Haha no scolding this time, but he thought it’s a fake.

So thought we can appreciate him with a batman. Though, it can never compare to his love, dedication, and sacrifice for his family.
I initially wanted a Pepsi, but AD was able to pull a Batman for us.



PS: We expect he will scold us when giving him this.


Lol at the scolding part. Must be an Asian dad. Lol
