After a routine check for the latest on the Yahoo! homepage, I saw this cute little boy getting all sour after some lady held up “his” ball. Watch the video below.
So this boy sees the ball coming towards him, and he’s just peering over the next row, it obviously didn’t land even near him. And so this lady picks it up, and immediately the look on his face is just one my mom always calls the “evil eye”. That searing glare is obviously directed at the oblivious lady who doesn’t even realize that the kid wanted the ball.
While the lady is cheering, the boy just looks over at his dad and gives this look: “But I had it!” But too bad for him, the dad calmly breaks the news to him that it really wasn’t. And then goes that lip curl, and the arms are crossed.
Oh, now this kid is pissed! Don’t mess with him! And he proceeds to continue crossing his arms for emphasis, as if this will help. Now I get why my mom would ignore me when I pouted: it serves no use. But here, this kid is simply comical.
But all went well for the boy: after some attention from the announcers, he is given a couple of balls from the park. And then his face just lights up.
So one second this kid is Mr. Grumpy Pants, and then give him a ball and that totally goes out the window.
Unfortunately for teens, I don’t think pouting in a cute, funny way will get you your way. Oh, the good old days!
