In a moment that’s both amusing and a tad cruel, a viral video is making waves as it captures a toddler’s priceless reaction to a terrifying toy. Warning: Prepare to laugh and then instantly feel guilty for it.
In a Facebook post that garnered over a million shares, mom-of-three, Sarah Jenkins, decided to give her little one a fright with a seemingly innocent plush unicorn that morphs into a nightmarish doll. At first glance, it appears to be a delightful toy, but once you give it a squeeze, it transforms into a creature with glaring eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
The video starts with Sarah showing the toy to her young son, who beams with joy, reaching out and cooing with delight. “Isn’t he cute?” Sarah asks from behind the camera, and her son enthusiastically replies, “Yes!” But when Sarah squeezes the toy, the child’s expression shifts from delight to sheer terror in an instant, leaving viewers torn between laughter and sympathy. It’s hard, but we can’t help but chuckle. Sorry, not sorry.
Interestingly, Sarah herself found the humor in the situation. She captioned the video, “Can’t. Stop. Watching,” accompanied by a flurry of cry-laughing emojis.
Of course, there will be those who raise eyebrows, criticizing Sarah for scaring her child and labeling it as cruel. The video has stirred up over 300,000 comments, some expressing outrage. However, let’s face it, kids get scared all the time, and there is something undeniably funny about his frightened little face. Plus, Sarah reassured everyone, stating, “He’s okay, by the way. He’s asking to watch the video and laughing at it.” So, no lasting harm done, right? Just be cautious if you plan to try this at home; results (and potential therapy sessions) may vary.
