Ah, young love. It is something most of us have experienced firsthand, and there is no denying its unstoppable power. It can also result in some pretty stupid decision making, an example of which a man on Twitter decided to document in great detail for the entire world to see. And let me tell you, it’s one heck of a ride.
If during your teenage years, you’ve ever had a “special friend” sleepover at your house and then was forced to somehow extricate them from that house without your parents knowing about it (it’s much more complicated than one might imagine), then this story is for you. Hold onto your seat. And also, if you’re a parent, maybe take it as a precautionary tale for what signs to look out for in your own house. Those no-good kids are always trying to pull a fast one, and you must always be vigilant.
It all began with a single Tweet by an amused Stepdad. He set up a pretty hilarious scene, one which was ripe with intrigue and suspense.
So, my stepson has a girl upstairs in his room that stayed the night and my wife doesn't know yet. I'm curious on how he plans to smuggle her out now that the whole family is awake...

...and now we wait.
People asking for updates: she's still here, the wife has gone into full Saturday house cleaning mode. Still hasn't noticed the cute white shoes by the door. This could be his chance while she's distracted. 🤷🏻♂️
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
In her determination to rid their home of any trace of dirt, this man’s wife was blissfully unaware of the nefarious acts that took place under her very own roof.
A sole set of sneakers were the only piece of (glaring) evidence.
No one in this house would have all white shoes... pic.twitter.com/u3naaNnkU3
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
Because, apparently, their house wasn’t normally one to include a pair of shoes so blindingly white.
Seriously, how does she keep them so pristine?!
The teller of this tale seemed shocked at how oblivious his wife remained.
A note on the shoe thing.. there is a side door attached to the kitchen literally right at the bottom of the stairs. But... Those damn shoes are on the opposite side of the house.
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
Those shoes should have been a blinding beacon of sneaky behavior, but instead, they remained undisturbed.
This kid’s time is running out.
Obviously, when this woman cleans, she cleans hard.
11:00am central standard time... My wife (amazing wife) cleaning so hard core she doesn't even notice me standing behind her to take this pic... Music cranked all the way. Now's the chance.. will he see the opportunity?? pic.twitter.com/GqamyqbYmI
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
So hard, that he somehow managed to snap a photo of her without her knowledge as she goes full-tilt on whatever horrors lie at the bottom of the bathroom tub.
I admire her determination.
Some people had less than positive things to say about how the stepdad was handling the situation.
Help the kid out? That would just be reinforcing this behavior.
Plus, he finds it far too entertaining to intervene.
Things start heating up as more and more time goes by.
And the wife is done in the bathroom and has moved onto the kitchen... The kitchen is at the bottom of the stairs! Ooof
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
It’s starting to seem pretty grim for these two lovebirds since she’s now positioned directly in front of their only source of escape.
You can’t help but feel a bit bad for them.
Since these updates were happening in real time, Twitter lost its collective mind.
The tension rises. 😱 pic.twitter.com/iQcK75uUQS
— Rod Uding (@RoughDesigning) January 19, 2019
Seriously, I should have grabbed a bag of popcorn before I started reading this thread.
Although I probably would have choked on a kernel from all the gasping.
The stepdad also starts feeling some sympathy for our poor Juliet.
I hear definite moving around from his room right above me. It's 10:39 and this poor girl hasn't had a chance pee this morning.
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
As someone who pees about 50 times a day, having to wait several hours to go to the bathroom sounds downright torturous.
I would be checking out the window situation at this point.
Since the responses had been mixed, the stepdad decides to throw up a quick poll.
So who we rooting for??
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
In a near landslide victory, most people are rooting for these two crazy kids.
I have to say, I would have been one of the people voting for Mama Bear, but that’s just me.
The vote turned out to be quite divisive.
My bf’s vote vs mine 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/zMRoN9gUEH
— Liz. (@LizRdz13) January 20, 2019
This Twitter user showed how she voted for Mama Bear while her boyfriend voted for Young Love.
These are the kind of disagreements that can tear couples apart forever.
This could be the break they’ve been waiting for.
One more hour of holding your pee?!
Is this worth all of this stress and abdominal pain?
One concerned follower offered up this helpful solution.
If all else fails, this is our last resort option... pic.twitter.com/Xf1F7i3FoG
— Ashley with an A (@ItsMeAshleyWee) January 19, 2019
Because this idea clearly worked out well for this person.
People can land on their heads on concrete and be fine, right?
At one point, this user was so caught up in the story that she feared for their lives.
Do we need to do a well check? Did the wife kill everyone?
— ssfrank212 (@ssfrank212) January 19, 2019
Okay, so it would probably be a pretty big overreaction for Mama Bear to kill everyone, but we get her concern.
And honestly, I’d be pretty ticked off if all of this was happening in my own house without my knowledge.
Stepdad didn’t do much to alleviate her anxiety.
Lol still waiting... I'm just watching lol
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
He claimed that he was still “waiting” and “watching” at that point, meaning he wasn’t entirely sure if the result would be a killing spree or not.
Honestly, this thread has already lived up to the hype.
Will Mama Bear discover this secret stowaway?
I'm afraid this thread isn't going to live up to the hype. You know, like a Ben Affleck Miramax movie 🤷🏻♂️ I'm waiting just like the rest of you
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
Or will he somehow be able to get her out of the house without her ever being the wiser?
It seems like too much to hope for at this point.
This user lamented about how hard it was to wait to hear the outcome of this riveting tale.
Seriously, I haven’t watched a full commercial in years.
How do you expect me to wait for over an hour to find out how this thing ends?!
Finally, a glimmer of light appears at the end of the tunnel.
In a moment that seems like it would change everything, the girl did come downstairs and used the bathroom.
Did Mama Bear even see her? Is it all over?!
It seems, by some miracle, that it’s not.
I don't even know if the wife saw her come downstairs to use the bathroom. She's said nothing and it's not like I can ask... Yet
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
Either she somehow didn’t see her at all in her manic cleaning spree, or she did see her but wrote it off as just a friendly hangout session.
These kids are beyond lucky.
Oh, man. The side-eye.
Omg this kid!! NONCHALANT AF he casually strolls downstairs... AND grabbed those shoes and went back upstairs. Side eyeing me the whole way past. I shot him a little wink 😉. They gonna hit that side door. bet.
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
After removing the damning evidence, the kids make the final plans for their daring escape.
It seems as if they might pull this thing off after all.
SUCCESS!
Well that's a wrap folks! Mama just went to the bedroom to lay down and read for a bit. He's got a good 2-3 hour window... Looks like young love finds a way, for now! 💏
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
Although I was pulling for Mama Bear, the fact that this kid was able to keep his nighttime activities from his oblivious Mother is something to be admired.
It is every high schooler’s dream come true.
Oh, I could definitely use a drink right about now.
And closure... Sure enough, hit the side door and they gone. I don't know about you but need a drink after that suspense. Thanks for following along! That was amazing.
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
I don’t know about you, but my palms were sweating the entire time I was reading that.
The twists and turns! The suspense! It was almost Shakespearean.
It’s no surprise that this Twitter story quickly became insanely popular.
So this is where everyone else drops their SoundCloud or GoFundMe links but I don't have either of those so fuck it, let's try this... Drop YOUR links in reply to this update. If you get famous one day I'd like tickets to the show! So much love guys!! Thank you!!! 👊💚💨😘😍

After all, a lot of people probably read that and directly related to the experience of the 18-year-old son, but perhaps their experiences ended with a less-than-positive outcome.
Some Twitter users were not having a few aspects of stepdad’s reporting.
For example, the fact that he just watched and took pictures while his wife cleaned herself into a nervous breakdown.
But he responded that, while he may not help out with cleaning, he is a VIP in the kitchen.
Gotta love a man who cooks!
This Twitter user suggested a way for stepdad to win some major points with his son.
Just put a ladder under his bedroom window. You’ll be his hero.
— Portland Dad Guy (@davidjohnsonpdx) January 19, 2019
Sure, because Mama Bear would totally see a ladder outside her house leading to her 18-year-old son’s window and think to herself, “That looks normal. I’m sure there’s no funny business going on there whatsoever.”
Fortunately, the stepdad didn’t have that idea.
Because forcing a girl to exit a house through a window and out onto a ladder in -4 weather is just plain cruel.
It's -4 degrees out... Not happening
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
This guy seems like a real softie.
Some people felt downright inspired by this captivating tale.
If this young man can set his mind to something and accomplish his dreams, maybe there is hope for the rest of us after all.
This is the series I needed to hear this morning. 12/10 on audible. I will be recommending my friends to this incredible read. pic.twitter.com/lO9JBEQd0K

One user seemed to think that Mama Bear was, in fact, aware of the situation the entire time.
I relate to this statement.
My house is never as clean as it is after a particularly brutal fight with my husband.
NO WOMAN FURIOUSLY CLEANS ANY BATHROOM UNLESS SHE'S ALREADY TICKED OFF ABOUT SOMETHING, and is working off some stress. SHE KNOWS.
— 6catsNcounting (@HeroineRipley) January 19, 2019
Angrily cleaning is the most thorough cleaning.
But stepdad shut down that theory immediately.
It appears that she was indeed cleaning the way she always does on the weekends and that his Stepson was able to pull off the most impressive con that the household had ever seen.
False, my wife scrubs this house ceiling to floor every weekend. I got lucky like that
— This Is Stupid AF ☢ (@DropsNoPanties) January 19, 2019
And he’s probably pretty darn happy with himself right about now.
Although, now that this has gone viral, Mama Bear is pretty much guaranteed to know what happened at this point, so let’s all assume that he’s in for quite the earful.
When you fly too close to the son, you’re bound to get burned.
I think it’s important to remember the one major takeaway from this story, though.
If you don’t want your Mom to find out that you have a girl over, take her blindingly white shoes up with you when you hide out in your bedroom.
It’s just common sense, kids.
