Well, it sounds like they were teaching him a lesson... The article says...

A post says: “For all you thinking this is messed up, he sneaked a look at his gifts, so his family played a prank on him.

“He got the 360 a week later.”

So, that’s what it appears happened. It’s not a bad idea, actually — to teach the kid a lesson that instead of looking to see what he’s “getting” (a “gimme attitude”), it perhaps taught him to be “thankful” — at the later time when he did get the gift...

He probably won’t do that again... LOL...

Wouldn’t that be a week from now? This is why I wonder if this is real to begin with.
