Family feuds can be sparked by the most unexpected things, like a toy tractor, for example! A 25-year-old woman thought she had found the perfect gift for her 3-year-old nephew at a yard sale – a power wheels John Deere tractor that needed some fixing. With her boyfriend’s help, they got it working and were excited to see the little boy’s reaction. However, when it was time for the nephew to go home, a disagreement arose that left everyone questioning who was in the wrong.
