A little girl made everyone’s day by proving she's stronger than most adults when it comes to food temptation.

The clip was posted on Facebook by Maskandi Channel - MC, attracting many views, likes, and comments from social media users who were impressed by how cute and patient she was.

The toddler ignored the food

In the video, the toddler stands in front of a table her size, with a plate full of goodies: crispy fried chicken, golden fries and a juicy burger. Her mom gets up, tells her not to eat the food, and promises to come back, testing if she’ll obey. She agrees, nodding and standing like a little queen.

Instead of grabbing a bite, she starts striking poses, looking straight into the camera with excitement. At one point, she leans in a bit close to the plate but still holds back, while her mom continuously tells her to wait, while away.

Some were obsessed with how she chose to focus on the camera like it was a runway instead of the food. Others said they were seeing a content creator in the making.

User @Jacqueline Jay Aphane advise:

"Please do another one and tell her once not to eat and keep quiet, let's see what she'll do without being reminded."
