So quick, get him something really good that will realize him think you're a good son or daughter again. You know what you should do for him? Go weed the side yard.

So that would be the surprise! Before you go into the other room and he quietly makes you feel like a terrible, lazy bankruptcy of a human being, go put on those ratty work gloves that smell like paint and pull those curse at weeds out of that damn side yard. He'll be so shocked and appreciative that he'll forget all about the huge scratch on the side of the car you unconditionally thought he wouldn't notice.
