A family visiting Gatlinburg, Tennessee, was met with the most Gatlinburg conundrum ever: A black bear trying to join them for dinner through the kitchen window. Apparently, it was taco night.

In the viral video, a woman is filming as a man tries to dissuade the bear from opening the window fully and coming right in. He tries making noise, but that doesn’t work, so the man ends up spraying the bear in the face with water from the kitchen faucet. Ultimately, it works, and the bear leaves.

“An Alabama family enjoying some vacation time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, almost had an extra mouth to feed when a bear tried to make its way into the cabin,” wrote ABC 7 News in an Instagram post.
