When I was younger, there would always be a guy who got his girlfriend the perfect present. Or a son that always made his parents super proud. Made all us regular schlups look really bad.

"In a video sure to make many rethink the gifts they gave their parents this holiday season, a son handed his mother and father a present that made them weep: A note letting them know he'd paid off their mortgage. In the video posted and shared on Reddit, Joseph Riquelme sits between his mother and father. "I have one more gift for you," he says, pulling a small envelope from a sweatshirt pocket. "For both of you."

His mother reads the note inside and her reaction is almost immediate as she begins laughing and crying at the same time. His father reads the note, wipes his eyes and then hugs his son."

I'm sure this stuff happens all the time. Now, we have video proof.

Still, it's a really nice thing he did.
