One of the best Twitter threads we've read in a long time.

An American man has gone viral after he documented the hilarious scenario of his step-son trying to sneak a girl out of the house without his mother's knowledge. "Tricky-D" knew that his step-son had brought a girl back the night before after spotting an unfamiliar pair of white trainers by the front door the next morning. Fortunately for his step-son, his mum hadn't noticed and being a good sport, his step-dad chose not to reveal his secret.

So, my stepson has a girl upstairs in his room that stayed the night and my wife doesn't know yet. I'm curious on how he plans to smuggle her out now that the whole family is awake...

The tweet garnered serious traction and people were soon begging to know what happened next because well...haven't we all been there?

People asking for updates: she's still here, the wife has gone into full Saturday house cleaning mode. Still hasn't noticed the cute white shoes by the door. This could be his chance while she's distracted. ??‍♂️

Indeed it seemed like the white trainers would give the game away and the problem needed to be dealt with:

No one in this house would have all white shoes... pic.twitter.com/u3naaNnkU3

A note on the shoe thing.. there is a side door attached to the kitchen literally right at the bottom of the stairs. But... Those damn shoes are on the opposite side of the house.

Luckily, his stepson's mum was preoccupied, which opened up a window of opportunity:

It looked tense for a while, but the step-son had the support of the masses on his side:

And the wife is done in the bathroom and has moved onto the kitchen... The kitchen is at the bottom of the stairs! Ooof

We read on with bated breath as the final sequence of events unfolded:

I think they might be waiting it out. The wife usually lays down and reads after lunch, especially after cleaning her ass off all morning. Could he be waiting for that?? Can she hold her pee another hour or so?? I have no idea what they thinking up there ??‍♂️

OMG OMG OHHHH MY GAWDDDDDDD. SHE CAME DOWN TO USE THE BATHROOM! IT'S ONE OF HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS! See... Mom might believe it's just a friendly sleepover, she was lucky enough to sleep through the fuck fest above our heads at 4am.

Omg this kid!! NONCHALANT AF he casually strolls downstairs... AND grabbed those shoes and went back upstairs. Side eyeing me the whole way past. I shot him a little wink ?. They gonna hit that side door. bet.

And the winner was...

Well that's a wrap folks! Mama just went to the bedroom to lay down and read for a bit. He's got a good 2-3 hour window... Looks like young love finds a way, for now! ?
