A family in the US who got an octopus for their nine year old son's birthday say it's upended their life, after it gave birth to 50 babies. 9-year-old Cal, was given the octopus in October and named it Terrance - believing it to be a male. The family says the sea creature turned out to be larger than expected, and say many water tanks have now taken over their bathroom.

To discuss this, and another awful gifts, Seán is joined by Newstalk's Henry McKean.
