A mom on TikTok has thousands of other moms rolling with laughter over her devilishly "genius" plan for family spaghetti night. Turns out, it always happens to fall on the night her husband is up for bathtime duty — meaning she's off the hook when it comes to cleaning up the aftermath.

According to Taylor Bunton, spaghetti is her daughter's favorite food
Not so much because she likes eating it, but because she likes playing with it — squeezing the noodles in her hands, rubbing the sauce all over her face, and generally just making a giant mess with everything that's placed before her.
"She probably gets more on her body than she does in her mouth," the mom recently told Good Morning America. "You can't blame her."
"She just loves making a mess and I just love her being able to feed herself, feel the different textures, and just enjoy herself," she explained.
Bunton (@taylorbunton2) has become used to all the dinnertime chaos
But there's one big reason why she doesn't mind cleaning up her baby's highchair, bib, and other surrounding areas that the spaghetti happens to land. Because in the back of her mind, Bunton knows her husband is stuck with the real task at hand: cleaning baby Reese off in the bath.
"Spaghetti night always falls on Dads bath night," she wrote in he caption of her post, which now has over 1.2 million viewers.

As little Reese starts to babble, she rests her little spaghetti-stained hand on her head
That's when Bunton pans the camera over to her husband Luke, who is giving off a look of pure defeat.
"His reaction was just so funny because he knew it was his turn for her bath night and so he was telling me, ‘Stop, stop recording. We shouldn’t let her do this,'" she told GMA. "And I was like, ‘No, this is so funny.'"
"So just getting his reaction, I just know that multiple other families probably relate to the same situation," she continued. "And there's no disciplining, it's just so funny."

The post was soon flooded with comments
And so far, almost all of them have come from fellow moms who found the clip to be absolutely hilarious.
"Well played mama, well played!" wrote one mom.
"Genius!" said another.
Others got unexpectedly emotional over the whole thing.
"My husband watched this with me and said one day he will look back and wish he could give her one of these baths one last time," wrote one mom.
