LAUGHINGTON — From what I understand, cutting a baby's nails ranks in the top five stressful everyday activities involving babies.
Having no babies myself, I can't confirm or deny this poorly researched statement, but luckily I have a great imagination, and it feels stressful just thinking about it. Those little, fleshy fingertips are in such close proximity every time those clippers or scissors close.
Luckily for babies, they don't really understand the precarious situation they are in. What they do understand is that it's super fun to make dad laugh, and baby Marcelinha sure had her dad's number in this video.
As her dad cuts her nails, she makes a little gasping sound that sounds like she could be hurt. This scares dad so much that he stops, which is the most hysterical thing Marcelinha has ever seen, apparently.
Dad, of course, can't help but laugh at this adorable display, but it's only to his detriment since it only encourages her. His pleas of "Wait" and "Don't do that" will not save him, and she continues to adorably mock his efforts with her cackles.
If this video doesn't at least make you smile, you might want to get your feelings checked by a doctor.
The video went viral over the weekend, but it was too adorable not to share.
