When you’re studying abroad and want to ensure your mom feels your presence, what better way than to send her a life-sized cardboard cutout of yourself? That’s exactly what young Alex Thompson did to bring a smile to his mother’s face.
“I was adapting to my new environment and realized I hadn’t been in touch with her as often,” Thompson shared with a popular parenting blog. “So I thought it would be hilarious for her to receive a surprise package featuring a life-size version of me.”
A Prank with a Twist
However, Alex’s mom, Linda Thompson, took the prank to a whole new level. She started taking the cutout on various outings and sending Alex photos of his cardboard doppelgänger enjoying life.
- Here’s a snapshot of the cutout enjoying a romantic dinner with an oversized Barbie doll.
- And another where he’s having a fun game of frisbee with the family dog.
- Not to mention a visit at the doctor’s office.
- And spending quality time with relatives.
- Even cheering at a junior high sports event.
Alex shared these amusing escapades on social media, captioning them: “Jokingly sent my mom a cutout of myself while studying abroad. She seems to be having a blast with it.” The post quickly gained traction, racking up nearly a million views. Clearly, Alex inherited his sense of humor from his witty mother.
