Son's practical joke on his mother

An American mother was shocked after being unusually greeted by her son and husband at the airport after a business trip.

Barbara Nielsen's son, Damien, welcomed her home from a business trip by holding up a sign that read "welcome home from prison Mom".

Ms Nielsen had just got off the plane from a business trip for the manufacturing company she works for and was waiting at the baggage claim when she was greeted by her family and the embarrassing sign. 

But even she could see the funny side in the practical joke, posting a picture of the sign on Facebook.
