Three-year-old Mateo has been carefully studying the way his parents argue and was well-prepared to fight for his right to have a cupcake.
We don’t know how mother and YouTube user Linda Beltran kept a straight face throughout this hilarious confrontation, which features a toddler doing his best impersonation of an adult in an argument.
The kid squints his eyes, makes up outrageous implications and repeatedly refers to his mother as “honey.”
“Linda, honey, just listen,” he says multiple times.
Beltran told the UberConferene blog that her son began calling his parents’ by their first names after a trip to an amusement park where he saw a lost little boy trying to identify his mother and father.
“For the most part we are still Mommy and Daddy, but when he is serious and wants to make sure we are paying attention, we quickly become Linda and Kenneth,” she said.
She added that the new vocabulary has “empowered” her son.
“If Mateo feels the need and has a valid argument, he will be sure to voice it. He felt he didn’t need to eat dinner since he already had lunch, and that cupcakes were a suitable compromise,” Beltran added.
The entire world will know this kid by the end of today.
