When it comes to taking care of kids, moms and dads are on equal playing fields. There is no such thing as “babysitting” your own children. When one parent leaves, you’re simply the only one in charge. That’s all there is to it. Be that as it may, sometimes one parent might have a better handle on things in the house than the other. Kids are smart, and they 100% use that to their advantage if they can. For one family, a simple game of hide-and-seek while mom was away turned into a viral moment enjoyed by millions.

It Started as Father/Daughter Hide-And-Seek
Tiffnay Helzer shared the hilarious throwback video on Instagram. Her then 3-year-old daughter, Olivia, was playing hide-and-seek with her dad, Ricky, while Tiffany ran errands. While she was gone, the mom received a text from her husband saying Olivia had locked him in the pantry. Tiffany filmed herself talking to Olivia, then found Ricky sitting on the pantry floor, laughing and having a snack.
When Tiffany opens the door, Ricky looks up at her, laughing and says, “When hide-and-seek goes wrong.”
People adored this little game of hide-and-seek.
“The fact he was locked in the best room in the house chillen…. I’m convinced dad setup Olivia,” someone joked.
Others thought about what would have happened to Ricky in the good old days.
“When having your phone while playing with child was essential imagine he didn’t have his phone and mom was gone got 2+ hours,” someone wrote.
Others thought the pantry looked like a great place to hang out.
“The most peace bro has had in a long time,” a comment joked.
At least he had a sense of humor about the entire ordeal. Poor Olivia started crying when she got busted by mom, but it didn’t seem like either parent really cared much. It’s obviously one of those family stories that will be told for generations.
