  G one O five. It is Trevor. Erica is on vacation this week
• 0:04
  and I saw this story on NBC News today, this Triangle family making national
• 0:09
  news because their three year old son woke up at three am Christmas morning and
• 0:13
  unwrapped the entire family's Christmas presence. So that is what the family woke up
• 0:19
  to Christmas morning. Scott and Katie rink and thanks so much for taking the
• 0:22
  time to talk to us. Oh, he thanks so much for having us.
• 0:25
  We appreciate it. So paint the picture for us. What exactly did
• 0:29
  you wake up to Christmas morning? It really it was in the middle of
• 0:32
  the night. Still, because what happened is our three year old came downstairs
• 0:36
  and unbeknownst to us, opened all of the presents. And what announced to
• 0:42
  us that something bad had happened was he came back upstairs loudly requesting for scissors.
• 0:47
  He had found his Spider Man wet shooters and he just needed to finish
• 0:51
  the task of getting them open. And so we knew something had gone terribly
• 0:54
  wrong at that point. So did you race downstairs to see what had happened?
• 0:59
  Is a dual effort. Yeah, Katie got to tackle that part.
• 1:02
  Yeah, we could get back in bead and like thinking. So Scott took
• 1:07
  care of putting the kids back in bed, and I ran downstairs and could
• 1:10
  not believe it. He stared absolutely nothing from the tiniest I had bought our
• 1:14
  secured knee racer. He opened up the racer. In our family, we
• 1:17
  wrap everything, and so he probably went through twenty five gifts, you know,
• 1:22
  small to large, and we did not have any wrapping paper left.
• 1:26
  So Katie played the heroic role. She quickly rewrapped everything using like the scraps
• 1:32
  of paper, because we feel like the three year old got his adrenaline Russian,
• 1:36
  but the six year old deserved the same magic, and so she quickly
• 1:40
  kind of touched things together and luckily saved the day. Oh man, So
• 1:44
  I hate wrapping presents, So to have to do it twice like that,
• 1:48
  I can't even imagine. See, I'm uniquely bad at it, and Katie
• 1:51
  is uniquely good at it, and so to have to do it like with
• 1:53
  like just the scraps and pieces, it was definitely tough, tough for her.
• 1:57
  I think it was so sad because the night before it spent an hour
• 2:00
  or two like very carefully wrapping everything. I like presented it so well.
• 2:07
  Now, I in reading the NBC News article, I love the explanation that
• 2:12
  he gave you guys for why he did this. Yeah, he was so
• 2:15
  genuine. He told us that he really wanted to lower the confusion level for
• 2:21
  everybody, and he felt like since they were all wrapped up, we just
• 2:24
  couldn't see what they were, and so he was trying to kind of reveal
• 2:28
  everything so that when we got down there, we'd all know whose gifts were,
• 2:31
  who's and all that. Well, so he was just trying to help
• 2:34
  you shod. You should really be thanking him, right. Yeah, he
• 2:37
  took on quite a task. I mean, I will say that we kind
• 2:39
  of had this response over and over on Twitter in other places, just that
• 2:45
  he has given us a story that will tell probably for the rest of our
• 2:47
  lives, certainly at his wedding. So it's nice to have just one hilarious
• 2:53
  story that came out of it. Sure we could have gotten upset, but
• 2:55
  the easier thing to do is laugh and have fun with it. And he's
• 3:00
  he's that fun kid in our family anyway, so it was kind of the
• 3:02
  perfect setting for him. Well, Scott and Katie rankin Triangle. Family here
• 3:07
  made national news today. Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to
• 3:09
  us and have a happy new year. Absolutely same to you.
