A group of Ohio teachers got an appropriate gift for the holiday season when parents sent them wine bottles with a picture of their son.
Mary Sommers of Beavercreek, Ohio, felt that the teachers at Ascension School in Kettering deserved something rather special for educating her son, Jake.
‘How many coffee mugs does a teacher need,’ she said to the Dayton Daily News.
‘But who doesn’t need a glass of wine after teaching a kid like mine?’

Mary and her husband John gifted each teacher with a bottle of white wine with a personalized touch, using a friend’s printing company. ‘Our Child Might Be The Reason you Drink So Enjoy This Bottle On Us,’ said the bottles, along with a dopey school picture featuring Jake

‘Our Child Might Be The Reason you Drink So Enjoy This Bottle On Us,’ said the bottles, along with a dopey school picture featuring Jake.
The Sommers’s oldest son Daniel Joseph, a sophomore at Ohio State University, posted a picture of the bottles on his Twitter page, which quickly gained the attention of thousands.
‘My parents always get our elementary school teachers a present around Christmas. Typically something small like a candle or flower to say thank you,’ he said in the post that has been liked more than 45,000 times and has almost 8,000 retweets.
Their oldest son, Daniel Joseph, posted pictures of the wine bottles on Twitter and they quickly became viral
‘This year they got them bottles of wine & replaced the labels with their own with my brother on them… Happy holidays.’
And while Mary added that Jake was ‘that kid,’ she did advocate that the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree.
‘My four older siblings were good kids and it was hard to live up to that, so I didn’t try,’ the mother-of-three said.
‘(Jake) always has something to say. He’s that kid.’
Jake, an eighth grader, is completing his last year at Ascension, a school his sister Sarah also attended.
‘It is a farewell from my family,’ Daniel Joseph added.
Jake felt the gift was appropriate, as well.
He said: ‘I guess my teachers deserve it (the wine).’
