Children push boundaries - it is how they learn about the world. However, that comes with much stress for parents, just like this momma in the video.

TikTok user, @johnbeyond, shared the video showing the mom’s spidey reflexes. The kid was so casual about walking up to the pull, fully dressed and ready to walk right on in.

South African toddler caught playing on top of the fridge by mother: “But how did you get up there?”

In related news, Briefly News reported that some people are either born with mad skills or have to google for help. There is no doubt that this toddler is talented.

In a video posted on Twitter recently, the boy's bemused mother found him playing on top of the fridge with her Tupperware containers. While he was making his way down, the mother asked who helped him up there in the first place.

If you thought his climbing was impressive, wait until you see how he makes his way down the fridge. Firefighters everywhere would be impressed. One can't help but wonder if he was up there looking for Cremora to make a cup of tea. Even toddlers know that it's not inside, it's on top.
