A viral moment at a child's home in KZN highlighted the unexpected joy and pain of paying for a quality education, after a mother’s pronunciation was questioned by her little girl.
The video was shared on Instagram by @thomas_dray0723 on January 14 2026, and garnered massive views from an entertained online community.
The post features a popular little girl named Lisa who has become well known for correcting her mother’s speech. In the clip, the mom mentions the word “focus”, but her pronunciation using an "a" sound does not make the Zulu girl happy. Lisa immediately corrects the pronunciation by emphasising the “u” sound. When the mother repeats the mistake, a clearly disappointed Lisa asks her why she is saying the word that way when she is an adult.
Lisa is unhappy with her mom’s pronunciation
The little girl argued that mistakes are only acceptable for little children and not for someone of her mother’s age, while trying to stand up. Instagram user @thomas_dray0723 captioned the post by noting that kids always get their parents when they least expect it. The mother laughed as her daughter questioned her ability to speak correctly at her age.
