Picture it. Your kid is sitting in a room and someone offers them the one Christmas gift they’ve been begging you to buy, but there’s a catch. They can take that gift, or they can walk out with one gift for you. What do you think your kids are going to pick?
Gifts for themselves or a gift for Mom and Dad? Hint: Your kids are probably a lot sweeter than you’re likely to give them credit for being. At least that’s the moral of an incredibly sweet viral video out of Up TV and the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Atlanta.
