A grandpa celebrating his 100th birthday had family members bursting with laughter when he flipped the custom t-shirt surprise they had planned on its head.
Relatives of George Strausman, from Long Island, New York, have a tradition stemming back a quarter of a century, where they wear clothes stating their relationship to George during his birthday celebrations.
Over the years, t-shirt slogans have ranged from โGeorgeโs Wifeโ and โGeorgeโs Granddaughterโ to having his name changed to โJorgeโ while celebrating in Mexico.

It had been several years since the family had been away with George and his wife, Annie, 87, and so they asked if the couple could them on a trip to Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic.

As the family gathered in their t-shirts, waiting for George and Annie to come down to breakfast, they saw the couple arrive in familiar garments.
George and Annie were wearing their original t-shirts from Georgeโs first ever surprise 25 years earlier, which caused the group to burst into laughter and astonishment.
