Little man must have been craving a Happy Meal! In an Aug. 1, 2023, TikTok video, creator Marissa Jalea (@mamarissax2) got the scare of a lifetime after realizing that her toddler went to McDonald’s by himself.
“Y'ALL I GENUINELY HAVE NEVER FELT SO SICK and SCARED! We already had the basement door switched out so we can lock it at night, but NOW I need something for the front door! You never think it can happen to you until it does!! Y'all know I got this house baby-proofed as much as possible but OMG,” the video caption reads.
As the video starts, Marissa tells the scary story.
“Y’all don’t look at me, I just woke up. I had to run out of my front door because I woke up and this little boy was not here,” Marissa says while pointing to her son in his car seat. “He was not in the house. He was not in the basement. He was not in the front yard or the backyard. He was not around the block.”
“This little boy put his shoes on, and woke up from a nap… I was sleeping on my floor… woke up from a nap, put his shoes on, and walked to McDonald’s,” Marissa continues. “Now I’m not going to disclose how far that is because it is kind of giving away my location, but rather, that doesn’t matter.”
“He woke up, put his shoes on, and left out of the front door,” Marissa says as her son coos in the background.
Marissa then shows her son a video of the police in front of the McDonald’s location and asks him if he remembers the incident.
“He was just vibing in the playland with some kids,” the text on the video reads.
“So yeah, I just woke up and had a f------ heart attack realizing I had one of my two children for I don’t know what time he left the house,” Marissa says. “We all were sleeping. I was sleeping on the floor, and we were all knocked out. And he woke up, put his shoes on, and went to McDonald’s.”
“It’s not funny but it’s hilarious because his fat a-- went to McDonald’s,” Marissa continues. “In all seriousness, I’ve never been that f------ scared in my life. I woke up and I said, ‘LayLay, where is brother?' She said, ‘He went outside.’”
