“Guess what’s for dinner tonight, guys? Ben and Jerry’s,” the dad said. “I’m gonna clean all y’all’s rooms up tonight. I’m gonna do all y’all’s laundry. I’m gonna give you a little extra allowance today. And I’m gonna make y’all some hot chocolate. And I got you Popeye’s chicken.”

“You know why I’m going to do that?” Perry said. “Because I love y’all. You know why? Because you’ve got to get up and go to school in the morning. And you got to deal with your teachers. And you got to deal with homework. And then you got to deal with practice. And then you got to come home and do it all over again. It’s time for y’all just to be kids.”

The thoughtful video received over 2.4 million likes on TikTok.

“I wish my parents were like this,” a user wrote.

“I love my parents and I’m glad they were always around and they taught me well, but I do wish they understood what you understand,” another said.
