AUSTIN (KXAN) — A two-year-old Texas boy has already mastered the art of ordering food from a phone — complete with tipping his driver.

Barrett Golden, a Kingsville boy, ordered a whopping 31 McDonald’s cheeseburgers using his mom’s DoorDash app, according to a Facebook post from his mom, Kelsey.

As a child (2rd grade??) I thought it would be great to order a bunch of stuff out of the SEARS catalog. I picked out a WHOLE bunch of stuff (I recall a football in there) and called the phone number.

In my deepest “Dad Voice” that I could muster I gave the lady all of the numbers that I had circled. I don’t recall much after that. Perhaps I just said “Put it on my account” using my dad’s name.

I don’t recall getting in trouble over it. Maybe I did.

I DO know that I never got any of it!

Lesson learned.
Turn your phone in airplane mode before giving it to a toddler.

Barrett is trying to buck that awful stereotype. :)

If they were not McD cheeseburgers, I would have eventually worked my way through them.

I’d have tipped a lot less.

If I was crafty I would have gotten a new football! Thinking about it now I’m guessing the lady that took my order just ignored it and didn’t bother calling my parents back - hence why I don’t recall getting in trouble.

THAT time anyway!

Question: what’s worse than 31 cold soggy McDonalds cheese burgers?

Answer: Biden in the White House.

Both will make you sick and neither one is good for you.

Taking your comparison further.

A Conservative will go through the thinking about getting 31 free burgers, and figure out that it is going to cost a lot of money to somebody - like them, the tax payer, they won’t be good by the time you eat them, etc.

A Democrat thinks “31 Cheese Burgers! YAY!!!”

BTW - I was at some diner the other month and you could buy a hamburger with 10 pounds of meat and if you ate it all in a certain amount of time you got a cash price.

After getting over the size of it (based on photos) my next thought was “Yuck. Imagine how cold that burger is going to be after an hour when you reach the time limit.”

$75 for bread and fake meat? Grounded for life.

I’m guessing they could tell your were faking it, or they verified it with Dad. Probably better than most companies would do.

Better lesson is to not even give give a toddler a phone to pacify him in the first place.

I saw a toddler the other day pitch a screaming fit at Target....he wanted mom’s phone. She gave it to him and he started tapping away. Gave me the creeps.

Why were the cheeseburgers free? Why didn’t mom cancel the order when she got the delay notification?
