Look, we’ve all done some stupid things in our lifetime, like trying to eat a live octopus only for it to suction cup to your face. But I’m willing to bet that you’ve never done anything as ridiculous as “getting a harmonica stuck in your mouth and then making a TikTok of your miserable experience.”
Speaking about music-related stuff, the GOAT team talk about BTS, Carpool Karaoke and the group’s global takeover on It’s Been A Big Day For… below:
Mollie O’Brien, a teenager from Ontario, Canada, thought it was a great idea to shove an entire harmonica in her mouth as a way to entertain her cousin. But as she found out the hard way, putting in long metallic musical instruments sideways into your mouth isn’t going to end well for her or her jaw.
As one is wont to do when they have a harmonica stuck in their mouth, Mollie documented her anxiety-inducing incident by making a TikTok about it. Since she couldn’t exactly talk about what’s going on, Mollie had to make do with giant captions, like “well… I shoved an entire harmonica in my mouth and it’s stuck now.”
But that wasn’t really necessary because the drawn-out harmonica notes being played every time Mollie takes a panicked breath provides more than enough commentary needed for what’s going on. And for those wondering why she has duct tape on her nose, that’s just a pore strip.

For those wondering what happened to Mollie and the harmonica, she says (via Buzzfeed) that she went to a dentist and they got the instrument out with no harm done, though her mum was a little “shocked she raised such a weird kid.”
So I guess the moral of this weird story is don’t shove harmonicas in your mouth because they’ll get stuck. And if you do, at least make a TikTok of it so you’ll at least get some social media clout out of it.
Kids do weird stuff all the time, and sometimes it can be kind of beautiful. A 3-year-old sang this existential dinosaur bop and made the adults cry:
