The video, which garnered over 1.4 million views since its publication, prompted thousands of social media users to comment. Many internet users joked that Amahle would be a great lawyer, given her 'cross-examination.' Others shared similar stories of their little ones saying the darndest things.

@projectgrownup saw another profession besides a lawyer, writing:

"All I see is a scientist. She put a hypothesis out there, tested it, and generated the evidence."

@thehoney72 stated with a laugh:

"She’s so young but has mastered reverse psychology."

@thee_mariapm shared with the online community what their five-year-old said:

"I was told, 'You're not being a good mom today. I'm not very happy with you today.' She then proceeded to draw both of us on paper with a broken heart in between just because she was told no to watch Minecraft for the 10th time that day."
