A mother’s simple prank on her son resulted in a heartwarming viral moment, showcasing the incredible emotional intelligence and maturity of the young boy.
The clip, shared on Facebook by Lujabe Siphe (Zuluboy’s mother), documented a common parenting scenario that ended in a valuable life lesson from the toddler, entertaining thousands of viewers.
The video opens with the four-year-old, Zuluboy, sitting comfortably in his small chair, engrossed in television cartoons. At that moment, his mother begins the prank by asking him to fetch her phone. The bubbly boy eagerly agrees and runs to get it. When he returns and sits down, the mother immediately asks him to bring her wallet too. Which he runs to fetch. The subtle frustration begins just seconds after he sits down again, and the mother asks for a banana. A slight frown starts to appear on the little boy’s face as he realises he is being sent around repeatedly.
Zuluboy speaks on being sent around
The frustration peaked when the mother, Facebook user Lujabe Siphe, asked him to fetch her bread, and Zuluboy began to protest, yet still respectfully got up to retrieve the item. When the final request came to fetch her water, the toddler reached his limit. His face and whole body immediately reflected his unhappiness, and he declared, honestly, that he was a tired baby and his legs were tired. The confrontation took a surprisingly mature turn. When his mom asked if she should go fetch the water herself, the respectful toddler explained that was not the solution. He clarified that his problem was that she was asking for things one by one, and politely told her that she needed to stop the inefficient requests.

He appropriately communicates his concerns to his mother, and also avoids escalating things when he repeatedly refused to agree when asked if his mom must do it herself. Give thanks to God for His support in raising little winners, guys."
