A mom has put her husband's parenting skills to the test by switching their daughter with another baby to see if he would notice.
Kat Stickler (who uses the handle @katstickler on TikTok) executed the prank by placing another person's baby in her daughter's stroller and rolling the child to husband Mike.
The TikTok began with Kat introducing viewers to her daughter, MK, and the mystery baby. She then placed MK's bow on the mystery baby's head to add to her husband's confusion.
Kat then secretly begins to film after taking the stroller into the living room and asks her husband to take out MK.
Watch the viral TikTok below:He agrees and then looks at the stroller, staring for a "hot minute," before he declares to his wife, "This is not our baby."
Mike then begins to panic about where MK actually is, but makes a point of cradling the mystery baby all the same so that they don't feel left out or abandoned.
He begins to panic more and more before Kat rushes in and explains that she switched the babies for a harmless prank, telling him that MK is actually outside with her friend Sharon, whose baby she borrowed.
Needless to say, he was overwhelmed with relief.
Unsurprisingly, the TikTok prank did not go unnoticed on the social media platform, and at the time of writing, it has been viewed over 11.9 million times and received thousands of comments.
Reacting to the footage, one TikTok user wrote: "I love that he was still so attentive to the baby while freaking out."
A second added: "Simultaneously has a heart attack and attends to his non-baby."
A third wrote: "The way he picks her up though and still cares is the sweetest."
A fourth added: "He noticed immediately. We stan an attentive Dad."
Meanwhile, a fifth wrote: "His reaction of 'this is not our baby' and picking her up at the same time was the bodily version of 'I'm a little lost but fair enough'."
