WATCH: 4-year-old welcomes mom home at airport with hilarious sign

A little boy gave his mother a humorous homecoming last week.

Daimen Nielsen, 4, greeted his mom, Barbara Nielsen, at Fort Smith regional airport in Arkansas with a sign that read, "Welcome Home From Prison Mom."

Nielsen of Muldrow, Oklahoma, said that Daimen had no clue what the sign said and that it was all his dear old dad's idea.

"I was ready to smack my husband," Nielsen said, laughing. "It was cute when [Daimen] was holding it with that big, beautiful grin of his. I just looked at my husband and rolled my eyes and was like, really? And of course, everyone around us was smiling and giggling."
