Kids will always catch you off guard with their honesty. Zuluboy didn't hold back when he heard his mom say something 'off' during a funny trend.

The clip of the cute interaction between the mother and son went viral after it was shared on the TikTok handle @zuluboy129, entertaining many social media users.

Toddler owns the moment

The clip starts with the mother, who was asked by a follower to try the hunger challenge on her toddler. She says, "I'm so hungry I could eat a kid." Shocked by his mother's statement, Zuluboy asks if she can eat him, wanting to know if she thinks he is food.

Before his mom can respond, he tells her that he is not food and, in his cute broken English, asks if his mom is speaking correct English. Amused, the mom agrees that there's nothing wrong with her English statement, but the boy isn't having it, correcting her on what to say when hungry.
