Interview With A Toddler

January 7, 2016 8:24 PM

"Why don't toddlers help the family financially?" (SYTL) "The dad discovers why toddlers don’t help the family financially, and the real reason little Amalah can’t sleep through the night."

"Amalah doesn’t answer all of her father’s burning questions, but the effort is well appreciated."

I prefer the term "almighty."

This is a lot of fun.

Brilliant and in a way where I'm not like, "oh, he took these tired old tropes and spiffed them up really nicely" but in a way where I'm like, "Oh! damn!"

Also, he proves yet again what beautiful tyrants children are. We love them, they rule us - slip 'because' in there anywhere you like.

In the first five seconds I said, this is lame, anyone can edit video and put in sub-titles... at the end I got up off the floor (where I may have been laughing) and subscribed...

I love the fake conversations with babies genre, and this has an edge on most on the strength of Amalah's cheek game alone, but Dad also does a great job selling it.

All this dudes videos are amazing. This one about his own father is intense and interesting. I think I may have just realized why people like Youtube.

The look on the kids face at the end of the beatboxing one it priceless! It's like she's thinking "did I just make a phat beat with my dad? yes I did!!!"
