Boy colludes with Mom to win 'Who knows mommy best?' and it's a laugh riot

Family game nights can be an excellent way to strengthen bonds and spend quality time together. It helps to bridge generational gaps, improve relationship dynamics, promote inclusivity and create long-lasting memories.  Trivia games in particular can enhance ordinary family evenings into extraordinary experiences of candid moments, friendly competition and collective discoveries. For instance, take the wholesome moment shared by content creator Madison Mealy (@madisonmealy) on Instagram. The video perfectly illustrates the magic of such family games, reflecting their ability to foster togetherness. In a hilarious twist, Mealy staged a trivia challenge between her husband, Blake and their son, Dane – with a mischievous secret up her sleeve.

The game was extremely simple: Who knows Mommy the best? But it had a brilliant catch – Mealy had already shared the correct answers with her son beforehand without her dear husband's knowledge. As the wholesome video began, the woman set the stage, explaining the rules to the father-son duo, with on-screen text that read, “Asking my husband and son questions about myself...but already told my son the answers.” The first question, "What's my favorite movie?" was a no-brainer for Mealy's son who without a second thought, confidently said, "Spirit!" On the other hand, Blake looked utterly perplexed and seemed unsure whether to be impressed or bewildered. He had no idea how his son had answered so quickly—while he could not even guess.

Moving on, Mealy asked about her favorite color. Blake, assuming he could win this point, guessed "Green." But once again, their son stepped in with the precise answer and announced, "Sage green." It was at this point that Mealy's husband turned toward their son, suspecting something fishy. Meanwhile, the little boy, brimming with confidence, couldn’t resist teasing his father and asked, “Don’t you know your wife?” Each correct answer by the young child seemed more dubious than the last and Blake could no longer hold back his curiosity as he asked, "How do you know all these answers?" 

Taken aback by Daddy dearest's question, the innocent soul could no longer keep the secret and without hesitation, blurted out, "Because Mom did not tell me!" The confession hung in the air for a beat before Mealy and Blake broke into a fit of laughter. With a dramatic sigh, the latter turned away with a frown and said, “I am mad at you!” as he walked out of the frame.

The video quickly gained popularity with over 20 million views online and an amazing response from the netizens. Several people reacted to the funny video as well. For instance, @patticakewagner wrote, "'Sage green' and 'mom did not tell me' made me fall off my chair." @tiffanymillington wrote, "Hahahha 'Don’t you know your wife?' had me dying!" Similarly, @lolo_webb commented, "This is adorable!!! Hahaha, the way he looks so stressed when he says stroganoff." @golfbrat0369 wrote, "Kids are hilarious when they try not to rat the other person out, by ratting the other person out." @caseyacandee wrote, "The look on his face when Dane says 'sage green.'" @miamibeachbarbie wrote, "This is so cute. The dad saying play with me so innocently and she saying ew!"

In just a few minutes, Mealy transformed a simple game into a heartwarming memory that captures the essence of family - love, surprise and shared laughter. So, the next time you plan a family game night, remember: sometimes the best moments aren't about winning, but about the unexpected joy of simply being together.
