Last month, TikTok user @mountaindewbarrymore asked people to share the unsupervised things they did as children that could have killed them:
In her video, which has over 2 million views, she explained how she used to try to breathe underwater. And, it turns out, a lot of people did some very unsafe things in the bathtub:
Anyway, user @vududoll999 recently saw the video and told a story about how she and her siblings used to put their youngest brother in the dryer AND START IT because he was the favorite:
Her video also went viral, causing the original video to start trending again.
