In the clip, the young boy is dressed in a smart navy-blue three-piece suit. When his mother asks why he's all dressed up, he replies simply, “Rakshabandhan.” She then questions him about what the festival means, to which he adorably answers, “It’s a bracelet thing that girls tie to the boys.”
His mother adds that it’s to thank brothers for protecting sisters, prompting the boy to ask, “Why do they need protection? Have you seen the girls? Have you seen my cousins? They are like warrior tanks! They will protect me.”
Admitting his own limitations, he hilariously continues, “One push-up also I can’t do. What I'll protect them?”
Internet melts over his words
Social media users flooded the comments with praise for both the child and his mother. One wrote, “You are such a wonderful mother. The boy brought tears in my eyes by acknowledging his cousins are protecting him. Such a cute sweetheart ❤️.”
Another chimed in, “I understand what he’s saying… my sisters are warrior tanks too!” A third commented, “Yeah girls can protect boys 😍 well said hero.”
Others couldn’t stop gushing over his maturity, with one user noting, “This boy’s way ahead of his age🔥🔥🔥” and another declaring, “I LOVE THIS KID SO MUCH GOD, Stay like this champ ❤️🧿.”
