Kids Wreak Havoc on Home With Bag of Flour

No worries mom,some day these little angels will be wonderful adults who you will no longer be responsible for.Also kudos on hanging on to your temper.On the positive side,they are adorable and when they realized that you were not pleased they tried to clean up by wiping the flour back and forth (deeper into the lovely wood floor). :)

There is no way these children could have done this much of a mess with one bag of flourr. Take another look at the size of these children and where the flour reached. Noway this wass a staged u tube video.

When my older brother and I were about a year or so older than the kids in this video are, we watched my dad spread gypsum on our lawn. Gypsum is like white chalk dust, and you apply it to certain kinds of soil to change the chemistry to make the soil better for growing things. My brother and I asked dad why he was putting this dusty stuff on the lawn. “To make the grass grow,” he told us.

Big bro and I had lately heard mom and dad talking about how they would need a bigger car soon (my mom was expecting), so we got a bright idea: if putting gypsum on the lawn made it grow, why not put it on the car? So we went into the garage, where about half of a 25 pound bag of gypsum was left, and we went out to the car in the front driveway, and by gosh by golly, we threw gypsum all over our family car!

My dad said that when he saw what we had done, his initial reaction was to want to blister our little behinds. But he said we were so proud of what we’d done, how thorough we’d been about putting gypsum all over the car, that in the end he just sent us in to our mother so he could start to wash the car.

Before he washed the car, he took a picture of the mess we’d made. Well, that was about 50 years ago; and just recently, as I was going through the things in my dad’s condo after he passed away, I came across that picture. Brought a smile to my face: how big bro and I fertilized the family car to make it grow bigger had been a favorite story of my father’s all our lives.

I agree with ME – There is not way that they kids did this – even when trying to expain what happened they appear practiced – What parent would run and get a video camera while the kids were still inhaling the dust from the flour, which can cause illness and possible death. Even the way it is on the furniture – very careful and neat, meant to touch as much furniture as possible. There is no way these kids could cover this much ground with flour.

Bull****…. You’d have to be in the can for at least 30 minutes and your kids must be bloody Picasso’s to get it that evenly spread…. THEN, and I’m sorry, you yourself would have to be a combo of Mother Theresa/ Steven Spielberg, to have both the restraint to not scream your fricken head off and also the wherewithall to go and grab a camera…. duh….. stage Mother me thinks.

Man you people are a bunch of negative nancys! Its Flour for gods sake! 10 lb of flour can do a lot of damage, she walked around in it, me yeah i would video tape it also, to keep it to show them later on what they did. My 2 yr old granddaughter in a matter of minutes while I was in the bathroom, had taken her diaper off, dumped out a bottle of vinegar and was talking to someone on my cellphone by the time I was out of the bathroom. Now go on and tell me what a horrible grandma I am…

Did you notice the one little guy is in a jumpsuit of stripes! Hopefully that is not what is in store for his future behind bars! ;) LOL!

To those who say there is “no way” two little boys with a bag of flour could do this- Have you ever given a little boy unrestricted access to something like that? My middle son, when he was around 2, took two bottles of Nestle’s Quick, one chocolate and one strawberry, and proceeded to squirt them ALL OVER the carpet in my MIL’s living room. Just the carpet, not furniture or tile, but the two flavors were evenly distributed throughout. ALL OVER. This was done over the course of probably 10 minutes of unsupervision.

that can’t happen ,It just cant I dont know why they would fake that its just a big mess she will have to clean up layter.

The thing I noticed is how neatly the bag of flour is opened. There is no way that a kid that small opened that bag of flour. A 1 and 3 year old if they even could have opened that bag would have torn it open. Plus she said it was in the kitchen then the majority of the mess would have been in the kitchen not on the walls and furniture. Fake

seriously, people think two little kids did this? NO WAY~ Crazy mom staged this the “pour lines” on the couch is a dead give a way to the situation. It was poured by someone taller than the couch! look at it! If kids did it, they would not have went around pouring it over the top of the couches! It would be one big pile. There are also no FEET marks where the little kids would have had to climb up on the furniture? Did they cover their tracks? NO. They also are not reacting as if they did a

Maybe their house is going into foreclosure and this is how they are going to leave it!!!

I agree with others who have commented….this is SO fake. There’s way too much flour spread way too far for a one and three year old to do this. On the top on the doors and the pictures? Really! C’mon….this was staged.

From the way the flour was so uniformly spread throughout the house, to the mother’s bad acting, and the child’s “uh, oh!” it is OBVIOUS to anyone with even a teensy bit of intellect that this was STAGED beyond a doubt. Just another pathetic and incompetent mother trying to get her fifteen minutes of fame. Hopefully we will not see another episode of “balloon boy” play out in the media with these people, but unfortunately this appears to be exactly the direction they are headed.

For all those who think this is fake I’m here to tell you, it happens. Years ago we were putting our infant daughter to bed upstairs when we noticed this.. odor.. familiar, not unpleasant, but not what we should have been able to smell all the way upstairs. Sure enough, in the two minutes we were upstairs, big brother, age 5, had decided to see what would happen if he shook an entire extra large size container of talcum powder ALL OVER. I’ll tell you what happened. We have hardwood floors and stairs. We nearly killed ourselves hurrying down to see what he was up to now. It was on every piece of furniture in the front hallway, living and dining rooms, covering the couch, chairs, you name it, it was powdered. After much vacuuming and mopping up we thought we had it all – until the furnace came on and that’s when the talc that had drifted down the floor registers rose like the ghost of shenanigans past, for weeks. That was almost a quarter century ago ut when I saw this video I sent the link to the guilty party. Kids can and do get into everything, in a split second.

26 YEARS AGO MY 2 YEAR TWINS DUSTED MY KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM WITH FLOUR.
OH YES THEY CAN GET FLOUR IN PLACES YOU COULDN’T REACH. ON TOP ON THE REFRIGERATOR AND EVERY SURFACE BETWEEN THE FLOOR AND THE CEILING. AS FOR MY REACTION IF I HAD A VIDEO CAMERA I WOULD HAVE RECORDED THE MESS. WHEN YOU DEAL WITH KID MESSES YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR OR YOU’LL NEVER SURVIVE. PS IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES BEFORE I LEARNED NOT TO LEAVE FLOUR ON THE COUNTER.

Not sure why everyone is claiming it’s fake, who honestly cares? Did she make money off this? Doubt it…. and if you recall, she states they were “throwing it in the air” I know kids that can throw stuff pretty high… Also they were pushing it around on the floor, so that should be enough to tell why there aren’t footprints everywhere. Flour is like dust, it could cover an entire room easily. And who said the bag wasn’t opened before they got it? Honestly, I don’t care if it’s real or fake, and I’m not sure why anyone else does either.

This was a staged event without a doubt. What mother gets off the pot with camcorder in hand? What a total freak. She should be ashamed of herself. Among the other problems other persons have listed as to why this was fake, there is also the fact that a three year old would not have the hand strength needed to tear through the bag of flour, let alone have had the dexterity to open the bag perfectly in the way it was designed to be opened.

how did the those small fingers open the flour so perfectly?

Anyone experienced in child development would know: this video was staged by an adult.

Fake….You can see pour marks all over the couches. Those kids couldnt have made those. Why do people do stuff like this? She must be a stay at home mom…very bored….I wouldnt call her crazy, just slightly mentally undeveloped. I feel sorry for her husband….

STAGED!!! How did those little guys get the bag open since it is not torn? She just brought it home from the grocery store so it would have been sealed. How did those boys get a layer of flour on top of the door jamb? Also, she had flour all over her pants after just going to get her camera. Bad editing lady!! What a bunch of BS!

You can tell its fake; from several clues. Mom would have had to have discovered the mess and had a camera at her immediate availability and made the filming her first priority…doubtful. She never raises her voice or even asks them for an explanation….Im sorry, no one would stay calm if they discovered a mess like that in their living room with expensive furnitre and belongings. The kids dont flinch and continue to play….that shows right there that their lack of reaction shows they know moms cool with it; and in on it. Any child…especially a child raised in a nice home would know that once mom discovered it..that what they did is wrong and presumably would be petrifed of moms reaction…they continue to play. The couch has flour neatly spilled and cascading down…no foot prints and the boys never touch the furniture..they are only on the floor. They covered too much ground in too short of a time. The camera at times is set right on the boys as if she is a professional movie maker…a person doing random filiming wouldnt focus on the boys holding the bag of flour they would be more haphazzard with the filiming. She says she just got home from shopping….shes barefoot, and the one boy looks like hes wearing pajamas. I guess what concerns me is the exploitation of her children to gain attention; and lying in general. Have we gone this far that we need to fabricate stories at the expense of our children? What would she gain…a new livingroom set?? She already had nice furniture. She needs a psych eval….today.

I instantly thought that this was fake because of the placement on couches. Interesting though how all those who have actually had this happen to them agree that it is real.

Can someone explain the following to me:

She says she got back from grocery shopping and ran to use the bathroom, leaving a 5-pound bag of flour within reach of her 3-year-old and 1-year-old sons, and came out to see her house trashed.

How did those kids do that much damage while she was just going to the bathroom? FAKE!

It must have been a LONG bathroom break….I know a bag of flour can go a long way (be grateful it wasn’t sugar)…however it would take quite some time to make this much of a mess…Sadly…Cleaning up would take even longer. Hope these boys learned how to vacuum and or a duster!!.
OMGosh

FAKE! I am a mother, so I totally get wanting to show off the cute things that my kids do. But this was so obviously staged that it came across as a straight-to-video “Because I Said So” knockoff. The mom doesn’t seem surprised at all when she (finally) emerges from the bathroom to find her home evenly littered with white powder (a 5-lb bag of flour is quite a lot for any 3-year-old to toss around). Instead of taking the “remaining flour” away from the boys, she grabbed her video camera to document the whole, shocking scene for the world to see. How pathetic!
