While most people can’t remember the last time they went to the mall, the Mall of America isn’t going down easy. They’re bringing the best of the best in terms of entertainment, a water-skiing squirrel.


In a kiddie pool in the middle of the Mall of America is a squirrel named Twiggy, attached to waterskis surrounded by a crowd of Midwesterners. The American Dream.


This squirrel is whirling around the pool at a crisp 2 mph. Twiggy looks like a pro.

The TikTok, posted by @hostesswithmostest, has over 7 million views and over 1 million likes. And there are so many questions.

When did the Mall of America turn into the ‘Midwestern Sea World’?


Is the life jacket doing anything for Twiggy or is it just for looks?


What is the purpose of the box of Moutain Dew?


Should I be going to the mall more?


“That squirrel is doing 3 shows in one day. I hope they paid him well,” says one commenter.


“Bro basically did an arena show,” says another commenter.


Twiggy is a little star in the making. Like all stars on the come-up, he’s just doing a tour of malls til he gets his big break; waterskiing on National TV.
