Prankster inspires rare profanity from his elderly parents

If the holidays are anything, they're about bringing out the worst in loved ones. And it's even better when you can do that with a caring prank.

Reddit user kellenbrent shared this video of his 60-year-old father driving his elderly parents to curse by surprising them on the side of the road. The older couple didn't expect their son to join them for the holidays and he played it up by acting like a man asking for money.

According to kellenbrent, swearing is a rare thing for this family, so it must have felt very rewarding to hear some cursing adding to the pleasant surprise.
