One Ohio elementary school student’s teachers got an amusing, if brutally honest, Christmas present this year: A bottle of wine with a label reading, “Our child might be the reason you drink so enjoy this bottle on us!”

The tweet, from Dayton, Ohio’s DJ Sommers, stated that his parents deviated from their usual gift-giving practice this year.

“My parents always get our elementary school teachers a present around Christmas. Typically something small like a candle or flower to say thank you. This year they got them bottles of wine & replaced the labels with their own with my brother on them ... Happy holidays,” Sommers tweeted.

The tweet has since garnered national media attention, and more than 5,500 retweets and 36,000 comments.
