He didn't go home with the toy- so his entire following was quite upset (he's got an instagram). One of the followers offered to send it to him! I went down the rabbit hole after seeing this earlier today 😂

TLDR he ended up being sent the toy by an instagram follower

I'm a little dissapointed, that he hasn't got it from his parrents. He clearly outsmarted the argument and should have been rewarded for it. imho

It teaches your kids that you are unfair and unjust :/ it will stop your kids from seeking to abide by you rules because "well their rules are bs and unfair"

It depends on what happened after this clip. Saying something that "fits" in your hand means something that is the size of your hand. The dad did change it up to "can you hold it with one hand" because he was trying to think of a way to explain what the word "fits" means. So the kids still should have been able to get a toy the size of his hand. But the fact that he didn't get this toy isn't unfair. The question is was the dad able to adequately explain why.
