Shawn Johnson & Andrew East Served the Best Revenge to Friends Who Gifted Their Son Jett a Recorder

There’s an unwritten code of conduct among mom and dad friends. Such as don’t discipline someone else’s kid. Don’t bring a sick kid to a playdate. Don’t judge the perpetual rotation of athleisure. Oh — and we didn’t think we would have to get this specific — but don’t cut someone else’s kid’s hair on a whim.

Well, Shawn Johnson and Andrew East’s supposed friends broke the cardinal rule among parents. It pains us to tell you this as much as it pained us to hear it. Literally.

The retired football player posted a video on Instagram (viewers beware!) of him and his wife looking confused at each other and shaking their heads at the camera. “Our ‘friends’ gifted our kids a recorder…” it said over the footage.

The video then cuts to their son Jett, 2 blowing into the shrieking tube of terror, holding onto it with a death grip and throwing up a stiff arm, unwilling to let his big sister Drew, 3 take a turn. He blows into it with no rhyme or reason (ya know, as one mercilessly does with a recorder) while stumbling around, bumping into a couch but not letting that interfere with his murderous melody.

And to those who think we’re being dramatic, be grateful you’ve never been around a kid with one of those mass-produced torture devices.

We then see YouTuber Mallory Ervin walking into her living room in shock. And what does it say then?
