Tom Brady’s Family Photo Was Inadvertently Sent to a Stranger & He Was Quick To Play the Blame Game
One mom of four was in for a major surprise when she went to have a family photo developed at CVS this week. Instead of receiving the sweet picture of her kids dressed in their beloved San Francisco 49ers gear, she was given a photo of Tom Brady and his kids Jack, 16, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11 in their Patriots gear.
What?!
Katie Tonges — one of the kids in the original photo — posted a now-viral TikTok showing the intended picture, the picture her family was sent, and a screenshot from her “Fam Bam” group chat. At the bottom was the picture of the Bradys and a message from “Daddyo.”
“Mom sent in a picture of you kids to CVS to give grandma for Christmas. We just received them today and instead of you guys we get Tom Brady and his kids,” he said before a bunch of laughing emojis and question marks.
“We can do a trade if you have our photo…??” Tonges captioned her post, calling out Brady on TikTok.
The twice-retired quarterback quickly responded to the video and had no problem jokingly pointing fingers.
“My mom must have been printing some photos out in San Francisco ????,” he said.
Because suuure, it muuust have been mom. It’s OK if you were going old school and printing out photos, Tom! And in SanFran, no less! Brady’s parents, Tom Sr. and Galynn reportedly live in San Mateo, CA, which is about 30-40 mins outside San Francisco. So it’s not entirely impossible that Mama Brady really did mix things up.
Honestly, though, we’d like to think it was just the weirdest glitch in the CVS system. The pharmacy responded by saying, “GMOAT (Greatest Mom of All Time) ???? ❤️,” because apparently they’re Team Blame Mom too. *Sigh*
Tonges replied to Brady saying they can do a photo swap the next time the former Patriots quarterback is in town. And NFL fans from all over the country are eating this hilarious mistake up.
“The best part is that you’re in 49s merch ????,” one comment said. Because we love a trolling twist of fate whereby the Tonges family ends up with the most Patriots-y photo and Brady’s mom (hopefully!) ends up with their San Francisco photo.
