Toddler Borrows His Mom’s Phone And Treats Himself To $100 Worth Of McDonald’s
Let’s be real—we could all use a small pick-me-up in the form of comfort food in these times of uncertainty. While most of us do order takeout from time to time, we probably don’t go as far as this little fella, who managed to throw himself a McDonald’s feast after getting a hold of his mom’s phone.
Raissa Andrade, a 32-year-old mom from Recife, Brazil, left her phone unattended only for her son to spot it. Soon enough, the cheeky little guy ordered quite a banquet of 10 bags worth of McDonald’s for roughly $100 (400 Brazilian real).

According to Raissa, her son was left unattended only briefly after she returned from a doctor’s appointment and decided to have a shower, in line with coronavirus procedures. In the meantime, Tom grabbed her phone and used the voice request to order food to their house. Even more, he managed to confirm their address for delivery. Raissa told local media that he must’ve learned that from her, as she herself has ordered takeout food for her and her son during the pandemic.
He ordered 6 Happy Meals, 6 promotional meals, 10 milkshakes, 8 McSundaes, 8 bottles of water, and 8 special offer toys

Among the things Tom ordered were six Happy Meals, six promotional meals, ten milkshakes, eight McSundaes, eight bottles of water, and eight special offer toys.
Naturally, Raissa was in for a surprise when she heard the building’s reception ring to find out that there were 10 bags of McDonald’s waiting to be collected downstairs.
Luckily, the boy’s mother was actually amused by his antics

Despite the huge order, Tom still wasn’t that impressed with the stuff he received. Apparently, the little guy complained to his mom, having rummaged through all the ten bags, that the “yellow minion” he had requested had not been delivered. In addition to this, they had also forgotten Tom’s apple pie. Tsk tsk, McDonald’s.
But worry not, none of the food went to waste. Raissa shared it with some relatives that live in the same building. Also, she explained to the media that the hilarious antics of her son lifted up her mood a bit, as she’s going through an unspecified health issue that prompted a doctor’s visit.

Share on FacebookI really don't find this funny or amusing, but the MOM was amused - it "lifted her spirits"???? AND at the end the kid was complaining that he didn't get everything he wanted!?!?! (I understand he "ordered it" but still) WTF - This is a teachable moment about boundaries that was not utilized. Because he is "young" it is "funny" but no less a disregard for personal boundaries. And the comments that he is "going somewhere" because of his disregard is disturbing and troubling.
He is going some place called "the spoiled brat-town".
Load More Replies...At another time like 40 years ago, we were super tight with money, my mother all she had for the rest of the month was a bill that was perhaps equivalent to 50 dollars, or less. my 4-year-old brother took it and went to the neighboring house Where there was a candy kiosk, he bought a chocolate, the owner of the kiosk cheated him by not giving him the change, my brother's butt was a fuchsia from how my mother punished him, my mother did not let him eat the chocolate, it was not funny at all, for nobody in the house.
Just shows that the system has been toned down to a level that even a 4-year-old can waste $100 in a few minutes. Congrats to the ma on how she educated her son and on how she used this moment as opportunity to teach the child a lesson about the value of money and why you do not steal. /S
This family of course isn't from some favela, otherwise, once found out, the mother would be everything except "amused". This is a rich family and we know well how big is the gap in Brasil, maybe twice if not thrice than in Europe or USA.
What constitutes a toddler in other places? In America a 4 year old is not a toddler. A toddler is like 1.5-2.5 or maybe 3rd bday.
Do you think people with kids shower with them? My 4yo is perfectly capable of being alone while I'm in the bathroom. Apparently hers is too.
