Little girl gets cranky in car as she was 'too tired' — but her big brother knew exactly what to do

A bond shared between siblings is one of the purest bonds in a person's life. Whether it's opening up about everything or giving a comforting hug, siblings often understand each other better than anyone else. One such sweet moment between a brother and her younger sister is winning hearts online. In a viral video shared by Arlyn Fargusson (@arlynsofia on Instagram), a boy gently comforts his crying little sister. He calmed her down with just a playful joke, and the little girl soon started to giggle, proving just how simple yet powerful a sibling bond can be.

As the video begins, we see the little girl in tears, saying she doesn’t want to go wherever they’re headed, as she’s just too tired. Her brother, who is sitting just beside her, gently takes off her glasses, carefully wipes them, and hands them back to her, showing his caring nature. Their mom, who is allegedly capturing the video, then says, "But what if we get you lunch? Maybe you're just hungry. Right? Do you think about that?" The girl continues to cry but responds to this by saying, "I'm just hungry again. I don't know my body. I'm too tired." This is when her brother cracks a joke that makes her forget her worries.

He asked, "Did you just say, 'I don't know what my butt wants?'" Both of them then burst into laughter. The caption of the video read, “Big Brothers are a gift from God! My little guy is my right-hand man, hands down. Always willing to help, diffuse, correct, comfort.” As the video went viral on the social media platform, viewers flooded the comment section, praising the boy for calming his sister with such ease. One Instagram user, @pixel_suga, commented, “I wish I had an older brother like that growing up. Mine just pulled on my ear whenever he got annoyed at me.”

Another person, @anu_sheraze, wrote, “This whole conversation was so beautiful and gentle. Poor baby struggling but mama asking gently what she needs, baby trying to understand her feelings and expressing her emotions, while big brother tries to lighten the mood and support from the sidelines.” Similarly, @priscillayoung1993 chimed in and said, “Her brother being able to get her to laugh through her tears is everything.” @faantasticview also stated, “You can tell that boy is going to be a Gentleman, just the way he treats his sister, he seems sensible, funny, and kind.”

Meanwhile, in another heartwarming incident, mom Gloria McIntosh (@gloriaangelou) shared a video of her 10-year-old son's caring nature as he gently looked after his baby sibling. One night, McIntosh heard her 18-month-old baby crying. But before she could go and check on him, she checked the baby monitor and saw her elder son holding his baby brother and comforting him. He remained calm throughout, holding the baby, playing with him, and even reading a story for him. Despite the efforts, nothing worked, so the elder brother climbed into the crib to give his little brother company.
