Going shopping with teenage children as a Black motherâ isnât always a walk in the park, and this Tales From TikTok story paints a vivid picture of the experience. Shared on the @khaoticgang5x account, managed by a mom and her three sons, the video, posted April 24, perfectly encapsulates the exasperation budget-conscious moms often feel while navigating the aisles with their begging chirren.
The clip starts with the woman delving into her Black mama shopping schpiel, firmly warning her sons not to ask for any unnecessary items during their trip to the store.
âDonât put your hands on shit. Just go in the store, get the dog food that we are here to get, and thatâs it,â the mom in the video hilariously said before she scolded her son for wearing a ski mask.
âTake that motherfâker off. Youâre gonna make these people think we trying to rob âem!â
Before entering the store, the penny-conscious mother reminded her sons, again, that she âainât got no money for nothing extra today. Nothing!â
The hilarity reached new heights as the family stepped into the store. Disregarding their motherâs instructions, her teenage sons eagerly started to inquire if they could buy everything except the dog food they initially came for. In one memorable moment, one of the teens even suggested buying a pet chicken, prompting a stern response from their mother.
âWe donât need no goddamn chicken, câmon!â
The camera shifted to capture her other son misbehaving in the store. The boy was squeezing a toy rubber chicken that emitted a loud, shrill noise, which was more than enough to test his motherâs patience to the limit.
âThis is why I donât take yâall motherfâkers nowhere!â she shouted before the video amusingly ended with the mom swatting away her teenage sons after they asked her to buy a bag of cinnamon cashews.
