Toddler Goes Viral After She Requests Coffee Maker Instructions As Her 'Story' For Nap Time

North Carolina au pair and TikToker Megan Mordaunt shared the hilariously cute video after her young charge requested the instruction manual for an iced coffee maker as her nap time story.

An au pair from North Carolina was in stitches after the three-year-old girl she looks after asked for a nap time story with a caffeinated twist.

Megan Mordaunt posted a hilarious TikTok video of her unconventional storytelling, with the little one nestled in her bed with pillows featuring the Disney princesses Ariel and Cinderella.


Instead of reading to her about how a mermaid found her prince or about a lost glass slipper being reunited with its rightful owner, Mordaunt read the instructions from an iced coffee maker manual to lull the girl to sleep.

And it was the toddler who insisted on the "story."

Here is the clip.

Mordaunt told People magazine:

"At first I could not stop laughing when she asked me but managed to calm down when she kept saying 'Meg Meg, read the story.'"

She recalled the moment they deviated from their daily routine.

"Every day when we’re getting ready for nap time, I let her grab two books from her bookshelf in her room for me to read to her."
"However, on this specific day, she clearly somehow remembered the iced coffee instructions manual she must have spotted lying on the kitchen counter while standing on her kitchen step ladder."
"She then beelined for the kitchen, grabbed it and handed it to me saying 'Meg, Meg read this one."

Mordaunt explained this was the first time the girl made such an odd story request, but admitted it wasn't surprising, given the child's "incredible imagination."

Said Mordaunt:

"She's a very intelligent child, although she is still too young for us to establish whether or not she is into mechanics or not."
"What we do know is she's super creative and she does and says the funniest things sometimes."

TikTokers agreed the child was hilarious.

In response to the video going viral, with over three million views, Mordaunt said it "blew me away," adding:

"I found it funny, which is why I posted it."
"Although just after I had posted I thought to myself 'I wonder if it’s just me who thinks this is funny,' "
"It was only when I posted it on my Instagram Story and received so many replies that I decided to post it on TikTok."

Sweet cold brew dreams, little one.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
