‘Best gift ever!’ Christopher Meloni given a hysterical framed tweet about his public parenting fail from 2007 from daughter Sophia

There are some criminals even Detective Elliot Stabler to control.

Christopher Meloni, 60, shared a snap of the hilarious belated Father’s Day gift given to him by his daughter Sophia, 20, on Sunday.

The gift was clearly worth the wait as the Law & Order star declared the framed tweet about a 2007 parenting fail the ‘best gift ever.’  

Too funny! Christopher Meloni, 60, shared a snap of the hilarious belated Father’s Day gift given to him by his daughter Sophia, 20, of a framed tweet of his 2007 parenting fail

‘Belated Fathers Day gift from @sophiaemeloni,’ he penned with the hashtag ‘#BestGiftEver.’

Sophia, one of the SVU actor’s two children, posed for a photo with her pop holding up the gift – a framed Twitter exchange about Meloni. 

Author Rebecca Makkhai recently asked followers to send her their ‘very best’ celebrity sightings and she got a doozy about the TV detective.  

‘I saw Chris Meloni, one of the toughest tough guys on television, failing to control two toddlers at a brunch at Columbus Circle circa 2007,’ responded film critic Matt Zoller Seitz.

Jokes! Sophia printed and framed a tweet about her dad not being able to 'control' his toddlers back in 2007 and for good measure, added a snap of her younger brother from when they were little

Sophia captured the amazing exchange and had it printed and framed. For good measure, she added a blurb at the bottom that read ‘The toddlers in question?’ with a cut out photo of she and her younger brother from when they were little.

Meloni shares Sophia and 17-year-old Dante whom he shares with his wife Sherman Williams.
