In a recent TikTok video, mother Crystal Starnes (@mrs.starnes22) shared a surprising incident involving her 5-year-old son, Hudson, that quickly went viral.
The video, which has garnered significant attention, details how Hudson’s kindergarten teacher discovered a condom in his pocket during school hours.
This Mom is going viral for the hilarious story about her 5-year-old son discovering a condom in his pocket
Crystal recounted receiving a text from Hudson’s teacher, stating, “Good morning! Let me first say Hudson is NOT in trouble over this lol! He came up to me before recess and pulled this out of his pocket asking what this was.”
The teacher chose not to explain the item’s nature to Hudson, instead informing Crystal about the discovery.
Perplexed by the situation, Crystal explained that she and her husband have been together for seven years and have no use for condoms at home, especially after she had her tubes tied following Hudson’s birth.
Crystal was baffled as to how the condom ended up in her son’s possession
After some thought, Crystal realized that Hudson was wearing a new pair of jeans purchased from Walmart just a week prior.
She speculated that the condom might have been left in the pocket by someone else before they bought the jeans.
Reflecting on the incident, Crystal said, “I had no idea where this condom came from.”
Her son was completely unaware of the item’s significance and had an interesting theory about what it was
When asked about it, he mentioned that he found it in his pocket and thought it was a glow stick.
Crystal decided to share the story on TikTok, where it quickly gained traction, amassing 50,000 likes within an hour.
The majority of reactions were humorous and supportive, with many parents sharing similar anecdotes.
One commenter joked, “Kids always find a way to keep us on our toes!” Another added, “This is hilarious! Definitely a story for the books.”
However, some speculated about potential infidelity, which Crystal addressed directly, clarifying the situation and emphasizing the innocence of the incident.
She added: “Kids are wild. You never know what to expect.”
