WINCHESTER, England, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- A 7-year-old English boy gave three teenage carolers $180 in cash as a tip without permission, his father says.
Howard Davis of Andover said his son, Andrew, apparently wanted to give the three singers a gift for their holiday spirit and gave them a pile of cash sitting on a kitchen table without his approval, the Daily Mail reported Friday.
"Apparently there were three teenage lads at the door singing 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas' ... and he went to find some money," Davis said of the recent incident.
"I'd left the 120 pounds ($180) on the kitchen table to pay for a child minder and he must have just picked it up and given it to them."
Davis is hoping the singers recognize their one song was not worth the cash payment and return the overly generous tip, the Mail reported.
"I know it's the season of goodwill but no one is that generous," Andrew's father said.
