Dad Emio Tomeoni, 30, regularly spends time with his son, Xavier.

He decided to make the video to show his wife, Stephanie Ramos, the chaos that ensues when himself and toddler Xavier spend the day together.

The living room starts out spotless. You can guess what happens next… but all in the name of fun.

Mr Tomeoni, who works in the film production industry, says he made the video because his descriptions of the mess he and his son make seemed so exaggerated.

He told ABC News: “We both have perfect jobs, but our hours are completely upside down. She's night side, I work regular hours. Her off days are weird. We're making all these adjustments. We didn't have a solid day care yet, so I'm taking weird days off and I end up at home with our son in the daytime a lot. And it's great.

“Me and him alone, progressively, I got obsessed with getting him toys, so I kept telling her how our days went, saying, "This place was a wreck, a disaster. We played all day." And then she'd walk in and it would be spotless.”

He says he makes a lot of videos for his wife, but was really surprised at the success of this piece online.

“It was really odd. I looked at it when I was done with it, and my thought was, "My wife is going to love this, mainly because the house was clean at the end of the day and I changed his diaper”… That was my initial thought.

“But after I got some random feedback, it seemed like it could be big.”
