Danielle Busby Shares Hilarious Cockroach Prank by Adam on OutDaughtered
Danielle Busby, known for her organized approach to family life on OutDaughtered, recently revealed a humorous yet shocking story about her husband, Adam Busby. While Danielle thrives on structure and checklists to keep their busy household running smoothly, Adam’s laid-back and playful nature often leads to unexpected antics—one of which involved cockroaches.
Adam’s Playful Personality
In her latest podcast episode, Danielle recounted a memorable moment that exemplified the playful dynamic of their marriage. As parents to six daughters, including five quintuplets, their lives are a whirlwind of activity. Danielle, who tends to be more serious, often finds herself at the mercy of Adam’s jokes, which keep her on her toes.
During the episode of their podcast, More Than Reality, Danielle pulled a question card asking for an unforgettable shared memory. She recalled a previous episode where she expressed lingering frustration over Adam keeping the flashlight for himself during their honeymoon water excursion. When Adam prompted her to think of something fresh, Danielle launched into the story of how he once “violated” her with cockroaches—an incident that still irks her to this day.
The Cockroach Incident
Danielle’s fear of cockroaches is well-known, and she described a particularly stressful moment while trying to relax in the bathtub. Spotting a cockroach nearby, she called out to Adam for help, only for him to misinterpret her plea as an invitation for a romantic moment. Instead of rescuing her, he decided to play a prank.
Recalling the moment, she described how Adam picked up the cockroach by its antenna and flung it toward her. While he claimed he intended to “act like” he would toss it in the tub, the prank backfired spectacularly—resulting in the bug landing right in front of her. Danielle vividly remembered nearly having a heart attack from the shock, even letting out a rare expletive in her panic.
Adam’s Lack of Remorse
Despite the chaos that ensued, Adam appeared to revel in the prank, insisting it was an accident. He downplayed the incident, calling it a “complete fluke.” However, Danielle pointed out that he had the audacity to buy dozens of fake cockroaches to further torment her, much to the delight of their daughters. Adam noted that only their daughter Ava seems to share Danielle’s fear of the creepy crawlers.
While Danielle may not find the humor in the situation, she appreciates the light-heartedness Adam brings to their marriage. They both understand the importance of laughter in navigating the challenges of family life, even if it means occasionally being the butt of a joke. Their playful banter and ability to find joy in each other’s quirks undoubtedly strengthen their bond as a couple.
