Kids march to the beat of their own drums. They genuinely do not care what your intentions are. Chances are, at one point during raising them, you’ll experience them exercising their independence. And while sometimes their quest for independence will be frustrating, a lot of times It’ll be just downright hilarious.
One UK mom had the scare (then the laugh) of her life while she was sleeping. At around 5:30 a.m., mom Kenzie was woken up by the sound of loud chomping from somewhere in her room.
“I woke up at 5:30 a.m. to a loud noise — I thought it was an animal at first,” Kenzie told Newsweek.
However, it took her all but a few seconds to realize that “animal” was her 3-year-old toddler Ava-Mae. After realizing she was in no immediate danger, the mom asked her toddler repeatedly what she was up to. Then, she noticed the little one sitting by her bed, snacking on popcorn while watching an iPad.

The mom has racked up over 3 million views on this video with parents relating to her so hard.
One viewer joked: “Hahaha she’s barely awake too bless her 🤣🤣 love this! Mine would do the same.”
“Queen behavior,” wrote another fan. “She realized it was early, decided not to wake you and get her show on and grabbed a snack, legend in the making.”
“We love a self sufficient toddler, but popcorn is the bane of my existence,” quipped another.
It’s important to note that popcorn for anyone under the aged of 5 is not recommended. The popcorn poses a choking hazard parents need to be aware of. Clearly this little girl is OK and the mom was asleep and wasn’t actually complicit in her eating it, but everyone should exercise extreme cause when it comes to toddlers and popcorn.
The mom told Newsweek that she confiscated the popcorn after she stopped recording the video.
“Me, my 4-year-old old son and [Ava Mae] just started laughing. I did take them away from her as she had eaten half the bag already,” the mom added.
