We’ve all been in this hilarious situation, just like the mother in today’s funny video.
You hold your baby close… smile your biggest smile… repeat “Ma-ma” over and over with all the excitement in the world…

And what do they proudly yell at the top of their lungs?
“Da-da!”

No matter how many tricks we tried, pointing at ourselves, singing it, even bribing with snacks, they just wouldn’t say mama first! It’s so relatable and so funny, because deep down we all wanted to win that little “first word” competition.

Sometimes motherhood humbles you in the cutest ways!
