Parents Terrify Kids With Hilarious Grinch Photoshoot Prank

Two parents pulled off a hilarious prank on their kids, leaving them fleeing in horror from the Grinch. Watch it below:

LaBrenda and Kedrick Patton, from Batesville in Mississippi, took their five children to go and get some festive photos done - but the poor youngsters had no idea what was in store them.

As the kids happily posed for the shots, a man dressed up as the Grinch crept up behind them. Genius.

In the clip, Kendrick, 30, can be heard telling the kids they look 'awesome', adding 'all six of y'all', which prompts his seven-year-old daughter Alyssa to start counting.

But before she gets finished counting, the Grinch taps her on the shoulder - causing the kids to let out a scream.

There's a mini-stampede as they scramble try to get away from the Grinch.

Poor little Alyssa ended up on the ground and was kicked before she managed to escape, but fortunately she's fine.

LaBrenda, 26, said: "Their reactions were just unbelievable. We honestly didn't expect them to react like this.

"We had seen that the photographer was doing photoshoots involving the Grinch and thought it would be fun to do it with the kids too.

"It was mainly for Kolton as a first Christmas photoshoot and to see what his reaction would be. We definitely didn't expect the older ones to react this way.

"We did find it hilarious, but we did pick them up a McDonald's each on the way home to make up for it."

I think I speak for all of us when I say the photographs are worth every penny, just for this shot alone:

You're a mean one, Mr Grinch.

After sharing the fun clip online, 11-year-old K'nya was praised for not dropping her baby brother Kolton in the scramble to get away.

One person wrote: "Shout to the baby who didn't drop the baby. Baby girl in the pink had me dying."

Another person commented: "At least she didn't drop the baby! Merry Christmas."

A third person said: "She held on to the baby... But baby girl counted like wait theirs 5 but couldn't swim away fast enough [sic]."
