Mom Plays Hilarious Prank on Her Kid After She Wakes Up in the Dark From a Nap

It may only be February, but Lindsey Chastain just won our vote for mom of the year thanks to a video she posted back in December in which she pranks her daughter Lexi, who woke up disoriented from a long after-school nap. At the very start of the video you can tell Lexi is confused because it's dark out, and Chastain convinces her quite easily that it's morning and she needs to get ready for school.

"Where's your book bag . . . we've got to get you to school," the Georgia mom says behind the camera. Chastain continues to video Lexi as she gets ready — the poor girl starts straightening her hair and brushing her teeth — all the while reminding her pressingly that they need to leave. However, instead of ending the prank there and laughing about it at home with Lexi, Chastain brilliantly goes a step further and actually drives her daughter to school in the dark, laughing to herself in the car as Lexi walks up to the front doors.

A confused Lexi returns to the passenger side of the car a moment later to announce that the school's doors are locked and the front desk is empty, and Chastain lets the cat out of the bag through giggles once Lexi gets back into the car. "It's nighttime," she says, but Lexi isn't convinced at first. "You took a nap and you woke up. It's 6:11 at night."

Lexi's surprised reaction elicits more laughs from the funny mom, who posted the full video to Facebook with the caption, "When the nap was so good you think it's the next day when you wake up, so you start getting ready for school." The solid-gold video has since gone viral, for obvious reasons.
