Boy Locks Dad Out of iPad For 48 Years

OMG, a Toddler Locked His Dad’s iPad For 48 Years, and We Hate to Laugh, Butttttt . . .

A 3-year-old boy locked his dad out of his iPad for approximately 48 years, and welp, that's one way to limit screen time! On April 6, Evan Osnos shared a photo of his iPad's screen, which read "iPad is disabled, try again in 25,536,442 minutes" after his toddler had it in his possession. "Uh, this looks fake but, alas, it's our iPad today after 3-year-old tried (repeatedly) to unlock," Evan wrote on Twitter. He then asked his followers for ideas, and while he got a few actual ideas in the form of articles on the topic and stories from people who have been through similar situations, because it's Twitter, he also got a lot of joke answers.

"Did you try putting it in rice?" one user asked. Another added, "Enjoy your new time capsule?"

See some of the funniest responses to Evan's tweet ahead. Godspeed, dad!
