That's exactly what happened to this 43-year-old father, who was eager to present his 7-year-old adopted son, Kevin, to his family at his grandmother's birthday party. But when he found one of Kevin's handmade cards crumpled up and discarded, he couldn't contain his anger and stormed out of the party with his family. 😤🚪
