A toddler experienced hilarious struggles acting as the middleman between her mom and dad. The youngster did her best to transmit messages from one parent to the other correctly, but it did not go great. It went about as well as anyone might have guessed. Check out the hysterical clip showing how toddlers are not the most reliable method of delivering messages.

Communication is, without a doubt, the most essential and vital element of any relationship. Without consistent and clear communication, there is no relationship between individuals. It’s simply impossible to have a relationship with another human being without talking to them in some form regularly.

However, even when communication is present, problems can still arise. People can fail to understand what someone else is trying to convey or get across. Miscommunication is very real and can lead to hurt feelings and damaged relationships.

A hilarious clip posted on social media perfectly captures how communication can become lost and twisted in translation. The child in the short video does her best to relay the messages that she’s given by her parents properly and correctly, but things go off the rails rather quickly.

The video begins with the little girl being given by her father. He wants her to tell her mother that he will be in the room she is in in a minute. Sounds like a simple enough message to deliver, right? 

Well, not so much.

The child enters the next room, where her mother is, and relays the message. The room is close enough that everyone can hear exactly what the child says. Of course, the sweet little girl mangled her father's words. The girl tries this several more times with similarly hilarious results.

Eventually, the child seems to understand her failure in message delivery. Instead of saying what she was told, she babbles incoherently, making noises that no one can decipher.

She gets an A for effort, right?

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.”
