#1 son: ‘yay!’
Later;
Mum: ‘Argos only have one left, conveniently it is in Yeovil. Go and get it and I will send the money.'
#1 son: ‘yay!’
Mum: ‘Remember, it is a Christmas present. Bring it back to Kent so I can wrap it up and put it under the tree.’
#1 son (thinks): ‘Yeah, right. That’s gonna happen…’
So number one son dutifully skives off work and goes to Yeovil. Picks up camera.
#1 son: ‘Mother dear said not to open it until Christmas day, but one little look won’t hurt…’
So number one son opens box in car park and promptly drops delicate new camera onto hard, unforgiving concrete.
#1 son: ‘Oh bother. How inconvenient. I really am jolly well vexed now. Dash it.'*
*possibly not a direct quote.
Mum, later: ‘Pillock.’
Moral of the story: ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR MUM KIDS! SHE REALLY DOES KNOW BEST!

This made me laugh not because of the camera but because I was reading the words you didnt write
I have daughters but I know what they would have said as girls are as bad as boys in that respect
