This is Patimiosi Olive — Osi, for short — a 3-year-old living in Utah.

Osi and his parents were in the kitchen cooking dinner on Thursday when something peculiar happened.

"We were getting ready to make a roast, and we’re working on peeling the carrots, and they started slowly disappearing," Osi's dad, Samson Olive, told BuzzFeed News.

Samson turned around, and next thing he knew, saw this:

There were carrots EVERYWHERE.

Samson said he has "no idea" why his son pulled the Great Carrot Heist.

"The motive of a 3-year-old, I guess!" he said.

After his parents saw what he'd done, "all Osi could do was jump up and down and scream, 'Yay,'" Samson said.

"Obviously, he was pretty excited about it," he said. "Yeah, he was extremely proud of himself."

Samson's cousin Madison posted the glorious photo on Twitter, where thousands of people are loving Osi's antics.

Osi does funny stuff like this pretty often, Samson said.

"He used to pretend like he was a dog," he said. "So for a while, when we were potty training him, he wouldn’t go pee anywhere except outside."

Samson said he and his wife "couldn’t help but laugh" when they saw Osi's little art installation.

"We left them up for a bit, and then he eventually took them down, and then we cut them up and put them in our dinner," Olive said.

"It was just the random quirkiness of a little 3-year-old," he said. "Kids really do the funniest things."
