‘I want the broccoli farm’: Parents’ circus surprise TOTALLY backfires

One poor mam and dad saw their plan go disastrously wrong recently after they attempted to 'surprise' their son with a trip to the circus.

Like so many YouTube parents before them, the couple waited until the last minute to reveal to their four-year-old that they were headed for the circus, with a camera at the ready to record his joyful reaction.

Except it wasn't joyful. Not at all. After originally being told by his prankster parents that he was off to "the broccoli farm", Max was horrified to hear the truth.

A circus? Nah. He was having none of it, even when his dad tried to tempt him with talk of "elephants."

All poor Max could do was repeat "I wanted to go to the broccoli farm" over and over, before bursting into tears.

We hope his dream of a day out at the broccoli farm comes true one day.
