A humble son happily opened everyday toiletries disguised as his 16th birthday present– only to sprint outside in pure joy when he discovered the key to his first car hidden inside.
Brrayden had been saving up for his first car, with his mom and stepdad, Meaghan and Mel Harmon, from Belleville, Illinois promising they would match whatever the teenager was able to put aside.
But Meaghan’s grandpa, Joe, called her to say he wanted to gift Brrayden a car for his 16th birthday, which, at the time, was still months away.
The family purchased a car and stored it at Meaghan’s uncle’s house, before planning to surprise the youngster when he returned home from visiting his father in Texas during the summer.
Brrayden was gifted what he thought were his birthday presents – a series of toiletries that Meaghan had swiftly sourced from around the house.
Despite how underwhelming the presents might have first appeared to the teen, he still enthusiastically accepted them, before being encouraged to open a box at the bottom of the bag.
Inside, Brrayden discovered the keys to his first-ever vehicle, which caused the stunned 16-year-old to head outside and run around pure joy when he laid eyes on his first ride.

Meaghan said: “My son is really such an amazing kid he is the oldest of seven, he helps with his siblings gets good grades, plays basketball for his high school and is all around just a good kid.
“He made a lot of sacrifices growing up due to me being a single mom and having more kids and working full time that required his help as well.
“Everyone seems to love the surprise.
“We aren’t rich by any means, I would say middle class, but my son remains humble.
“Money is a non-factor you can buy your kids everything and if you don’t teach them the simple principles of life, nothing will matter.”
