Children can often get bored inside grocery shops. Walking behind your parents as they try to make sure they grab everything on the list is not very entertaining, even if you are promised a special treat as a reward for your good behaviour. 

It is no wonder, then, that 12-year-old Tylen Ellis decided it would be fun to find a Chewbacca mask and play a little trick with it. The boy donned the character mask and snuck up behind his mother Tashila. However, he could not have planned for what happened next. 

As soon as she sees the masked boy she strikes him, leaving him lying on the ground! Talk about a prank going horribly wrong. 

What about shopping at Walmart had Tashila on such high alert? There's one thing that Tylen can take away from this: never underestimate a mother's ability to fight back.

Later, Tashila posted on Facebook: "Bet Tylen will think twice before he tries to scare his mama."
