Somebody Get This Guy His Dad of the Week Medal

Birthday prank goes from zero-to-ALL THE FEELS in record time

Three-hundred and sixty-four days out of the year, there is no crying in baseball.

But today, we declare an exception.

In a video that’s been retweeted thousands of times, 12-year-old baseball player Braheim Fowler thinks his dad, Devon, has committed the cardinal sin of parenting: forgetting his birthday.

Not so fast, young Padawan.

Just when it seems as if Braheim can’t sulk any deeper into the minivan passenger seat, Dad tells him to go get a box from the trunk. Inside that box: all of the feels.

Hope you brought your tissuebox.
