A MUM who told her 12-year-old son she couldn’t buy him a PS5 has been pranking him by buying and hiding it in plain sight around the house.
Generous mum Helen Child Villiers, from Monmouthshire, said her son Nate had been desperate for the new console but had “taken it in his stride” when she told him he couldn’t have one.
Taking to Facebook she wrote: “So I’ve decided to have a little fun with it taking photos of it doing things and where possible with him in the background.
“Please enjoy the photos. I can’t wait till Christmas Day!!”
Single mum Helen shared comical pictures of the console being placed in the same room as Nate without his knowledge.
People have been highly entertained by her funny prank and said he will love the joke on Christmas Day.
