How trusting are you of your children with your phone?

Keith Stonehouse discovered this the hard way this past week after a string of odd deliveries repeatedly showed up on his doorstep one night.

"It was father and son time and we were watching TV, and Mason says, 'Dad, can I use your phone?'" he tells Today.com in an interview they did with the father. He added that his son, Mason, usually uses the phone to access an educational app.

"So I gave my phone and I said, 'You have 30 minutes.'"

Per Keith, the 30 minutes went by and he went to retrieve Mason for bed, and to his surprise, Mason didn't fight him on it.

"A 6-year-old going to bed is not normally an easy thing but he was surprisingly really good," Stonehouse said. "There was no fight, no 'I'm hungry' or making up stuff to stay up. He just went to bed, and I was like, 'Wow, this is amazing. I wish Mom was here to witness this.' And all of a sudden I hear the doorbell."

That's when things got weird. Quickly.

A woman leaves a large bag on the front porch, which Keith assumes is for his wife's wedding cake business. Nothing to see here, just a delivery for a topper or some other item used to make a cake.

Then, the pile-on begins.

"But then, the doorbell rings again and the lights come through the front window, and then it happens again and again and again. I am completely spooked."

So, what exactly was it that was showing up on his doorstep?

"It's five orders of 20-piece jumbo shrimp, a bunch of chicken sandwiches, chili cheese fries and ice cream and grape leaves and rice and more sandwiches, and I'm like, 'What is going on?."

Then, he receives a fraud alert from his bank, $439 worth of food from Happy's Pizza. And, despite this charge not making it through, an order for  $183 did. An attempt to cancel the orders was made, but it was too little too late. Keith was in too deep.

He finally puts it together and realizes that Mason was likely responsible for the insane amount of food showing up on his doorstep.

"I go up and I'm yelling at him, asking, 'Why did you do this?' and he's looking at me with just his eyes above his blanket," Stonehouse said.

However, Mason was a little more concerned about one of the orders that had yet to show up.

"Mason stops me mid-sentence and puts his hand out and says, 'Dad, stop. When are the pepperoni pizzas coming?'"

Keith couldn't help but laugh, despite the fact that Mason had just ordered $1000 of food that would likely not get eaten.

GrubHub decided to try and do right by Keith and offered to send him $1000 worth of GrubHub gift cards.

"We wanted to make things better for him and his family, so [sic] have offered to send him $1,000 worth of Grubhub gift cards," a spokesperson told Today.com.

Now, I'm not sure if I'd rather just be refunded. I think GrubHub knew what they were doing with that one.

At the end of the day, Mason was really just looking out for his dad.

"Mason just said something to me today that was kind of funny. He said, 'Well I got my dad ice cream because I know he loves ice cream and I know he has ice cream every night.'"

Now that's kind of adorable.

Obviously there are lessons to be learned on both parts here, but something tells me Mason's phone-time just got cut down considerably.
