This video is bound to make any parent cringe.
Hey, fellow parents! Let’s chat about the ultimate messy nightmare when it comes to our little ones. Think blowout diapers or even blueberry vomit are the worst? Think again! The real culprit? It’s glitter. As one clever comedian aptly put it, glitter is the herpes of the craft world—and it’s a parent’s greatest nemesis. Just take a look at this amusing (and somewhat horrifying) video shared by a dad named Mike Lewis, showcasing his daughter, Lily, who found herself in a sparkly situation.
Despite being warned to steer clear of the glitter, curious toddlers like her just can’t resist the temptation. Lily took a glitter bath, and her dad managed to capture the chaos on video, allowing us all to join in on the hilarity.
Mike shared, “There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.” While I usually champion sparkly things, my inner parent is sympathizing with him. That bathroom is now officially cursed—every visitor will leave looking like they just stepped out of a fairy tale. And that’s exactly the look Lily was aiming for.
“I’ve got beautiful glitter on!” she exclaims, while her dad can’t help but chuckle as his wife gently scolds Lily for her mischievous glitter escapade. Lily, a bit exasperated, insists, “I just wanted to put glitter on my face!” It appears this little one got way more than she bargained for.
As Mike reminds her to check her reflection, Lily insists her intention was merely to glam up her face—not the entire bathroom floor. On the day of the big game, he tells her this isn’t exactly “Super Bowl party attire” and labels her as “too bedazzled.” She adorably sneezes glitter in response, proving his point.
“Look at you, shiny like a fairy!” Mike observes, to which Lily gives a side-eye as if to say, “Thanks for stating the obvious, Dad!” This is why leaving glitter within reach of kids is a definite no-no. But let’s be real; kids will always find a way to get into trouble. The best we can do is capture these moments on video for a good laugh.
Good luck with the clean-up, Mike and his wife! At least they’ll all be sparkling and magical for months to come.
