A South African mother is finding it very to live without her television after it was broken by a child. A video of a young boy has found its way to the internet as he is seen playing in front of the television.
However, as the boy is playing under no supervision, he takes his game to an extreme level as he smashes the TV screen with a wooden spoon. The mother can be heard shouting the boy’s name in the background but it is too late because the damage has already been done.
South Africans are now reacting to the clip and many have shared contrasting remarks on the video.

“My question is... why is he being recorded and not being stopped? Some parents should just never visit other people with their children.”
@JayMiya ZA said:
“His name is Tshenolo, meaning revelations, hahaha.”
@Angel_Kay28 said:
“I will never do that naughty corner punishment, my nephew does every naughty thing just to sit in that corner and not do school work.”
@Dramadelinquent said:
“So instead of taking the spoon away she grabs her phone to record.”

Sweet moment as a father and baby fist-bump in viral home video
In a story related to kids, Briefly News reported that a very funny video of a man and baby has gone viral as it got many people talking on social media.
In the short clip, the man who some believed to be his father fist-bumped with the kid. Afterwards, he went into unrelated talk trying to tell the child what never even happened.
In the middle of the conversation, the baby made a meaningless contribution that suddenly got both of them laughing. One of the funniest things happened when the toddler imitated the man by slapping his hand on his leg while laughing.
