Father stops baby’s crying with R100 banknotes, video of the child’s joy goes viral: “Money has power”

In another story, Briefly News reported that one baby disproved the theory that money can't buy happiness. The kid's mood quickly changed from sad to ecstatic when she saw banknotes flying above her.

Like any good parent, the baby's dad knew exactly how to stop her from crying and brought out the moola. At a very young age, the kid looked like she knew the value of money, although it was probably because her senses were engaged by the hundreds of rands falling on top of her bed.
