Crying is a baby’s way to tell the world that they need something. Whether it’s a bottle, time for a change or time to get up from a nap, a baby’s cry is important for all parents to pay attention to.
However, some crying is just a way for them to get Mom and Dad’s attention and affection. That’s what this little girl discovered and now her absolutely adorable fake cry is going totally viral…
Even though we may be concerned about every little whimper our babies make, the Medical Daily website explains that a large portion of their tantrums may actually be fake! The site says that babies often fake cry because it’s an easy way to get a mother’s attention.
They said that fake crying can be identified by the pauses a baby makes while waiting to see if Mom is paying attention, as well as the positive behavior (laughing and smiling) displayed immediately after the crying. Even though this may be frustrating to exhausted parents, the site says that this behavior is totally normal and actually a good thing.
Fake crying is the earliest form of deception and it shows the cognitive ability to understand cause and effect! While all of that may seem like a complicated explanation for fake crying, it’s exactly what this sweet little one is doing.
As soon as Mom asks what’s wrong, she breaks out in a whimper that’s totally comical. Instead of sobbing, the little one starts a choppy cry only seen in the movies.
Her little chin quivers and the noises she makes are just too cute. It’s almost like she’s shivering but with tears and raw emotions.
Then she glances away when Mom calls her bluff. But this little precious princess isn’t done just yet. She has more tears in the works for Mom.
Take a peek at her silly fake cry for yourself in the video below. By the looks of things, Mom and Dad definitely have a drama queen on their hands!
