Mom tries to stop toddler saying 'hi' to every stranger he meets at store — but he had other plans

Toddlers are one of the purest souls who spread happiness wherever they go with just their simple words and big hearts. They often greet the world with smiles, waves, and simple hellos, reminding everyone of the beauty of these small gestures. In one such adorable moment, a mom on TikTok, Mia Ariannaa (@mia.ariannaa), captured a video of her baby ignoring her request at the supermarket and telling "Hi" to every stranger who passes by him. His joyful and uplifting spirit has melted the hearts of not only the shoppers he waved to but also the internet.

At the beginning of the video, Mia enters the supermarket with her one-year-old son and asks him not to say "hi" to everyone they pass by. However, the cheerful toddler had other plans as he continued to greet the strangers with a loud “Hi." Even though Mia tries to stop him by running after him, it doesn't work. She then decided to put him in a shopping trolley, which seemed to upset him a little. He sits quietly for a while, then goes right back to saying “hi” to everyone again. The adorable video quickly went viral, racking up millions of views and likes. Thousands of viewers flooded the comments, praising the toddler’s cuteness and cheerful spirit.

One TikTok user, @melissa.v409, commented, “He is so dang cute. Girl, you are in trouble with that little heart throb when he gets older!” Another person, @claireannand24, wrote, “His dinosaur hat makes him look even more adorable. When he was in the cart, there was no one for him to say hi to, poor little dude.” Similarly, @heather.june83 chimed in and pointed out, “He wasn’t worried about that shirt, he was thinking about how many people he was missing out on saying hi to by being in that cart!”

@migdaliavill also commented, “He has more manners than some adults, he’s so adorable, handsome, friendly, and intelligent. I just love this baby. I want him. May God bless this beautiful family and keep them safe always.” @tembinate suggested, “Do you know someone needs his hug to feel that they aren’t alone in whatever they are going through. Please allow him to spread the love.” Another TikTok user, @alc.trophiezz, shared, “I have a baby sister and it’s so sad she waves at everyone and most of the time they just ignore her, so I always make sure to say hi or wave back to little kids.”

Meanwhile, in another hilarious toddler incident, parents asked their toddler not to watch the popular children's show, Ms. Rachel. But instead of crying and protesting, the little boy navigated through YouTube himself and chose the episode of the show that he wanted to watch. Since the screen was high for him to reach, he dragged a chair and climbed into it. This video was shared on TikTok by Mimi Emam, who goes by the username @cybersecuritygirlie8. As the video went viral, viewers filled the comment section with some praising the toddler for his smart thinking, while others shared similar incidents of their kids.
