A child who was in trouble responded with one hilarious question. She understood that her actions had landed her in some hot water, but she still had something that she needed to know about the situation. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the unexpected question the young lady asked.

We are all human, so perfection is an impossibility (So, how does practice make perfect?). We are prone to making our fair share of mistakes. Even when we recognize our sins and willful and intentional disobedience and ask Christ for forgiveness, we still don’t become perfect. We are still very much human beings who remain fully capable of stumbling and falling.

Because children are also human, they can and do make mistakes. However, parents are supposed to lovingly point out their errors and help correct the situation, teaching them so they may avoid making the same mistake in the future. A lot of parenting involves teaching and correcting a child when they are in the wrong. That was what happened in one clip posted on social media, but it came with one big, unexpected twist.

In the video, the woman behind the camera is absolutely horrified by the situation she has just encountered. A small child, who is holding a pair of scissors, apparently decided that she wanted to play hairdresser. The older girl took scissors to her younger sister’s hair, giving the little girl quite the cut, to the point where very little hair remains on the child’s head.

This is not going to end well for the older girl. She is going to be punished in some way. But before a punishment can be handed out, the older girl has one fundamental and unexpected question.

“But did she die?” the older girl asks the woman behind the camera.

While it’s funny, I’m not sure it’s a legitimate question. Fatalities can’t be the standard to gauge whether someone should be punished.
