TikToker jiffysauresrex shared the first chapter of this tale on May 5, as she begun by saying “as a boy-mom I’ve learned to accept some things: my house will always be loud and messy, my boys can turn anything into a competition and tape measures will always go missing.”

While it just seemed initially like a case of ‘boys will be boys’, the concerned mom revealed the unique turn in the tale: “What I cannot wrap my mind around is why my favorite kitchen tongs, the ones I use for salad, are in my son’s shower.”

“I’m thinking maybe that it’s like the soap gets all willy nilly and them tongs can help pick it up. I don’t know what they’re been used for. I have no clue” the TikToker added.
