The food and treats that parents send, whether they do so by coach, minibus, or train, are a great joy.

But as the student in the accompanying story discovered the hard way, parents may be prankish at times.

In his first year of college, he had just arrived in Bucharest and settled into the residence hall.

He received a call from his parents, who promised to bring him a package. The young man arrived at the train station, grabbed a big box, and hurried back to his dorm room. He was astonished when he opened it, though. There was no food inside; only trash and wrappers. The youngster initially didn’t know what was going on, but later he discovered a note that explained everything.

You neglected to tidy up your room before leaving. There was written, “Please take away the trash.

The young man shared the entire incident on his Facebook page after having learned his lesson and enjoying the practical joke.

The post received thousands of likes and comments and immediately became viral.

The student’s parents had definitely pulled off a clever prank, and he couldn’t help but laugh at himself for falling for it. Despite being initially disappointed at not receiving any goodies from home, he realized that his parents were just trying to teach him a lesson about responsibility and cleanliness.

From then on, the student made sure to keep his room clean and tidy, not wanting to risk receiving another package full of trash. He also made a mental note to double-check the contents of any package his parents sent in the future, just in case they decided to pull off another humorous prank.

The incident also made him appreciate his parents’ sense of humor and their efforts to stay connected with him while he was away at college. It was a reminder that even though he was miles away from home, his parents were still looking out for him and trying to make him smile.

The viral post on Facebook brought a lot of attention to the student’s story, with many people commenting on how funny and relatable it was. Some shared their own experiences of receiving unexpected packages from loved ones, while others commended the student’s parents for their creativity.

In the end, the student learned an important lesson about the importance of keeping his space clean and organized. He also learned to appreciate the little moments of humor and connection that his parents brought into his life, even from a distance. And who knows, maybe he’ll get a real care package full of delicious treats from his parents next time, without any hidden surprises.
