"Decided to surprise my mother with new couches today since it's Black Friday. I've never seen her so happy," the intriguing caption read.
While it was uplifting and alludes to his mother welling up with emotion upon receiving her grand gift, there aren't any pictures capturing the moment. Also, as some Twitter users pointed out, the date on the receipt was deliberately blocked out by the user.
