Hi, hi, all of us chew down?
A Colorado mother was shocked to discover her sons may have eaten their grandfather’s ashes, as detailed in a hilariously macabre TikTok video with more than 2.4 million views.
“The boys got PawPaw!” Monica Long exclaimed in the clip as she described their alleged grandeurwithout bumpy morning
The single mother of three claimed she left her two little ones, ages 3 and 2, alone for a moment in early January so she could use the bathroom while preparing for a birthday party, People magazine reported .
The Coloradan was only there for a few minutes, but when he returned, he saw the boys playing in what looked like white dirt. During the four minutes she had been gone, the two Hellions had managed to smear soot all over their faces, bodies, and the floor.
“I was thinking, ‘Where did this dirt come from?'” recalled Long, who vacuumed up the mess.
Then, days later, she discovered the empty container that had housed their grandfather’s ashes, and the horrible truth dawned on her—the “dirt” was his cremated remains.
“They took it and threw it out all over my carpet,” wailed the distraught mother in the TikTok video while holding the cross-shaped urn. “And I didn’t realize it was PawPaw and I just vacuumed it up.”
She even speculated that the little horrors may have engaged in cannibalism after death, claiming: “They might have eaten some of it because [one of them] he had his hat in his mouth. Jesus Christ. F—k!”
The scene evoked the similar horror of the cat using Grandma’s ashes as a litter box in the 2000 Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro comedy Meet the Parents. (Maybe “Eat Your Parents,” in this case.)
As for how her children got to grace, Long said, “PawPaw was on a shelf, out of their reach, but they’re climbers. They went up their own little road and got it.”
She speculated that the tiny ash borers then used their mouths to remove the cap.
“They’re just getting into everything these days,” said the upset mother, who said she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
In contrast, “PawPaw” would have seen the humor in desecrating her sons’ remains, Long claimed.
“Would he have found this story funny? Absolutely,” the parent said in a follow-up video. “He would definitely have gotten a kick out of the whole ordeal.”
TikTok commenters also saw the funny side, with one viewer exclaiming: “I’m sorry, but the hilarious laugh I let out when you zoomed in on what was left of my legs.”
Another wrote, “I don’t know pawpaw but I bet he would find this funny.”
“Pawpaw is somewhere laughing his tail off,” said a third. “And he is not in ashes. He lives on in those who knew and loved him. And now us because you shared it with all of us. Sprinkle that bucket of dust somewhere nice.”
Long’s father, who passed away in 2020, also had “strange stories from being a principal,” she said.
“He was a Vietnam War veteran and a school teacher for many, many years,” Long recalled, adding that he was also a “follower of Jesus.”
Thankfully, this isn’t even the last remains of her late father; the rest are buried in a veterans cemetery in Texas, she told People.
Long said that when she alerted his wife, MawMaw, to what had happened, she assured her, “‘Don’t worry — we have more PawPaws.'”
