Social media users shared their thoughts in a thread of comments:

@Møntanä🌟♱ shared the father’s reasoning:

“Because you weren’t listening when he was calling you.”

@Mr Armstrong was floored:

“The fact that you all know why he is taking them kills me.”

@katl3ho_ explained:

“For sure, you heard him calling you, and you thought it was voices in your head.”

@I_am_Nalzy✨ commented:

“My guy probably called you 15 times, and because you’re busy with TikTok, he solved the problem.”

@Nthabie 🩷✝️| MaMokoena shared:

“You must either turn the volume down or push one side to the back a bit so you can hear when they talk to you. Don’t you know parents hate headphones? They’ll even take your phone.”
