If you’ve ever faced the nightly struggle of getting a toddler to sleep, you’ll definitely relate to this comedian’s hilarious take on the situation. “What’s inside a volcano?” “Can we talk about butts?” “I had a booger but I took it out and just wanted to share.” If you’re a parent of a young child, you’ve likely encountered these kinds of questions while trying to usher them into dreamland. One comedian’s viral video captures this familiar scenario perfectly, leaving parents everywhere both amused and understood.
Bedtime Shenanigans
In the “Bedtime Shenanigans” video by comic Casey Thompson, he portrays the exasperated parent dealing with the countless excuses from his toddler self. When asked why he’s not asleep, the reply is a classic: “I can’t sleep.” Despite it being way past bedtime, the questioning never ceases, leading to gems like “I was scared, but now I’m not” and even pondering political events. The line about a sock itching is particularly relatable; if something’s bothering your little one, be it an uncomfortable sock or a stuffy nose, you can bet they’ll let you know about it—repeatedly.
The Tween Phase
While the toddler years can be challenging, they often give way to new adventures during the tween phase, which can be equally exhausting. Just think of comedian Alex Reed‘s take on middle schoolers—both stages come with their own unique set of trials. At least we can take comfort in knowing that countless parents are sharing the same experiences, finding solace in videos that resonate with our nightly struggles. So, when we find ourselves tucking in our little ones for what feels like the hundredth time in one night, or navigating the drama of a pre-teen, we can reminisce about these moments with a chuckle (and perhaps a glass of wine).
