The scoop
The video begins with an image of a kitchen counter. “My mom is tallying up her treasures,” Kendrick explains.
We catch a quick glimpse of his mother picking up her delicate pink flower-patterned tumbler as she exits the scene. Sitting on the counter are seemingly two full toilet paper rolls alongside five half-rolls.
He goes on: “What she requires is an abundance of toilet paper rolls.” As he approaches a series of windows, he adds, “Notice how these drapes function?”
Kendrick proceeds to slide the curtains to show their movement along the curtain rod. Afterward, he points out that when you return them to place, they become quite “gathered.” Then, turning towards the countertop, he whispers enthusiastically, “Just wait.”
Kendrick does not go back to the countertop. Rather, he moves towards a different set of curtains.

It looks absolutely beautiful,” Kendrick remarks contentedly, then spins around to present his beaming mother with the bouquet of flowers. “Great work, Mom!
