A mum left her children baffled when she headed off on the school run without them.

The woman realised her glaring mistake as she was en route and took out her phone to capture the moment - and her hilarious reaction.

Filming the empty passenger seat next to her, and panning round to show the unoccupied chairs in the back, she struggles to talk between fits of laughter.

With a huge belly laugh, she says: "I’m driving to school without my kids. I’m taking the kids to school and I don’t even have them in the car.

"I have to go back and pick them up. I can’t believe I left my kids.

"I got in the car and left. Oh my god I'm such an idiot, I was half asleep this morning.

"Where are my kids?"

The mum, thought to be from the US, turned around to head home and found her two boys stood outside the house waiting for her, with one of them asking: "You went all the way?", as reported by The Sun .

The clip was reposted on Twitter , with the caption 'She really drove her kids to school but her kids weren’t in the car I can’t stop laughing', racking up more than three million views.

It tickled many others, as one replied: "She said hmm you guys are pretty quiet this morning."

A second wrote: "The definition of 'I’m leaving in 5 minutes, with or without you'."

A third said "When you be on autopilot..it's ridiculous the s*** you miss lmaoo."

Another added: "I like that you can tell that this isn’t staged! She’s a real mom who was real tired who real life just got in and started driving. Hope she had a good rest of her day."
