We'll get back to the serious things in a just a moment. But first we wanted to share with you a video that's started to make some noise around the Internet.

According to the description on YouTube, a mother who was not feeling well spent a few too many minutes in the bathroom. When she emerged her 1-year-old and her 3-year-old took a 5-pound bag of flour and "destroyed my house."

All the mom in the video says is, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh." The kids keep asking what's wrong?

At one point the mother says, "Oh my gosh. I don't know what to do. I think I'm gonna throw."

Here it is. Enjoy and be glad it didn't happen to you:
