(NBC News) — A North Carolina couple woke up on Christmas morning to what they described as a “terrifying” scene: Their 3-year-old loudly requesting a pair of scissors.
Scott and Katie’s Reintgen’s toddler secured an early preview to Christmas by waking up at 3 a.m. to unwrap his entire family’s presents.
“The 3-year-old had found his Spiderman web shooters and so he wanted scissors to cut them out,” Scott Reintgen, who works as a science fiction and fantasy author, told NBC News in a phone interview Tuesday morning.
The couple has three children, ages 6, 3 and 1, and Katie Reintgen said her 3-year-old son had unwrapped “literally everything, from the tiniest eraser to the biggest box.” The gifts had taken hours to wrap the night before, the couple said.
