You can’t argue with an expert. She’s adorable. ❤

[@user-mz7ov3pz7j]

Now that’s a lot of sass for a pint sized little person! 😂 Those folded arms, that killed me! 😂😂 Look out mumma, you’re in deep trouble! 😂😂🤣❤ A little cutie pie 🥰

[@artcet]

She must have heard and seen her mom and dad talking like that with gestures. She's cute 😊💖

[@johnhipp604]

What is her name

[@josi7690]

I agree with her. She made some valid points.

She makes more sense than most politicians do! She hasn't learned how to lie,either.

[@Yomama1029]

You’re funny!😄 😂🎉

[@bigballershow1]

Be gentle with that precious little girl, mom!

[@LouisEmery]

Now I see how the parents talk to each other.

[@TimofeyAsyrkin]

@@anitarodriguez4616 of course!

[@briancleveland6115]

And a 12 year old wearing a diaper isn't cute either, but since she's a baby she is cute.

[@seeleygirl6178]

Or she was scolded before like that.

[@komathiveeraswamy2174]

I'm not getting enough of this, fed up or boring watching this video for number of times. May God bless this baby with good health and prosperity.

[@robertplocke]

I love her little hand gestures! Adorable!

[@Brave2standalone]

She grasped the concept of arguing without the ability to clearly express her thoughts!

[@hermesmcclintok]

What a tragedy

[@JonBrase]

She clearly expressed her thoughts, she just couldn't make the sounds right. "It's not bedtime!"

[@DrStephanie72]

If she were expressing her thoughts we’d understand what she is saying. Maybe the adult she’s mimicking isn’t saying anything either!

[@DrStephanie72]

Bet the adult she’s mimicking can’t be understood either!

[@JonBrase]

@@DrStephanie72 I, at least, can understand a good chunk of what she's saying. Most of it is variations on "it's not bedtime".

[@arthurkornblum9771]

A future House Speaker!! She sure makes a good point!!

[@briankady1456]

Or a future lawyer.

[@MichelleT-so4we]

She is learning to communicate; the people that care will listen.❤️

[@76482]

Apparently she's already learned how to NOT listen. Steadily running her mouth, wagging her pointer finger, crossing her arms, never altering her tone of voice. All of this while the other person changes voice inflections and conciliatory words. This kid is a clear and present reflection of the everyday behaviors in her household. Ist adult talks/criticizes/admonishes, and the 2nd adult apologizes/grovels/begs forgiveness. But the 1st adult is determined to argue and not let it go. This kid is a future adult that was raised by at least one parent with a win/lose mentality and no conflict resolution skills..🫣

[@Wayne55125]

I guess this is how her mother acts when mad.

[@Lenergyiskey358]

Or there's a teenager in the family 😂

[@shrondasmith7544]

This little girl got everyone told for once and for all.

[@TacitusR]

The drama starts very young with this one.

[@richallenxbox1976]

Aw, she's adorable bless her.

[@covedweller6008]

She is telling you to shut up in there a few times mama!

It’s That Hands She’s Telling Y’all A Thing A Two To Adorable 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@yvonneS222]

I love this video, she’s getting a point across and she’s adorable at the same time and you gotta love her crossing her arms, lol!!!😂🤣😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pmdk1953]

She is a little gem 💗💗💗

[@randomvintagefilm273]

I can actually remember my parents talking about me thinking I didn't understand them but I did. I just couldn't talk yet and felt frustrated

[@weekendnomad5038]

Exactly. I commented this on another comment that said “she’s learning it somewhere” no .. little ones just have big emotions and can’t express them

[@76482]

​@@weekendnomad5038, That is not what OP meant. 🙄

[@user-qm2uq9le3i]

That is amazing that you could understand and remember that you could understand! I wonder if another baby could understand her.

[@omyyycool166]

She is so adorable💐❤

[@temujinkhan6326]

is it adorable or does it tell another story from learning from her surroundings?

[@virginiaconnor8350]

Wait til she rolls her eyes at you!

[@jamesarnette1394]

Speaking as a professional, certified babbler, I endorse this child's message.

[@jamesarnette1394]

All I hear is Radio Gaga radio goo goo Radio Ga Ga..... all I hear is Radio....

When she crossed her arms you knew the sh*t was gonna hit the fan.

That doesn't come from out of nowhere, it is learned conduct.

She is sooo cute, can't get enough of her😂😂😂😂😂

[@bradleylove8606]

Oh this is a good onel. She is learning quick.

[@homeromoura3277]

It is almost impossible defeating such well structured logic of arguments!

[@dw6506]

I would love to see the mama to see how much they look like in this early stage of manipulation

[@brynne77]

You mean with the folded arms and turning her head away like she's not listening to you? I noticed that, too. You may be right about stages of manipulation.

[@user-xs4pc6pe1l]

It's very apparent that she has been watching someone to have that down like that. And then crossing her arms. I guess she made her point clear.

[@alicegauteng2358]

I love how she keeps folding her arms😂

[@pmdk1953]

A very determine little lady, :)

[@stormwildthing5321]

Just seen this clip, the way she shouted & crossed her arms, like an old fashioned bouncer, if you're name's not on the list, you're not getting in! Hilarious 😅

[@siddharthpatankar3356]

The way she folds hands and puts her right hand forward with straight palm is so much like an actual argument also the way she says "Shap" like " Chup" in Hindi. Really Cute..

[@manojtiwary6891]

I love the cute arguments of sweet and cute baby. She is adorable and intelligent ❤.

[@mandimitten1918]

I love this little girl, she is so cute when she is angry. I wonder who she gets it from and what she has seen? She certainly knows how to argue and put her point across. I hope she has a good life and a bright future.😂

[@murraybool8081]

That wee girl is going to be THE BOSS!

[@minasiakovidis1851]

Just adorable! Greetings from Greece!

[@vincentdinatale6962]

A budding influencer!😂 She surely gets her point across! God bless!🙏🏻

[@user-jv8zh7gc4u]

I know as parents we are not supposed to spoil our children but this little one as her father I would have to give her everything she wanted she is so precious.

[@brynne77]

Just because she's 'cute' is not a good reason to spoil her and give her everything she wants. Sorry, but I watch a video of another family who is doing exactly that with their little two year old toddler (give into her every time she cries and wants something) and she is becoming a real spoiled brat.

To me it’s cute at that age but as they become older and they talk to you like that it isn’t cute anymore. It becomes plain rude.

[@HunterHayes-ld8ek]

It rude & disrespectful NOW...and arms crossed while her mother in the background saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry". She certainly is going to be sorry

[@weekendnomad5038]

How did this very little girl learn so much body language? I've watched my two grandchildren, almost the same age, arguing in this way. Their language was indecipherable, but they both knew exactly what they were saying. They almost came to blows.

Think this is cute? It is cute and as a mother of 10 all kids learn from watching and mimicking what they see. So what's the issue?.

[@temujinkhan6326]

@@candeejordan5250 this shows what type environment she is growing in... Someone might not have enough braincells to understand that.

[@76482]

​@@candeejordan5250, The ISSUE is that the kid is mimicking a common behavior that she sees repeatedly from at least one adult in her household. And it's a NEGATIVE antagonistic behavior from both tone of voice and physical gestures. This video doesn't show her mimicking loving or friendly behaviors. In a child that young we think it's indicative of an unhealthy household or parental relationship. If we've helped raise awareness then your own children can thank us later for answering the question. 😊
