An X user, @Enezator, posted a wholesome clip showing a happy family doing a little experiment, and the results were hilarious.

The caption read:

"Why does this usually happen?"

The 36-second video shows a mom, dad, brother and sister hunching down next to each other in an area of their home.

The youngest member of the family is seen being made to approach them from the opposite end, about two metres away, as they all bid him towards them.

The toddler hilariously zips across the floor and into their dad's arms first.

In the second instance, the child, wearing a onesie, is seen striding into the arms of their teenage big brother, ignoring their mother and older sister.

A third try shows the baby gunning for the two women but clearly into the embrace of the younger of the two.

"Seems like the mom is the only one in the family who says 'no' and does her best to inculcate some self-discipline in the little youngling."

@KoutureMag added:

"Must be a girl. Girls tend to love fathers and male energy more. She went to her sister because she was in front and [being] the loudest."
