This reminds me of my family's favourite home video of me... It was Christmas in the mid-late 90's when I was still a toddler. My father and my uncle are pretty funny guys, and every year they sent each other a prank gift. That year's gift for my father was a small, purple, air-filled, plastic monster with weird hair and little tube coming out of its head. When you squeezed the monster, it produced a fart noise that was pretty comical... but not to me. I was horrified! (Keep in mind this is all on video). I started crying and no one could stop me, all while my little brother was climbing around on tables. Whenever there is a family gathering, especially with the aunt, uncle, and cousin that were there, we always play this video.
