Lord have mercy, because these parents showed none!
On Christmas morning, Kansas City teen Jorji Kellogg raced to the tree, overjoyed to see the small, seemingly unexciting envelope she’d been hoping so dearly for.
She opened it and scanned through her parent’s message, which at first glance appeared to confirm her wildest dreams: two tickets to Lorde at the Sprint Center!
Lorde have mercy! On Christmas, two parents concocted a devious plan to trick their daughter into thinking they’d bought her the Lorde tickets she’d asked for
But then she looked a little closer, slightly confused as to why her parents had penned such a weirdly spiritual message to accompany tickets to see a popstar.
After reading the first sentence aloud, her giddy excitement vanished instantly, replaced with blood-curdling anger.
Hadn’t she been clear enough? Two tickets to Lorde, New Zealand-born songstress behind hits such as Green Light, and card-holding member of Taylor Swift’s ‘squad.’
The day has arrived! On Christmas morning, Jorji Kellogg raced to the Christmas tree, overjoyed to see the small, seemingly unexciting envelope she’d been hoping so dearly for

‘Enjoy Pastor Joel Osteen at the Sprint Centre! Love Dad + Ma.’

Yes! She opened it and scanned through her parent’s message, which at first glance appeared to confirm her wildest dreams: two tickets to Lorde at the Sprint Center!
Wait a sec! But then she looked a little closer, slightly confused as to why her parents had penned such a weirdly spiritual message to accompany tickets to see a popstar
‘AEG Presents A Night With Our Lord and Saviour Joel Osteen,’ it read in big bold letters.
And while the Televangelist’s sermons are great, Jorji was hoping to spend time with the Lorde who interpretive-danced at the VMAs, not the one who died for her sins.
Oh dear! ‘Jorji, Dad and I are so proud and happy that you want to grow your faith and spend time with the Lord,’ the handwritten Christmas card read
Pranked! ‘Enjoy Pastor Joel Osteen at the Sprint Centre! Love Dad + Ma’
