Son Puts Locks on Refrigerator and Drives Mom Crazy With Riddles

A mischievous son drove his mother crazy at their home in Rochester, Minnesota, on December 30, after he put two locks around the fridge handles and made her crack riddles to locate the keys.

Heidi Sonju told Storyful that her 21-year-old son Joshua was a “full-on prankster” who loved driving her crazy with his riddles.

In the amusing footage, recorded by Sonju’s daughter, the mom can be seen calling Joshua to ask for the keys, but her son gives her a riddle and hangs up on her. The game goes on after Sonju realizes he didn’t put one, but two locks on the fridge handles.

“Joshua drives me crazy with his riddles,” she said. “I try to get him back but I fail.”

Sonju regularly uploads her son’s mischief and the adventures that ensue to her TikTok account, where this video went viral. Credit: Heidi Sonju via Storyful
