Little dude was just trying to help... in the worst way possible.

Scott and Katie Reintgen have three kids aged 6, 3, and 1, but you just knew it was gonna be the middle child who decided to sneakily undo hours of gift wrapping so he could low-key give the family a hand!

The 3-year-old, whom Scott and Katie lovingly refer to as "the midnight perpetrator," explained to them that he unwrapped the presents because he didn't want his family to be confused.

"He wanted us to be able to see our presents so we knew what they were," Scott Reintgen said. "I think he legitimately just felt that he was doing a service to everyone. He will not do it again next year, we hope."

"We hope."

I look forward to reporting on how he decides to "help" next year!
