Everyone has their tastes, preferences, likes and dislikes. No two people will have the same set of likes and dislikes. That’s part of what makes us individuals and uniquely created. How boring would it be if everyone liked the same food, vacation spots, sports teams and movies/television shows?
However, even when we’re eating food, listening to a song or watching a movie we don’t particularly like, we can still act tactfully. We soften our comments, expressions and reactions. Our candid and unfiltered reactions might hurt someone else’s feelings.
Adults understand the need to act this way from time to time. Children, on the other hand, do not. Children are the most honest people on Earth. They will tell you exactly what they think or feel about something. Most have not developed a filter between their thoughts and the words that come from their mouths. This can lead to painfully awkward and hilarious situations.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a young man gave her honest reaction to a street performer singing and playing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”
Spoiler alert: Her reaction to the musical performance wasn’t positive.
The short, minute-long clip with the young lady standing nearby and listening to a man who performs another favorite of children: “Baby Shark.”
She silently watches the performer as he plays and sings the tune. There’s really no reaction to the man’s rendition of “Baby Shark.” She does dance around slightly, likely indicating her approval of that cover.
But things change rather quickly and hilariously so.
About halfway through the clip, the man starts playing and singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” A few seconds pass, and then the little girl gives her assessment. She actually plugs her ears and turns away from the street performer.
Her unexpected reaction causes several in the crowd to laugh, including the musician.
Everyone’s a critic, even children, it seems.
