2-year-old innocently mocks a Boomer throwing a tantrum at grocery store winning hearts online

While we aim to respect older generations like Boomers, they can be a bit much at times. The internet is full of Boomer meltdowns that often leave everyone else amused. One such incident took place at Walmart, where a mom, u/thats-the-tea_sis on Reddit, was grocery shopping with her 2-year-old daughter. The real comedy kicked in when her toddler hilariously mocked a yelling Boomer, nailing the impression. Everyone in the store—and later online—couldn't help but laugh at the child's quick wit.

During a grocery run with her toddler, the mom noticed a woman checking out in front of her. The woman's Boomer husband who was at the customer service desk, came back looking really dissatisfied with something. He started yelling at the customers, "Don't buy apple juice at Walmart! Walmart stinks! They won't listen to the apple juice recalls! Walmart stinks!" He was so loud that his voice started echoing through the supermarket. The toddler's mom was also among the several confused customers about the Boomer man's frustration but soon the confusion turned into amusement. 

Turns out, the 2-year-old found the man's yelling so hilarious that she had to mock him right away. "My toddler hears this and all of a sudden yells at the top of her lungs, 'Gaw-wah maw!' and laughed. Took me a second to realize, but it was the same cadence as his last sentence, just not the words. She legit just mocked this guy," the mom wrote in her post. She was both shocked and tickled by her toddler's mockery. "The cashier looked at me and we were both trying not to laugh because, I mean, it was hilarious," the mom mentioned. However, she felt the need to teach her little one that it was wrong to mock someone and told the 2-year-old, "Baby, no, not right now, not the right time."

You’d think the toddler’s mockery might have angered the Boomer, but luckily, he didn’t hear her—and his wife, who probably did, chose to ignore it. "I get up to the register. I'm checking out and the cashier says to me, 'She is adorable,' nodding at my kid. I'm like, 'Yeah, she's cute until she gets me beat up in the parking lot by a geriatric,'" the mom quipped. In the end, the whole incident became an unforgettable experience for the mom and she hopes to always remember this "comedy gold." Many on the internet felt the same about the toddler's hilarious timing.  

"This is what I love about toddlers - they have no filter about cutting through what they see as b******t," said u/SuperElectricMammoth. "As a mom, I can totally believe this happened. As an Auntie, I would have bought her any candy she wanted right then. Toddlers are hilarious and they all come up with new ways to embarrass their parents. They are little geniuses," gagged u/deedeejayzee. "I mean, I get why he was mad probably and not going to hold it against him but this whole situation is funny including him ranting while holding half a bottle of apple juice and your kid copying him," added u/seattleseahawks2014.
