A toddler’s unexpected and hilarious greeting will lead you to believe he’s much older than he appears. The little guy uses a phrase that isn’t often said by someone who still requires a car seat. His phrase will likely catch you off guard and have you laughing hysterically.

Every generation has its slang, phrases and figures of speech. Some of it is easy to comprehend, while others may require some explanation to understand the message being imparted. Many parents will completely understand this. They more than likely hear their children using slang that they have no idea what it means. It probably sounds more like gibberish and nonsense than actual words.

That simply shows you that our language can and does show our age. Teenagers and many young people will say things like “fire,” “bet” and “amped.” Also, it must be some kind of requirement for anyone under 20 years old to use “bruh” every third word when speaking.

On the other hand, we can often spot or point out an elderly person just by hearing them speak. Their words and phrases give away their age, much like the younger generation. But what happens when someone uses a phrase that you would never expect to hear come out of their mouth? That’s precisely what happened in a clip posted on social media.

The short but hilarious video begins with a vehicle quickly approaching the curb. The camera then focuses on the toddler strapped in a car seat in the back of the SUV. The little guy greets the woman behind the camera, his mother, with a greeting that likely caught her completely off guard.

“Hop in, toots,” the child says with a huge smile.

It's not exactly what you’d expect to hear from such a young child; that kind of greeting would typically come from someone in their 70s, 80s or 90s. Either way, that’s still really funny and pretty cute!

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.”
