Having children can be the most joyous experience people go through. They can bring endless amounts of love, joy and fun.
It goes without saying, however, that it also comes with a lot of sweat, blood, tears and pain. Being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs there is.
Constantly running around after your small children and trying to keep up with the endless amounts of energy they have can wreak havoc on your body.
For many parents, their backs take the brunt of work from constantly picking up children for comforting and keeping them out of trouble.
Even though some parents can afford to go get fancy massages to release the tension and pain caused from having little ones running around, the rest need to find easy, affordable ways to get relief.
One father came up with a genius way to trick his son into giving him a full back massage.
The best part about it is his son thinks he is just having fun and playing with his trains.
Ken Kawamoto is a software engineer for Google who has a son obsessed with trains and cars.
His cleverly-devised plan included creating a t-shirt with train tracks printed on the back.
Ken would lay on the floor and allow his son to roll his trains on the tracks printed on the t-shirt. In turn, Mr. Kawamoto would get a free back massage.
Kawamoto went to Twitter and uploaded a video showing the clever shirt in action. The video quickly went viral and was shared over one million times.
以前作った「寝転がってるだけで子供がマッサージしたくなるTシャツ」をきれいに作り直して出品した：https://t.co/o4QXllvo8h 背中にプラレール幅対応のレールが描いてあるので、子供が大喜びでプラレールを走らせてくれます。気持ちいいです。 pic.twitter.com/5wZ8poE5hJ

If you are a parent who thinks they could benefit from this t-shirt, Mr. Kawamoto is selling the t-shirt online so that other parents may find a way to trick their kids into a free back massage in the name of fun.
