A Christmas gift took an unexpected turn after a three‑year‑old used his new toy drill for a purpose no parent could have predicted. The video, posted on Instagram by okie_mom_adventures, has gained more than 18,000 views for its hilarious and slightly alarming twist on festive excitement.

The child had just unwrapped the toy drill — a gift from Santa — while his mum was busy setting up the rest of the play tools. With her back turned, he proudly announced, “Hey mum, look at my booger.” When she turned around, she discovered he had used the drill to retrieve it straight from his nose.

Finding the moment too funny not to capture, she quickly began recording as her son beamed with innocent pride over his unconventional technique.

My 3 year old son had just received a toy drill as a gift, while I had my back turned trying to set up the rest of the tools, he said “hey mom look at my booger” and when I saw that he had retrieved the booger from his nose with a drill I thought it was so funny I had to record the moment.
