Someone called the police on a 'homeless man with a baby.' Turns out he's just a very tired dad.

The father of four is using it as a teachable moment.

When you're in the throes of parenting a newborn, there's not much room for glamour. You spend your days exhausted and looking like a haphazardly thrown together preschool art project because your nights are filled with feedings and diaper changes. Being able to take a shower feels like a spa day, especially if you have other small children who need your attention. A California dad of four knows this dance of exhaustion all too well, but he never expected that looking like a tired parent would result in having the police called on him.

That's right, someone called the police on him for looking as if he rolled out of bed and grabbed the closet clothes he could find. Chapman Hamborg was taking his newborn for a walk when one of his neighbors called the police on him reporting that he was a homeless man that had stolen a baby. The dad recorded the unbelievable interaction with the police who thought they had a kidnapping situation on their hands only to find out it was all a misunderstanding.

📃 Psychology reveals surprising personality traits of people who still write grocery lists by hand

And if you’re a certain type, you may want to write these down.

Are you the type of person who always writes grocery lists by hand? Perhaps on the back of a receipt, in a special notebook, or on an index card? Do you insist on this method, even though you’re the only one in the store unfurling paper like an ancient scroll while everyone has their heads down, tapping away at their phones?

Lists are undoubtedly important. In a recent poll, research revealed that the average British adult writes an average of three to-do lists a week—which, in some cases, can add up to 9,766 lists in a lifetime. “Evidently, we all rely on lists for one aspect of life or another,” commented Shahbaz Khan from STABILO, a high-quality pen and pencil company.

But when it comes to the actual list-making, does the method in which you create it really matter? Apparently, yes. And your choice, handwritten or digital, can say a lot about your personality.

😭 To all the Miss Honeys out there changing lives, thank you.

Adam Scott makes an appearance in his teen daughter's TikTok, and the jokes run wild

But no mention of calzones.

You might expect Adam Scott to make an appearance on television, but on a teen girl’s TikTok? Not so much.

But lo and behold, Scott’s daughter, Frankie Scott, recently featured him in one of her videos (a great honor that Gen Z bestows only to the worthiest of parents) and it had fans understandably shook.

The clip, captioned “Me informing my dad about my weekend plans,” starts off with Frankie lip syncing to audio from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, saying, “I have a busy week.” Then, BOOM, that camera cuts to Adam, mouthing “Do you?” followed by a conversation about Vegas and spray tans.

It’s a cute clip regardless, but the unexpected reveal of Scott was the real kicker. That, and the grade-A Parks & Rec and Severance comments it inspired.

💤Two roommates brilliantly prank call their landlord. His deadpan response has people rolling.

Even for adults, it’s not truly a sleepover if you don’t have to plead for permission.

Remember when you were 12 and you asked your mom if your bestie could sleep over? Sometimes it was an easy ask and sometimes you had to have a whole speech prepared. "I swear, we'll be asleep by midnight and we won't be loud!"

Now imagine asking permission as an adult. That's what comedians and content creators Tommy (@tommybayertime) and his roommate Noah (@Noah_snyder) did, but instead of their parents' permission, it was their landlord. Huddled up on the couch in casual "cozy wear," Tommy calls his apartment manager on speaker, who answers with a stern, "Hello."

Tommy sings, "Hey, Mr. Mead! It's Tommy and Noah in 3-A." Noah tries to sweeten the call by adding, "Favorite tenants." Tommy continues, "Yeah, we were just wondering if our friend Matt could sleep over tonight," to which Noah quips, "Yeah, is that okay with you?" The camera pans over to their friend Matt, who is sitting quietly awaiting the reply. (Matt also, for some reason, has a "Matt cam," so occasionally we see a close-up shot of his expressions which range from mild excitement to mild joy.)

Mr. Mead pauses. "I don't understand."
