Young children have a natural way of expressing their thoughts without any filter, often leaving adults amused or surprised. A loving mom captured one such moment when she shared a video of her son, Zuluboy's TikTok handle @zuluboy129, a page dedicated to his adorable content.
Parenting is full of moments that require patience, and children often see the world in ways that make adults reflect. While raising a child can be challenging, it also brings moments of joy and unexpected lessons.

In the video, Zuluboy is seen sitting in his kiddies' chair in the lounge as his mom explains how skin colours differ. She tells him that some people are white while she and Zuluboy are black.

Kids notice skin colour early
Kids start noticing skin colour differences pretty early. Research shows that by age two, they’re already using colour names to describe people. By age three, they might start asking deeper questions about race and identity. This curiosity is not about bias, it’s just how kids make sense of the world.
The viral video is an example, that the toddler was not being being difficult, he was just trying to be accurate based on what he saw. The moment demonstrated how young kids absorb and process the world around them, shaping their understanding of identity.
Mzansi loves the little boy's theory

Many also praised the mom for her calmness and for allowing her son to fully express himself, noting his respectful behaviour too.
