Don’t Act Like This On Mother’s Day

This is a funny video my son Jack made as a parody of the TV show Super Sweet 16. The reality show gives you a glimpse on the spoiled brats of America and the way their parents try in vain to please them with over the top parties. The kids are generally impossible to please no...
