Cabra teen's hilarious response after waking up from operation

Here's the moment a Dublin teenager wakes up from surgery thinking the tin man from the Wizard of Oz is offering him a cup of tea.

15-year-old Ethan, from Cabra, was in surgery last Sunday and his mam tells us he's recovering well, however, she said she had to send us this video to immortalise this moment - and mortify ethan.

Bridge between Portmarnock and Malahide was Ireland's most-struck by trucks in 2018 

The video shows a confused looking Ethan as he explains to his mam how the tin man is "still talking to him."

He said: "Stop, I'm trying to go to sleep.

Ethan is aghast that the tin man is smiling and winking at him post surgery. (Natasha Boobey)

Brilliant video of girl 'escalator surfing' at Dublin Airport is going insanely viral 

"He's asking me what age I am and how many sugars I take in my tea."

As his mam reassures him that it is him who's talking and he should try and sleep, he tells her that he told the tin man that he's 15 and "I only drink black tea with no sugars."

But the tin man isn't finished yet, a worried Ethan tells his mam that he's "winking and smiling at me".
