This is what she says: "At around 1pm I received a package at my home. When I opened the box, I thought it was a bomb. I rushed upstairs getting the kids out of the house and called 911. After much freaking out and police getting dispatched out police realized it wasn’t a bomb, but a dryer motor." We are not sure whether to laugh or be dazzled with this mom, probably our first reaction is to laugh at the top of our lungs since mistaking dryer motor for a bomb is funny indeed. After she has realized the silliness of the situation, she can’t stop laughing while explaining what has actually happened.

"You guys, I'm so embarrassed, but it's so funny," she said with tears welling up before explaining that she opened the box and found the motor, which had multiple wires and duct-taped bottom. She went on explaining that as she was opening the package delivered to her home, she thought that someone had sent her husband a bomb. So, when she saw the contents of the package, she rushed upstairs to get her kids out of the home and called 911.

"If you guys got a box and this was in it, what would you think?" she said. "I've never seen a bomb so I don't know what they look like, so I call 911 and I say, 'I think there's a bomb on my counter. I just opened a box and it's a bomb. I have three kids sleeping upstairs, what do I do?'" Is it going to go off? Is it a timer on it if I touch it?” She even took her kids to her neighbors’ house saying that there was a bomb in her home and that she had to take the dogs out.

Firefighters, police and the police Department's bomb squad were dispatched to her home and eventually determined that the item in the box wasn't abomb, but a motor for her broken dryer.

"They came out of my house smirking at me, and I'm like, 'What is it? (Are) my dogs going to explode inside of my house?' and they're like, 'No, did you order a motor for something?' And I was like, 'A motor?' And they're like, 'I think it's for a car.' And I was like, 'I haven't ordered anything for my car. I don't know what it is.'" Then all of a sudden, this lady had a revelation: "You guys. It's the motor for my dryer!"

The video went viral very quickly and it has been watched more than 4 million times. She posted the video right after the incident and is in-between crying and laughing.
