A toddler named Zuluboy left the internet in stitches after a sweet conversation with his mother about his school and favourite teacher.
The video was shared on Facebook by Lujabe Siphe on January 16 2026, where it garnered thousands of views and comments from an amused audience, who loved his theory.
Filmed at their Eastern Cape home, the video shows the four-year-old explaining to his mother that his 2025 teacher did not pass the grade. He told his mother that the teacher was still in the same class with “crying babies” while he and his peers had moved on. The little boy gave a cute smile while admitting that he missed her, but he remained heartbroken because she said she would no longer be teaching his group.
Zuluboy expresses worry over the teacher remaining in the same grade
Even when his mother, Facebook user Lujabe Siphe, tried to explain that teachers stay behind to release new babies when they are grown, the toddler struggled to understand the logic. He remained convinced that she had simply failed to progress along with the rest of the learners. His mother laughed gently while trying to explain how the education system works for teachers.
