An adorable little boy’s hilarious “cute animal” discovery has his mom in stitches.

Every day, children grow, learn and explore. Part of that learning and growing for a child involves getting up close and personal with new and unfamiliar creatures. Sometimes, this can lead to stressful and scary situations for Mom and Dad because children are pretty fearless.

Most children do not understand there are consequences to their actions. That’s why many kids will still place their hands on it even after being told to stay away from it and not touch a hot burner. Of course, they learn quickly that a hot burner hurts and quickly scream to Mom for help.

Well, a clip posted on social media shows that one little guy was in his house exploring when he came across what he believed to be a “cute animal.” As most young children do when they find something new, they get excited. In addition to his excitement, he wanted to share his discovery with his mother and father.

The video begins with the little boy rushing up to his mother, claiming that he has found an animal, and pointing toward the being. He wants her to follow him as he shows her “the cute animal.”

Mom, being the loving and attentive parent she is, asks her son for the exact location of the “cute animal.” “It’s right behind the door,” the little guy responds.

But as the camera finds the little boy’s new creature, it quickly becomes hysterically clear that he is not using “cute animal” correctly. The “animal” is actually a centipede that has made its way into the house.

The little boy, seemingly wanting to be reassured of his description of the being, asks, “Is that cute, guys?”

Mom cannot contain her laughter about the situation and how her son has described the bug.

Sorry little guy, but that is not a “cute animal.”
