A hilarious video shows two parents undergoing a heated and involved legal negotiation with their toddler.
As all parents know, children are demanding. Any need or want of theirs is always of the utmost importance. If the parents do not meet that need or desire in a timeframe deemed acceptable to the child, they could face the consequences: an angry, upset and crying child.
For a parent, an upset and crying child is likely the worst possible scenario. However, one video takes it a step further, adding the only thing that could make it even more of a nightmare for parents: a toddler with legal representation. Now the child has someone doing the crying and complaining on their behalf.
In a video posted on YouTube, Mom and Dad are walking down the stairs, arguing about laundry, and are rudely interrupted. Their two-year-old son’s lawyer would like a word with them.
As they quickly learn, their son has a list of demands that he would like met. The child’s demands are an exhaustive list of things he would like to either see his mother and father give him or improve upon.
Some of the child’s hilarious demands, as articulated by his lawyer, include more fruit drink pouches, additional screen time and fewer diaper changes. The child would also like to resume breastfeeding after witnessing his mother feeding his younger sibling that way.
The toddler’s legal representative requests that the child’s sleeping situation change.
“My client would actually like to co-sleep indefinitely,” the child’s lawyer says. “Yeah, he feels like he can sleep better when he’s kicking someone in the ribs.”
In the funniest part of the entire clip, the child also has a startling but laugh-out-loud demand about the family’s cat. It’s clear that it takes everyone, including the feline, by surprise.
In the end, after a series of heated negotiations, a settlement is reached that is acceptable to all parties. Not everyone gets everything that they want, but everyone walks…or crawls away happy.
Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”
