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

[@johnhipp604]

What is her name

[@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 🥰

[@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.

You’re funny!😄 😂🎉

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.

[@robertplocke]

I love her little hand gestures! Adorable!

[@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.

[@Wayne55125]

I guess this is how her mother acts when mad.

[@Lenergyiskey358]

Or there's a teenager in the family 😂

[@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".

[@TacitusR]

The drama starts very young with this one.

[@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.

[@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..🫣

[@bigballershow1]

Be gentle with that precious little girl, mom!

[@arthurkornblum9771]

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

[@briankady1456]

Or a future lawyer.

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

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

[@jposika540]

She definately said ' stop'. So cute!

[@covedweller6008]

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

[@Neti.j]

Omg!! Cuteness overload! she told you guys😂 so so precious💕

[@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.

[@alicegauteng2358]

[@pmdk1953]

A very determine little lady, :)

[@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!

[@richallenxbox1976]

Aw, she's adorable bless her.

[@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.

[@marthabrawley2508]

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

[@Annejo2018]

Love the folded arms!! ❤

[@bradleylove8606]

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

[@marilynmccormick3731]

I can picture her 10-12 years of practice from now wanting her own way and it won't look nearly as cute.

[@bredaobrennan9993]

Well, it is age appropriate iin this case.

[@brynne77]

I agree. I"ve never seen a little toddler fold her arms like that and act so stubborn.

[@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.😂

[@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 😅

[@user-np8jj6kr7h]

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]

Are y’all dense? This baby has big emotions and can’t articulate herself.. on top of that even if the parents tried to tell her she can’t do that she won’t even be able to understand why ..

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. 😊

When a young child acts this way, you just KNOW she had to learn it from someone ... I wonder who ... Hmmmm ...

She was taught to act like by one of her grandmother's. It is called getting even with your children for being obvious brats when they were kids.
