You know how sometimes some children are prodigies? They’re somehow amazing pianists or artists at 4-years-old, or they play the electric guitar like no other and make money playing at subways? That’s what the video down below is all about. In this video, we have a baby girl who deserves an Oscar for fake crying so well. She’s going to become an actress someday—or maybe even really soon.
The video begins with this baby’s mother saying, “What’s your deal? You’re not even crying. There’s no tears in your eyes—nothing!”
And what does the baby do? She suddenly cries, and the way she cries is hilarious. She pouts and moves her mouth in a way that one usually does when they’re shivering.
Some people described in the comments of the video that, between the “cry” she lets out and the movement of her lips, it makes her sound like a machine gun—which is the exact way to describe it. I personally immediately thought of a jackhammer!
When she stops, however, that’s when you see the actress in her. She stops right away without giving it a second thought, and it’s as if she had never been crying in the first place. She returns to her blank stare as she looks at the camera. The second she stops, her mother asks her, “What was that?”
And with a blank face, no sadness or welling tears in her eyes, she does the cry again.
This little girl reminds me a lot of my brother when he was younger. When he figured that the family was too occupied in its day-to-day routine, and no one was paying enough attention to his antics, he would go grab a seat on the stairs leading to the second floor of the house. We would then have to go “find” him and ask him if he was ok. At this point, he would fake cry for the attention that he wanted.
For me, this little episode would be hilarious. I loved watching my little brother put on a cute, yet fake, act. But, I can’t say it didn’t work. The moment his happened, he’d be scooped up, taken to the pantry and he’d be allowed to get his favorite lollipop out of the candy jar. Score! (For him, at least!)
So, for me, it’s just as amusing to watch this little girl!
