Mom breaks Guinness World Record sprinting across Legos barefoot—and everyone’s making the same joke

Sometimes it feels like there’s a Guinness World Record for everything. Apparently, even running barefoot across Legos—a record a New Zealand mom just claimed as her own.

Everyone’s making the same Lego mom joke

Just watching the video feels painful. If you’ve ever stepped on even one of those small bricks without shoes on, it’s hard to forget just how much it hurts to have those sharp corners and connecting ridges dig into the soles of your feet.

It’s also probably something that a lot of parents can relate to, which led to a lot of folks watching at home making the same joke.

“She must be a mom,” reads the top comment on Instagram.

“She just smashed the world record for running on Lego barefoot… which only proves one thing: she’s 100% a mum,” another person elaborated. “No Olympic training, no secret coaching just years of midnight bathroom trips dodging Lego landmines left by her kids. Forget steel caps, this woman’s feet are forged in the fires of motherhood.”

An impressive(?) record

There were, of course, some people complaining that something like this doesn’t deserve a Guinness World Record, but others pointed out the reasons it’s actually quite impressive, and not much different from some other feats that go in the book.

There are also a bunch of dudes insisting the record doesn’t count because they could easily beat it. And maybe that’s true, but until you want to put your feet where your Legos are, this one belongs to Wall.
