A cranky toddler from New Jersey has left internet users in hysterics after her cousin tried—and failed—to get her out of bed.
In a clip on TikTok, mom Quiana Brifu (@quianacreates) filmed her niece Madison—who was visiting—going into her daughter Chloe’s room. Already bright-eyed and ready to play, Madison shouts, “Wake up! Hi, Chloe! Hi, Chloe!” while waving enthusiastically in her cousin’s face.
Not ready for human interaction just yet, Chloe sits up in bed and says, “Don’t say hi to me.” Off-camera, Quiana can be heard laughing at the two toddlers, asking, “Why?” The text overlay on the clip reads: “POV [point of view]: your toddler is not a morning person.”
“I was excited to take Madison into Chloe’s room since she was visiting,” Quiana told Newsweek, “only to discover that Chloe wasn’t too happy with Madison’s energy so early in the morning. Madison had been awake for a little over an hour; Chloe had just sat up in her bed. When I noticed her sitting up in the camera, myself and Madison walked in.”
It was 7:40 a.m.—a time, Quiana said, that doesn’t exactly bring out the best in her daughter.
“Chloe usually doesn’t like to be bothered in the morning,” she added. “Chloe is typically extremely bubbly so it’s clear that her energy was a reflection of it being too early.”
The girls, both 2, are full of personality. “Both are very bubbly toddlers, and well spoken,” Quiana said. “Often shocking people with how well they can articulate and how much they already know, whether it be shapes, colors, alphabets, numbers or so forth.”
The toddlers, who are around a month apart, caused hysterics online. The clip has clocked up over 9.3 million views and a further 2.6 million likes on TikTok.
Internet viewers couldn’t get enough of the “old lady babies” as Quiana called them in her caption.
“She’s definitely not a morning person,” one user posted.
“Chloe run a strict program,” another commented.
A third commenter wrote, “Perhaps Chloe needs a 5 minute grace period.”
“The video has been shared across news outlets like ABC Chicago, made it to a top funniest baby moment list on YouTube and shared across many other popular blogs,” Quiana said.
