#1:My wife of 12 years left me and our 2 kids this morning’: 'She said she would be right back...' 

A dad got creative when his wife “left” their family because of her “addiction,” and TikTokers everywhere are cracking up!
Husband and TikToker Chris (@melzchris) gained a whopping 17.9 million views and nearly 9,000 comments when he posted the video to his account — which he shares with his wife, Melz.
Now, much like the husband who couldn’t hold back his squeal of horror when he saw his wife’s new pedicure, Chris’ hilarious TikTok has gone super viral!

In the video set against the backdrop of Reba McEntire’s song “I’m A Survivor,” Chris tells the story of how his wife “left” the family that very morning.
“My wife of 12 years left me and our two kids this morning. Her addiction was just too much to handle anymore. She said she would be right back,” he writes with on-screen text.
 As he tells his story, Chris takes care of the home — cutting up fruit, folding laundry, tidying up the couch.
“Were we too much of a burden for her?” he continues. “I tried my best. We had date nights. We have two amazing kids. Nice house and [a] great support system.”
Finally, the video concludes with the hilarious truth of the situation.
“It’s been two hours, and she is still at Target!!” Chris writes.

I totally was not expecting that one! You got me…’
TikTokers by the thousands rushed to the comments to share their reactions.
“It’s tough right now, but remember your kids need you. She’ll realize one day what she gave up and regret it. #TargetIsAHomewrecker,” one user joked.
“If my hubby [would] do all of that while I’m gone, [I’d be] on my way to Target now!” another user laughed.
“Not me watching this in my driveway after being in Target for a while… And my husband and two kids waiting in the house for me!” another user shared, laughing emojis in tow.
“I can’t believe I fell for the whole act, only to laugh out loud at the end! I had to rewind to make sure I read it correctly!” one user wrote.
“I’ve got two years clean from Target. It’s a fight every day. The wife relapsed about a month ago,” joked another user.
“Omg, you had me cracking up. I totally was not expecting that one! You got me,” wrote one user.
“Sir, the fall decor is in. Keep vacuuming,” joked another Target addict.
It’s clear that both Melz and Chris keep their love alive (and their family rolling in laughter) with their shared sense of humor. A family that laughs together — and, perhaps, shops together — stays together!

Semi-truck crashes into North Santiam River from Highway 22

#1:Semi-truck crashes into North Santiam River from Highway 22

 

 A semi-truck went off Highway 22 and crashed into the North Santiam River southeast of Detroit on Monday morning.
The Idanha-Detroit Rural Fire Department responded to the crash at about 7:18 a.m. at milepost 71, just south of Marion Forks, according to dispatch records.
"The driver was able to exit the cab on his own accord, and made it across the swift and strong river with the help of a couple firefighters, some good samaritans, and a rope," Idanha-Detroit wrote in a Facebook post.
"He was transported to the hospital with minor injuries."
The tractor and two trailers were partially submerged in the river.
Highway 22 is not closed, but there are significant delays, said Oregon Department of Transportation spokeswoman Angelia Beers-Seyel said.
"There will be delays probably most of the day but it shouldn't be anything significant," Beers-Seyel said. "It does typically take a while to pull a truck of this size out of the river."
The truck was for food transportation, but both of its trailers were empty, officials said.
There have been no reports of fuel releases from the truck, officials said. It has two fuel tanks that hold up to a combined 150 gallons of diesel.
NWFF Environmental, a contractor with the state, has put out boom and absorbents to capture any fuel released by the truck. They are also pumping fuel out of the tanks.
The crash was at a slightly different location than two tanker crashes — in 2017 and 2020 — that spilled gas into the North Santiam River.
