It’s always a fun time for a parent when their child starts babbling and making sounds. Though they aren’t yet able to form actual words, they love to babble in gibberish as often as they can.

In this video, you’ll meet a little boy who sure has a lot to say despite the fact that he can’t form real words yet!

The video opens with the mother lecturing her son, telling him, “You have to stay sitting down. Look at Mommy. You have to stay sitting and you can’t climb everywhere.”

Instead of quietly listening to her mother, the baby boy starts babbling like crazy! He responds to his mother’s accusation with tons of arguments. Unfortunately for him, however, none of them are understandable!

The two bantered back and forth until the mother could not help but start laughing! She clearly has a little boy with tons of personality!

Megan Oesterreich, director of parenting education at the Center for Connection in Pasadena, California, said that the best way to diffuse this kind of problem when your child is a little bit older is to point out the real problem in a calm, even-toned manner.

“You have to take the power struggle out of these moments,” she said. “When my girls give me lip, I should take three breaths to chill out, then sit at their level, get close, and say, ‘Wow. I can hear in your voice that you’re frustrated. Can you tell me what’s going on?’ This will help calm your child down.”
