4-Year-Old Boy Orders Home Delivery Of Thousands Of Treats Using Dad's Phone

Thanks to modern technology, it's easier than ever to order things straight to your front door — often with the touch of a touchscreen. One parent found this out the hard way after their four-year-old decided to spend big.

Has your kid ever made an unauthorized order?

Unless you're serious about security, anyone with access to your phone is probably able to move some money around. I know that anyone with access to my unlocked phone would be able to, at least.

A four-year-old recently decided to make a big order.

His dad, Gareth Davies, recounted the whole thing in a Twitter thread. The clever toddler racked up a £451.27 bill — about $560 USD — and even booked a delivery slot.

Here's a sample.

Because this happened in England, and I'm in North America, the only thing I recognize here is the meat. The kid really likes Fab and Mr. Kipling, whatever those things are, ordering 99 of each.

Fair enough.

Sometimes it's hard to argue with the logic of a small child. I mean, this is the perfect answer if you're ever asked why you've ordered 99 Fabs.

At least he pitched in.

I mean, I'm on board with this story overall, but I'm beginning to doubt that Gareth Davies' kid is this cheeky. Whatever. I'm just here for the comedy.

Here's the full breakdown.

Again with the weird British treats that I don't understand. Viennese Whirls? Hundreds upon hundreds of Bakewells? Frubes? Also, I thought deodorant manufacturers stopped using cans in, like, 1930.

Asking the real questions.

While the list largely represents a four-year-old's fever dream of stocking up on every treat known to humanity, at least the little guy cares about hygiene as well.

Talk about prepping.

Gareth and his son don't exactly have the makings of a balanced diet with this list. But what it lacks in quality, it more than makes up for in quantity. Lots of Fabs, lots of Bakewells. Even a few Frubes.

Did it arrive?

Tantalizingly, Davies doesn't say whether he canceled the order or not. A Tesco spokesperson said, "This rather unusual order didn't quite have all the essentials, but with weather this good, we think it might just be possible to get through 594 Fabs!"
