Dad Is Astonished By His Son’s ‘Ransom’-Style Money Request; Online Refers To Him As Barbaric

When it comes to “politeness,” even peace-loving icons like Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi would fall short when it comes to children begging their parents for money. This is particularly prevalent among college and high school students. A youngster who was doing the same thing performed something like with his father and added a formal touch. The father, Dr. Manish Kumar, subsequently posted the same professional but humorous “money request” online. The father’s subsequent admission that the message seemed more “random” to him attracted greater attention. The post went viral right away, leaving social media users ROLFing.

The user “drmanishranchi” published the post on the social media platform X, which was once known as Twitter. “My son has a sense of humor,” read the caption on the photo.

For many reasons, the post became quite popular on the internet. People’s comments on the statement ranged from “smart” to “savage” to “hilarious.” The majority of respondents also remembered strategies they had used in the past, and a few recounted tales of others who had engaged in same behavior. Yesterday, the post was shared and 157K people saw it.

Many offered their opinions in the comment area. “I had a friend from college forty years ago who sent his father a mysterious postcard that said, ‘I’m doing well.'” Send extra money if you’re doing well, a user said.

A second source said, “He had persuaded his parents to send a fairly substantial amount (in the 1960s) because he needed a ‘log table’ for his Math and described what a big wooden table it was.” A third said, “This is hilarious, I would try the same.”

A fourth user said, “Your son is a gentleman.” “Dad, I used to tell you I loved you.” An other user said, “It was a signal k paise dedo.” “Hehe, this is quite adorable. A sixth person said, “It’s encouraging to see a son and dad getting along well, or that mom is often the mediator.
