Serena Williams’ daughter Olympia mistakes tampons for cat toys


Children certainly have a perfect way of entertaining themselves.

Serena Williams captured the moment she can’t stop laughing as her daughter, Olympia, used her stash of tampons she thought were ‘cat toys’.

“What is that?” Williams asked her 5-year-old in a TikTok posted on Tuesday.

“A cat toy for Karma,” the youngster said of the family’s furry friend, ripping the cotton off his purple shell.

The 41-year-old former Tampax commercial star put his head in his hands in disbelief as Olympia unpacked more ‘toys’.

“Let’s not play with too many of them,” Williams disciplined her, to which the child promised she would just take “one more.”

“Who am I to steal her joy, she’s a cat toy! Don’t @ me,” the tennis legend captioned the video.

And that’s exactly what people didn’t do because many commentators couldn’t get enough of Olympia’s innocence.

“She tears them up like she’s been doing this all her little life. She also has your same voice! a user wrote.

“She gets an A for creativity! another said.

“At least it’s a cat toy. My son used them on a school project like clouds,” another admitted.

“Show him this when ‘it’ happens,” laughed another at the naive child.

Others have pointed out that tampons are for cats but not for the ones Olympia was referring to… but that too will come with older and wiser knowledge.
