“My son loves water and was being fussy before a nap, so [my mom] decided to let him ‘wash dishes’ to help calm him down,” Tillery tells Fox News.
“It was a great idea because he loved it,” she laughed.
In the video, Tillery’s son can be seen laying on his stomach, in front of his grandmother’s sink, holding a soapy spoon and splashing around in a pot of water.
“My mom got him to work already,” Tillery wrote in an on-screen caption, adding a cry-laugh emoji.
Footage of the funny moment has since been viewed over 800,000 times on Twitter as of Monday afternoon.
