A grandchild's unconditional love

Seated calmly at home as his mom films, the toddler expresses to his mother the depth of his affection for his granny. When his mother playfully tries to include herself in his declaration, the boy, in the cutest possible way, politely but firmly tells her that she isn't the subject of his praise and notes how she often makes things about herself.

He then expresses his desire to buy his granny a car, emphasising that he doesn't want her to rely on taxis, and adorably asks his mother to save his money for this future purchase.

"This baby boy is very brilliant, you're so blessed to have such a clever baby. He reminds me of Pancake. Ingaske bangahlala bengaka ɓayathandeka (wish they'd stay this age forever, they are the cutest) ."

User @Kgomotso Maluleke shared:

"There's this very important thing I hope parents are learning from the two of you: balancing vernacular and English languages. This boy's vernacular is solid. He knows what he is saying, just as much as he is learning to speak English. Soon, he'll be very solid. You are doing an awesome job."

User @Ma Zintlana commented:

"I find myself smiling every time I come across his videos. He’s so adorable, umntana ka makhwam (my neighbour's child)."

User @Rammolotsi Sothoane joked:

"This comrade has been here before... there's no way...so much wisdom at such a tender age?"
