<\/p>\nA dad was horrified when his daughter handed him an unusual Father's Day gift.<\/p>\n
Trent Howard, from Perth in Australia, received a DIY dice that was covered in messages aiming to cheer dads up. And, for an extra special touch, his six-year-old had carefully coloured in the illustrations.<\/p>\n
One side of the cube showed a picture of a frog saying "for the times when you need to jump to it", while another depicted a banana and was captioned "for the days when you have gone round the bend".<\/p>\n

Everything seemed very sweet until he flipped onto a side of the dice with a more morbid message. It featured an illustration of a bullet and read: "take when all else fails".<\/p>\n

Trent was disturbed by the dark joke, which alluded to suicide. He told 9News: "To create this, and distribute this, disgusting.<\/p>\n
"If you've had enough, shoot yourself', what else [could that be interpreted to] say. I have a weird sense of humour, [but] that's not part of any sense of humour to anybody."<\/p>\n
Trent's wife was equally unimpressed by the activity. She commented: "They wanted to be funny, that was my interpretation of what the teacher had said to me."<\/p>\n
"It wasn't funny. It's really not appropriate for kids to be given that kind of topic in a joking manner without any support around it."<\/p>\n
Following the dad's complaint, the school has apologised. The Department of Education also said the exercise wasn't "thought through" and "showed a serious lack in judgement".<\/p>\n
Trent added: "We need change everywhere. In this society. We have suicide in our families. It's not cool. It needs to stop."<\/p>\n
