Ever done anything half asleep? Then you’ll probably be able to relate to this kid.

A student has gone viral for trying to bring home his chair instead of grabbing his school backpack. The boy, who appears to be in primary school, did this immediately after waking up from his nap.

Facebook user Agnes Ravelo Orillos shared the CCTV footage yesterday. “You’ve made a lot of people laugh. Going to school just to sleep. And you even made that chair your bag,” Orillos says in the post in Filipino.

At the start of the video, some students have already left the classroom, but one particular student was left at his desk, taking a nap from a grueling day of learning.

As he slept, a woman takes his school stuff and puts them in a bag which was placed behind his seat.

Startled, the boy wakes up seemingly disoriented and grabs the closest thing he thinks is his backpack — which happens to be a chair next to him.

The boy really seemed to think it was a bag — he even inserted his arms through its holes and carried it on top of his shoulders, leaving all the adults in his classroom bursting with laughter.

By the end of the video, another adult steps in and gives the chair to the woman who then places it back to its rightful place.

The video had over 4.8million views and 147,000 shares as of this article’s posting.

Netizens could only be amused by the kid’s nonchalant demeanor. Facebook user Krizzia Lei Parpali wrote: “HAHAHAHA DONE WATCHING. Laughtrip.”

Facebook user Laurence Guyamin asked if the kid thought he was still dreaming.

Olga Ziemniak tagged a friend and said: “[This is] your future kid.”

Queene Bi wrote in a mix of English and Filipino: “Hahahahaha he’s also tired, maybe he worked on the night shift too.”

Another user wondered what the kid might be doing at home. Jo Ve Ry wrote in Filipino: “Maybe the child’s tired. I wonder what his work is at home? Poor kid.”
