Bay Area Woman Surprises Nephew With Limo Ride For His Birthday

A 10-year-old boy’s aunt surprised him with a limo ride as a memorable birthday gift.

Nita Fisher, 31, took to Twitter to share the unforgettable moment as she captured her nephew, Dante Johnson’s response since he’s never been inside of a limousine before. 

“My nephew said [he’s] never [seen] a limo in real life, so I surprised him [and] pulled up to his school in one for his birthday,” she

said on Twitter.

In the 50-second video, Johnson was captured outside of the Bessie Carmichael School in San Francisco when he was greeted by his aunt and grandmother, yelling, “What’s up?” 

The 10-year-old continued to approach the limo but paused for a few moments before realizing what was happening. 

“He was speechless,” Fisher told KTVU. “He couldn’t even find words, and that was why he had to walk off. He was in disbelief.”

“Happy Birthday,” they yelled.

Afterward, his aunt stated, “You know I do too much.”

“You thought I was at work? I was at work, but I had to leave early because it’s your birthday. You turned ten today!”

Fisher exclaimed, adding, “I had to come pick you up right!”

During the clip, the chauffeur could be seen opening the passenger door for the grateful little boy as he continued celebrating his birthday with his aunt. 

“This is wow. This is really happening,” he told her, declaring, “I’m just living my best life.”

While the clip amassed more than 2.1 million views on Twitter, internet users praised aunt Nita for doing something special for her nephew. 

“He’s going to remember that for the rest of his life. Giving a kid a great birthday has a last effect, especially because so many adults don’t celebrate their birthdays because they didn’t get anything as a kid,” one user wrote.

“The way this got me teary-eyed. Love seeing Black kids being loved and celebrated and spoiled. Happy birthday to your nephew, and you are such a cool aunt,” another user said.

The aunt also surprised her nephew with tickets to a WWE match to seal the deal.
