Hypothetical situation: you're a kid and your mom has just discovered that you've demolished the house with a huge bag of flour. Does she a) make a YouTube video of her reaction, b) scream at the top of her lungs until the neighbors show up or c) send you to your room and ground you for eternity?
Most people would typically respond with either a B or C -- but one mother decided to go with an A, which has the whole World Wide Web raising its eyebrows.
As of yesterday, there's been a YouTube video circulating around the web of a mother who's (allegedly) just discovered that her two little boys have trashed the house with a 5lb bag of flour.
And just as quickly, there's been speculation that the video is a fraud because the mom's reaction is simply too mild-mannered for someone who's just come to the realization that her house is a big fat mess because of her two boys, who don't seem to be too worried about the repercussions of what they just did. (Any little kid who's ruined anything in their house will tell you that there will be a crazy time-out session, if not a spanking.)
What do you have to say about the video? Is it a real reaction -- or an absolute fake?

+9The flour on the pictures, window sills and on top of the TV convinced me. I guess mom has a whole lot of time on her hands, she's gonna need it to clean up HER mess.
children of that age have a play arena no bigger than about a square metre.. she should have read some 'child psychology books' before doing this...
Silly woman...
Two.. Way too much mess for two kids to make
Three.. Where were the adults in this house that these kids were left alone to have made such a mess
Enough said
On the bright side, you can view this as an educational video, of why you don't let your 4 year old cut and package your cocaine. They just don't do a very good job.
A typical todder would have a trail of flour from the kitchen to the living room, then a pile in the floor where they are playing, and maybe some hand prints here and there. Also, they had 1 bag of flour... There's half that on the chair alone.
Also, even if they were throwing it, the placing of the flour on the sills of the windows and picture frames looks too generous and even precise. I doubt children that young can even throw flour that high and land enough of it so perfectly on the edges of the objects.
I don't think someone would say "Oh I'm gonna be sick" or "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh" repeatedly like that, and need I even mention the "snowman puked all over my living room" line?? This isn't a natural reaction AT ALL.
Another thing - why record the whole thing allowing your kids to keep on playing with it rather than say "STOP THAT!" to them?
Also, is it just me or do the children saying "what's mommy?" sounds rehearsed?
To me this looks like another video that tried to get viral - and thanks to SodaHead, it has been helped right along. This is more like a FAIL gone viral.
Watch it again, the one little boy says: "What happened, mommy?" (2:10-2:13)
(Some a truly ... devious .. /creative/ ... indeed)
Believe me .. one knows screaming does absolutely nothing ..
Sending the child to their room is a reward (trust me on this .. you really need to have the kiddies HELP clean up their mess for the lesson to be learned)
I'd go with .. believable .. because taking the PICTURES ..
To use when the kiddies become TEENAGERS ..
To have them AVAILABLE and SHOW them to the Teens' Dates ...
IS the most priceless bit of /mommy revenge/ that can be made!
YES .. they CAN lift 5 lb bags of flour .. my two at 2-3 yrs old could definitely help me by carrying into the house bits of the groceries I purchased (and yes, it included bags of sugar and flour too) ..
YES .. they can get things down withOUT destroying the bags ..
YES .. they CAN carry the things into the living room from the Kitchen ..
and yes, it is quite aggravating indeed .. but you have to laugh and take the camera .. take the images .. and use them in the future against the children when they are FULLY Adult and grown .. and then complain to YOU .. the Grandparent about the Antics of THEIR children ..
ALWAYS a great way to say .. "I TOLD YOU SO!" .. by showing them the pics of the antics they did as toddlers too!
