brain works faster than my fingers.

I thought they were intentional for a pun. Because if you don't buy kids books, they won't grow up to be able to spell thread titles they post on GAF correctly.

 

[AtomskEater]

I loved getting books or gift cards to bookstores. Although I will agree that clothes are the worst gifts for kids.

Dang, I was kinda hoping someone was making a PSA to not by books made of Children

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

I bought my 5 year old niece a set of books for Christmas this year, but only because she asked for them. Let's hope that is what she still wants and doesn't end up calling me poop.....

 

[Siebzehn50]

I got two books for my 4 year old son and I'm sure he'll like them.

I also got him a castle so I think I'm safe either way.

 

[DominoKid]

i remember i got books one year as an xmas present when i was 10 and i just looked at my mom and said "You do still have the receipt for these right?"

She did. I got a board game instead.

 

[mysticwhip]

What a little shit.

 

[glaurung]

I see a bright future for this kid.

Spoiler

...as an actor in Jersey Shore.

Yeah...we'll go with that...

:lol :lol :lol like a boss

indeed. looking back i was an ungrateful little shit but oh well.

He got the Xbox. This was punishment for him sneaking into his moms bedroom and sneaking a look at the prezzies.

I dunno if there is a second vid.

 

[DR2K]

Books suck at all ages.

 

[Adam J.]

Kid is much more articulate than my 3 year-old niece. He must be secretly reading when his parents aren't around.

Wonder if he's still rocking that Wii...

 

[Freshmaker]

Clever thread title.

Kid is right though. No kid wants a book for christmas.

Argyle socks OTOH...

 

[Monocle]

Books suck at all ages.

Maybe if you hate reading. Which is a pretty dumb attitude to have, let's be honest. It's understandable that a little kid wouldn't be thrilled about getting books, though.

 

[Phoenix]

My 3-4 year olds actually love reading books and picked out ones they wanted for Christmas. They like the bedtime story aspect of it so its probably more about family time than it is the books themselves, but they LOVE getting new books.... so long as they get some games to go with it.

 

[Ramirez]

I can't believe we have people in here calling a 3 year old a prick and other assorted names, sheesh.

I did Still do.

Get outta town. I loved getting books for Christmas.

 

[MNC]

How preposterous of that child!

Holy shit :lol


And normally I kinda hate this d'aww kids videos. But this kid's pretty funny :lol

 

[Hylian7]

This.

He's three years old and doesn't understand. All of you wouldn't have understood if you were three years old either. Also, read the description in the video, it explains things pretty well too. The kid's not ungrateful or anything like that, he was just under the wrong impression that Christmas is for toys and toys only, not books. The parents are fully aware of their mistake, but shit happens, it's okay. Calm down GAF.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Did the kid say " what the fuck is that?"
Lolllers!!

 

[pnjtony]

He was pretty articulate for three years old. Seems to me, having books read to him every night is paying off. They're creating their own monster.

 

[Suairyu]

While I would have been pissed had I not got some toys as well, getting books for Christmas was a goddamn treat for me. This child...

 

[Nose Master]

I would have done the same if I was three years old and got books. WTF? It's not like he's exactly reading by himself for pleasure at that age, at best he'd just be reading aloud for a pat on the head. Such a cop-out for a young kid, you're going to buy him those books anyways.

 

[SmokyDave]

When I were a lad we were grateful for christmas morning because it was the only day that the workhouse master was too drunk to kick us.

But we were 'appy.

 

[Numpt3]

So evil, but funny non the less.

 

[Mr. Sam]

That father doesn't know how to punctuate properly. He should get his son cracking on those books.

 

[Seep]

Spoilt little bastard.

That second video is disgusting, fucking pathetic parenting skills they should be shot.

Damn. That kid looked so freakin' disappointed, I felt bad for him. Good thing he got his Xbox, though.

 

[tiff]

i don't even think i could talk when i was 3

at least he didn't get clothes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKwCQWjTyI0&feature=related

i get what they were doing, but Jesus Christ how long do you sit there watching your kid bawl his eyes out on Christmas morning before you go "just kidding dude here's your Xbox?"
