To amuse themselves and their followers, internet users experiment with a variety of trends. Social media users try everything, from the ice-bucket challenge that gained popularity years ago to the new trend of parents filming their children as they trick them into recording their dance videos. One such video shows a young child’s endearing reaction as he mistakenly thinks he is filming his dancing mother.
Four days ago, Instagram user Joshua Chavez posted the footage. The mother can be seen dancing in the video as the kid attempts to record her while holding the phone. But the toddler is in the focus of the phone’s primary camera. He keeps grinning and his eyes are radiant as he pretends to be filming his mother’s dance. His reactions are too adorable to ignore as the video goes on; they almost melt the heart. The song “Love Story” by Taylor Swift is playing as the woman dances.
The video has over 1.9 million views and 1.5 lakh likes since being shared on the social media platform with the caption, “The end, why am I bawling at this trend?! He’s SO CUTE.”
Several viewers of this video were unable to contain their joy. A user commented, “Too beautiful! A man’s first love is his mother.”
Another person gushed, “This trend makes me laugh and cry all at the same time.
“Ughhhh I cry EVERYTIME!!! the love and sparkle in his eyes watching his mama!” a third person chimed in. “Ok time to wake my son up from his nap because I miss him now.”
Another individual said, “Just by the glint in his eyes, you can tell that his mother is his first love. This smile made my day more than worth it.”
That smile makes me happy because it says, “My mom is beautiful and I am too,” said an Instagram user.
