Cheeky 6-yr-old girl hangs a 'no boys allowed' sign on her room door — along with some impossible rules

For many, having a space to call their own is a simple yet profound joy. One six-year-old, however, seems to have grasped this concept early—and made it clear to her dad in the most amusing way. Dyllon MacDougall, known as @dyllonmacdougall on TikTok, shared a snapshot of his daughter’s hilariously stern bedroom sign, complete with innocent misspellings and a firm message: Dad, stay out.

From the look of the sign, it was clear MacDougall’s daughter wasn’t in the mood to chat. “I think I upset my 6-year-old daughter,” confirmed the video creator from Detroit. He mentioned in the caption that the kid had locked herself in his bedroom, making the situation even more complex. The man must have needed access to his private space for something, but he simply could not do so for obvious reasons.

The handwritten sign, scrawled on white paper and taped to MacDougall’s bedroom door, left no room for negotiation. Alongside barring her dad, his daughter added an extra rule: “No boys alawd,” a misspelling that only added to the charm. She tried her best to sound stern, but her tough tone was hilariously undercut by her playful spelling errors.

“I mene it dad,” she added, along with a drawing of a symbol banning men’s entry to her private space. Another such message directed to her dad said, “You are crasey.” “Do not come in,” it reiterated, warning the dad who was amazed upon seeing his daughter’s creativity. The daughter decided to not allow her dad into his own room after an argument broke out between the two. 

The little girl showed no urgency to reconcile, happily enjoying the room to herself. The 10-second TikTok clip of her handwritten sign quickly went viral, with viewers loving her antics. Among them, @zombiefwog jokingly pointed out that the man’s daughter was “out for blood.” @carrillo_valeska60 simply told the left-alone dad: “You heard the lady,” suggesting that his daughter’s words were final. @ggioblack hilariously assumed that it was time for the dad to “stop drinking.” Others advised him to “sleep on the couch” instead, and they quite literally “mene” it.

Kids often find creative ways to express their frustration with parents. In one instance, a 3-year-old girl was upset with her mom after she was denied being allowed to watch a movie. So she did what toddlers do best- she decided to throw a "tantrum" to teach her mom a lesson. However, her "tantrum" left the internet in splits. The little girl scrunched up her face the best she could and decided to throw insults at her mum. But since the toddler knew none, the only thing she managed was, "You're the best mom!"
