In the clip, Nathaniel struggles to walk while wearing his 34-year-old dad’s black leather shoes, trying to get inside to put on a pair of his own shoes instead.

Mwikali, who is also mom to 8-year-old daughter Bella Wairimu, tells PEOPLE that she first noticed her son was in the wrong footwear while they were driving to school drop-off.

“I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants,” she admits.

“He said he was trying on his dad’s shoes to see if they would look good with his uniform,” Mwikali says of how the mix-up happened. “He has never done this before.”

Mwikali says she initially started to record the video to send to Nathaniel’s dad and then thought it would be fun to share it online.

“I didn’t expect it to blow up the way it did!” she shares. “I’m so happy people could relate because kids are such funny people.”
