Watch the moment mum returns to her toddler son after leaving him for a minute and finds he’s EATEN her dad’s ASHES

A MUM has left people stunned after sharing the shocking moment she discovered her toddler son had EATEN her dad's ashes.

After popping out of the room for a split second, Tash returned to find a huge mess – over the lounge and her little boy.

And as she looked over to the side, she realised that the substance that was covering the surfaces and her son was actually her dead dad's ashes, which she had kept in a decorative pot on top of a chest of drawers.

Sharing a video of the moment she realised what had happened on TikTok, Tash could be heard saying: “Oh my God. When your son eats your dad.”

She then clarified that he'd eaten the ashes, as she cried: “My son has eaten my dad's ashes!”

She also showed the sofa, which was covered in the powder, as well as her little boy – who had them all round his face and mouth, as well as on his T-shirt.

However, he was understandably entirely unaware of the situation, while his mum scrambled with what she should do next.

Sharing the video, Tash used hashtags alongside it – namely #omg and #soneatsdadsashes.

The comments section was quickly filled with people poking fun at the unexpected situation, as one joked: “‘He lives in you' taken to a whole different level!”

“My son did this 17 years ago,” another added.

“I laughed and cried hysterically panicking that I had to HOOVER him up!!!”

“Exactly what I did,” Tash replied.

“Grandad for brekky,” a third laughed.

“No but for real are you ok?? Because I’d be TRAUMATISED!” someone else admitted, to which Tash said she'd “nearly” managed to calm down.

“I don’t think this is how reincarnation is supposed to work,” another giggled.

While someone else said: “He’s within your heart… and your son's digestive system!”

“Well now you can also say to him when he's older, ‘I can see a lot of your grandfather in you!'” someone else joked.

Speaking to Fabulous Online about the experience, Tash said her son is “absolutely fine”, as he “didn't consume much”.

However, she did admit it was a “mortifying experience” for her.

She also said in the comments section that her son had never taken any interest in the pot or its contents before, so she couldn't have predicted it would ever be a problem.
