Kid Tells Dad Mom Is in the Room With Another Guyđđ
It all started on a quiet afternoonâone of those peaceful moments where nothing dramatic is supposed to happen. Dad was in the living room, minding his own business, halfway through a game on his phone, when their five-year-old son burst in like he had just uncovered the worldâs biggest secret. His hair was messy, his eyes wide, and his little chest was heaving like he had sprinted across the whole house.
âDAD!â he shouted. âMOM IS IN THE ROOM WITH ANOTHER GUY!â
The phone slipped out of Dadâs hands. His heart nearly stopped. âAnother what!?â he shouted, leaping off the couch so fast he almost tripped over his own feet.
Their son nodded dramatically, pointing down the hallway like a tiny detective delivering breaking news. âAnother guy,â he repeated, dead serious. âHeâs BIG too.â
Dadâs brain went into full panic mode. Who? How? When? Why? The door had been locked, the house was quiet, and everything felt completely normal just seconds ago. Now, apparently, there was a grown man in his bedroom?
He stormed down the hallway, ready for whatever insanity had just landed in his home. He flung the bedroom door open so hard it bounced off the wall.
There she wasâMomâsitting on the floor.
And across from her?
A giant⌠cardboard box.
A box Dad had completely forgotten he ordered.
Inside the box was a tall, half-assembled mannequin for her clothing project.
The âother guy.â
Mom whipped her head around, eyes wide. âWhy are you barging in likeâ?â
Dad froze, staring at the plastic head, the empty fake eyes, the stiff white arms.
Meanwhile, their son proudly stepped beside him. âSee? I told you! Thatâs the other guy!â
Mom sighed, rubbing her forehead. âSweetheart, itâs not a real guy. Itâs for my store display.â
Dad, still recovering from the emotional heart attack of the century, put his hands on his knees and tried to breathe. âBuddy⌠you canât just say stuff like that.â
âBut he is a guy,â the kid argued. âHe has a head! And arms! And Mom told him he looks handsome!â
Dad stared at Mom.
Mom stared back, embarrassed.
The mannequin stared into their souls.
Dad finally laughedâbecause what else can you do when your child nearly causes a family meltdown over a plastic man?
One thing was certain: from now on, the kid needed full explanations before delivering any more âbreaking news.â
