Alabama and Travis Barker join TikTok trend

On a social media upload made on Sunday, January 7, Alabama and Travis appeared for a video where the 18-year-old shared with her followers, "I'm asking my strict but not strict dad hypothetical questions.”

Before starting with the questionnaire, she asked her father whether he considers himself a strict father, to which he replied in negative, per OK! Magazine.

Alabama then fired the first question, "What are you gonna do if I sneak out and you find out the next day?"

Travis replied, "I'm gonna tell you how dangerous it is and maybe try to put you on restriction."

Alabama then told her 4.2 million followers, "I'm not even kidding you restriction was his thing.”

For the second question, she asked her father, "What would you do if I went out with a boy and I just completely stopped answering?"

Her father replied, "I would come to your location and I would find you.”

As Alabama asked, "What would you do if me or my friends came home high or drunk?" Travis replied, "I would tell you not to ever do it again.”

The session went on to become more interesting as the youngster asked her father whether she's "allowed to have guy friends over".

Travis famously replied to the trick question, "[Only] if I'm home."

"Am I allowed to close my door with a guy in the room?" she went on, to which Travis replied, "not without me coming in to check on you."

In her next question, Alabama asked, "Would you let me drive to a guy's house by myself at night?"

Travis simply replied "no" as his answer.

Alabama asked hypothetical questions about her academics

Alabama posed hypothetical questions about her academics as well as simple tidbits of her life.

She asked if her car “got towed” then what would her celebrity father do. Travis replied that he'd "have [her] find out where it got towed to" while making herself pay for it.

She went on to academics and asked Travis, "What would you do if I got a C or lower in class? What would you do if I stayed out past my curfew?" to which Travis spilled that she has done both in the past.

He continued, "I'd tell you, you don't need to go anywhere the next day. And I stress to you how important curfew is."

The conversation took a hilarious turn as she hypothesized, "What would you do if I skipped all my classes?" and her father replied he'd "start doing school" with her.

"Oh, no," exclaimed the celebrity daughter in mock disdain, and continued to ask, "What would you do if I hit my car? Like, I crashed."

"Mmm. I don't really care about the car," Travis admitted before adding he would not mind "if you're OK".

The duo ended the video on a high note as Alabama urged her fans to "tell me if he passed the vibe check".

Travis, who recently welcomed a son with Kortney Kardashian, replied, "Of course I did.”
