NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A 2-year-old girl ended up loving her father’s “worst ever” Christmas gift—a banana in wrapping paper.
A video of little Aria receiving the gag gift has been viewed more than 22 million times on Twitter and nearly 750,000 times on Instagram since it was posted on both sites last week.
The father, Twitter user @lgndfrvr, told NBC News that his daughter has been eager for Christmas and Santa to come, so he decided to give her a banana as a joke to see how she would respond.
“I didn’t expect this reaction” to the “worst Xmas gift ever,” he wrote.
In the video, instead of being disappointed, the girl goes bananas for the fruit.
“Banana! Banana!” she shouts in excitement.
When her dad asks if she’s happy, she reacts: “Yeah, I happy!”
Her father says she had the reaction because "She loves life. She loves the simple things."
