Breaking news: Parenting is a battlefield.

A former Indiana political reporter and overwhelmed mother made a hilarious TikTok newscast detailing her son’s apparent ketchup-flinging meltdown at a nearby Olive Garden, labeling the alleged culprit a “2-year-old terrorist.”

Kayla Sullivan, who previously reported for Fox59, began her on-site standup outside the boy’s bedroom while he was being “detained until nap time is over.”

“What I can confirm is my son is a 2-year-old terrorist who held me hostage at the Olive Garden earlier today,” Sullivan tells her audience while sporting a colorful toy microphone.

“It’s important to note the friends I met there do not have children and likely never will after witnessing this situation firsthand.”

Despite Sullivan bringing her tot’s favorite snacks and risking “judgement from other moms” by bringing an iPad as well to entertain the young boy, it wasn’t enough to stop the so-called diminutive agent of evil from making several incomprehensible cries at the Italian chain restaurant.

“A good Samaritan waitress miraculously understood it as the English word ‘ketchup’ and brought him a bottle. Unfortunately, her good deed was later punished after he threw a ketchup-covered fork at her.”

“Not all heroes wear capes, but this one should have worn an apron,” Sullivan remarks.

“These toddler outbursts are becoming increasingly common as more and more parents try out the new craze, ‘gentle parenting,’ and completely suck at it … I’ll keep trying.”

In a follow-up video, Sullivan has an “exclusive sit-down interview with the alleged Olive Garden terrorist” himself, where another raucous condiment demonstration began — this time he used the bottle to wipe ketchup from his face.

She asks the irrepressible toddler if he felt remorse for his actions, to which the young lad shouted “SORRY!” into a ketchup bottle/microphone.

“There you have it, he’s sorry,” Sullivan said.
