dadtrapping - You take a random kid, not your kid, to the store so you can

You take a random kid, not your kid, to the store so you can look like a broken, poor dad and get all the ladies to feel bad for you.

I brought my cousin to the store and said I was a single dad. The clerk gave me a discount. My cousin was confused and asked why I was crying.

I took my nephew to the market. I told everyone I had no money. They gave me free candy. My nephew was happy. I was embarrassed.

I brought my niece to the store. I acted like I was poor and sad. The store manager gave me a free sandwich. My niece didn’t know what was going on.
