A Mom Took Her Child To What She Thought Was An Aquarium, But It Ended Up Being A Jewelry Store

I went to a burrito place once in Chicago that I’m absolutely convinced must have been a front for some kind of drug-smuggling business or something that.

I won’t get into all the details, but all I can say is that the “employees” were shocked when I walked in and ordered some food and they didn’t really seem to know how to cook…

It was very strange…

A TikTokker named Kaurie posted a video and showed folks how she took her son to what she thought she was going to be an aquarium…but it turned out to be something else completely.

The video showed Kaurie putting her baby into a stroller and the text overlay on the video reads, “POV: this was advertised as an aquarium.”

The mom brought her child into the building…but this definitely wasn’t an aquarium.

The interior of the store showed that Kaurie had clearly walked into a jewelry store.

In the video’s caption, Kaurie wrote, “I feel bamboozled.”

Well, that was definitely a strange experience for her…
