In today’s world, everything is documented on the internet. Social media is packed with videos of people doing all sorts of things—some funny, some dangerous, and some just plain ridiculous. People often jump to conclusions based on first impressions without really understanding the situation. That’s why some videos now come with disclaimers to explain things aren’t as bad as they might seem.
Recently, a woman almost got into trouble when she uploaded a video of her child in a car. She wrote that she had left her kid in the car while she was out shopping at Target. Anyone who’s been to Target knows how easy it is to lose track of time in there. You might go in for one item but end up spending hours browsing. Time flies inside, but outside, it runs at its usual pace.
So, when the woman wrote that her baby was in the car and she was at Target, she quickly added a disclaimer saying the baby was completely fine. Needless to say, the post went viral, quickly gathering a million views and close to a thousand comments.
Baby Left in Car—Or Is It Her Husband?
The video shows a handwritten sign taped to a car’s windshield. The sign reads, “My baby is OK. He has his snacks and a drink! I’m in Target. Be back soon!” At first glance, this looks like a disaster waiting to happen. We’ve all heard stories about babies left in hot cars and the tragic results. People were ready to slam the woman for her negligence, but then things took a surprising turn.
When the camera pans to the “baby” in the car, it turns out to be the woman’s husband. Engle, the woman who posted the video, wrote, “Please no judgment. He is safe & well.” Her husband was just chilling in the car, eating snacks while his wife shopped—a perfect setup.
Once the confusion was cleared, viewers saw the humor in the situation. One woman commented, “For a second I was about to get really upset … I was not expecting that.” Another said, “My heart dropped and then I LMAO.” A third user added, “It’s so much easier to leave them in the car.” Many viewers couldn’t stop laughing, finding the video genuinely funny.
Engle, the poster, knows what her followers like. With 114k followers on Instagram, she often posts humorous skits about family life, parenting, and marriage, which many people find relatable and entertaining. She’s a mother of three, so she understands the issues and makes them fun. Sometimes she includes her husband, which adds even more humor to the videos.
