“That Won’t Happen”: Prankster Son’s Invitation to Dog’s Baptism Stresses Parents

• A man made a phone call with his mother and father to prank them by inviting them to his dog's baptism
• While his father firmly believed that the baptism wouldn't happen, his mother thought he was going mad
• Social media users laughed in the comment section and loved that the son could joke with his parents

A young man thought it would be fun to prank his parents by inviting them to his dog's baptism, a Christian sacrament that uses water to symbolise the washing away of original sins. His mother and father's reaction to the outlandish invitation amused the online audience.

Facebook content sharer John-Wayne Hans shared the video on 17 November, 2025, which showed an Afrikaner man sitting on a couch while on the phone with his parents. He first spoke to his father, telling him that the baptism would be on a Sunday at noon. He took it a comical step further and asked his dad if he could get the pastor at his grandmother's church to perform the holy act.

The father responded to his son:

"That won't happen. It's a dog!"

The son reminded his father that there were a variety of animals on Noah's Ark, so baptising a dog wasn't far-fetched in his eyes. In complete disbelief, the father called the mother to join the phone call, and she also thought that her son was losing the plot. The young man eventually revealed to his parents that he was pulling their legs.
