An 11-year-old who thought he was headed to the dentist suddenly lit up and jumped into his mom's arms when she instead surprised him with tickets to his first-ever Mexico soccer game that day. Aiden Mireles, from Olive Branch, Mississippi, has been a huge soccer fan for years, his mom, Cindy, 30, said. When his interest in the sport first started, Aiden had to wait patiently to get on a team because of COVID cancellations, but now, having started playing competitive games, Aiden practices three times a week, has games twice a week, and travels out of town for tournaments. Given how much her son loves the sport – and Mexico's international team – Cindy said she knew exactly what to do while scrolling through Facebook and seeing an advertisement for the Mexico vs. South Korea game that was set to take place in Nashville, Tennessee. Having purchased tickets, Cindy said the only excuse she could think of for a surprise was a dental appointment, as Aiden had been waiting to have two teeth removed. On September 9, having even secretly recorded her son brushing his teeth, Cindy got in the car with Aiden and started to make the three-hour trip to the stadium. An hour into the journey, Aiden started to ask if they were almost at the dentist, and so Cindy knew she had to break the exciting news. Having pulled over – and with a video rolling on the dashboard – Cindy presented her son with a Mexico jersey, which saw Aiden's face immediately light up as he knew where he was headed. The 11-year-old then joyously jumped into his mother's arms for an emotional hug.
