A Kenyan pastor became the center of a viral online moment after his children surprised him with an unexpected birthday prank involving a splash of water.

As the pastor was about to leave his home, his three children—two daughters and a son—quietly prepared their plan. The son filled a basin with water, one daughter armed herself with a jug, and the other held a camera ready to capture the moment.

Stepping out of his car and speaking to the camera, the pastor was caught off guard when his children tiptoed up and drenched him, immediately breaking into a lively rendition of "Happy Birthday." Soaked and shocked, he dashed back indoors while his children continued singing.

From inside, the children called him to return and continue the celebration, joking about not wasting the water. The pastor hesitated but eventually peeked back toward the door, amused but reluctant to join the festivities again. His wife, who had been recording the event, playfully scolded the children for their prank.

Addressing viewers with humor, the pastor said, "Everybody that is watching, just know that this is family and see what they have done to me."
