11-Month-Old Fake Cries When Dad Says 'No'
It is just another day at the grocery store, and this dad has a young toddler in the shopping cart as he is grabbing the next items on his grocery list. The dad decides to practice telling the daughter “no,” in hopes that she will respond with her special act. This little girl might as well go ahead and sign up for theater class because she knows how to put on a show.
The beginning of this clip shows the dad pointing his finger at the girl saying, “no.” The young girl acts as if she is so sad and about to cry. She closes her eyes tightly and scrunches up her face. She squeezes her knee. Every time that the dad says, “no” in the clip, the daughter responds in the same way repeatedly. Then each time, she opens her eyes and turns towards her dad to see him again.
The young girl is definitely trying to pull on the heartstrings, but her dad isn’t fooled. Parenting has so many opportunities for lessons to be taught!
Just like this young girl thought that she could trick her daddy and pretend to be sad, sometimes we try to “fake out” God our Father. The truth is though, we cannot hide from our Father. He knows our true hearts. That can be a scary reality, but also a true gift in that we are fully known and loved by Christ even in our sins. He came and died for us to have a relationship with Him and we are now sons and daughters, adopted into His family.
“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-24
