Little children are undoubtedly fascinating beings. They’re brutally honest, witty, and possess a knack for getting what they want. This is vividly demonstrated in a video featuring three-year-old Matteo Beltran and his mom engaged in a humorous argument, which has maintained its popularity over the years.

The video, recorded about nine years ago, captures Matteo repeatedly interrupting his mom with the phrase “Listen, Linda” as they discuss his attempt to skip dinner for sweets. The comedic exchange ensued after Matteo sought support from his grandmother when his mom denied his request.

Originally posted in 2014 with the caption “My three-year-old must discuss and question everything,” the video quickly went viral, amassing over 36 million views on YouTube. The humorous interaction caught the attention of talk shows like The Ellen DeGeneres Show and earned praise from celebrities such as Queen Latifah and Michelle Obama.

The video remains a timeless and entertaining portrayal of the typical toddler behavior of questioning and negotiating with parents. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely worth a watch!
