Many of us will have unwrapped Christmas presents today, but one girl has left the internet laughing with her reaction to the 'worst' present ever.
When it comes to Christmas presents, it's no secret that not all of them are great. Whether you got a pair of socks you don't need or some chocolates you don't like, we've all been gifted some pretty rubbish things before - and this Christmas will be no different. But one dad went out of his way to give his daughter the "worst present ever" just to see how she would react, and her response did not disappoint.
Aria was very excited about the banana (LGNDFRVR/Youtube)The father-of-three, from Los Angeles, gave his young daughter an early Christmas present back in December 2019 and had hoped to prank her with the strange gift as he carefully wrapped up a banana and handed it to her.
Dressed in adorable pyjamas and sitting on the sofa near her mum, Aria tore into the festive paper and her whole face lit up as she spotted a flash of yellow inside and quickly realised what it was. Young Aria grins and shrieks with joy, proclaiming: "Banana!"
She repeated this word excitedly several times, as her mum helped her remove the rest of the wrapping paper. The little girl then asks her mum to open the fruit and quickly begins eating it, telling both parents just how yummy it is.

The dad posted the clip of his daughter on Twitter, now known as X, where it then went viral. Thousands of people also commented on the footage, with many people loving Aria's reaction. One person replied: "The Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day," while another wrote: "We don't deserve kids," and a third posted: "She's soooo happy, this is the most heartfelt video I've ever seen."
The dad went on to explain that he conducted the same present prank on his eldest son, Justice, the Christmas before his prank on Aria. And what's more, Justice was also thrilled to receive the yellow fruit.
He said: "Last year around this time, for Christmas, we pranked Justice. We gave him a banana as a present and we wanted to see his reaction. His reaction was great, he was really grateful despite the fact that he just got a banana."
