Big brother duties
In the video that’s going viral, a young boy is seen going out of his way to protect his baby sister from the loud explosions. The thoughtful, instinctive, and protective behaviour has won the internet.The video opens with a visual of a crowd, and a young man, perhaps their father, enjoying the fireworks, but the toddler seems to be more concerned about his little sister, an infant. Instead of enjoying the fireworks, the baby boy instinctively covers her ears with his hands, pressing them gently but firmly against her head to shield her from the noise.
Netizens react
The heartwarming moment has won the hearts of the netizens, and the video is flooded with comments. “Big brother duties,” one netizen wrote. Another took a dig at the dad while appreciating the toddler. “Doing the clueless dad’s job!” a second said. This sweet video sent a netizen down memory lane. “Reminds me of when my granddaughter covered her Mom’s ears in the rain because she didn’t want Mom to get “chunky monkeys” (her pediatrician’s) terms for an earache,” one recalled. The adorable video won the heart of another netizen, who commented, “Awwwwh, he’s more focused on her than the fireworks.”One Facebook user said, “Why are people so negative? This sweetheart is protecting his baby sister. You have no idea how old he is. My son is only 1 year older than his sister 3 years older than his second sister. And 5 years older than his little brother. He was and still is very protective of them. Yes, when he was 1 he had a pacifier. He was still a baby at 1. Yet he would look out for his sister as a big brother should. This is a beautiful baby boy protecting his new baby sister.”The 15-second video captures the universal truth about siblings’ bonds. Despite being a child himself, the toddler knew he still had to do his big brother duties. And he does it not out of compulsion, but love.
