We really don’t mean to laugh at the sight of a little boy crying. We really don’t want to be that cruel.
But.. we’re very sorry… we simply can’t help it. Here we go: LOL!!!!
In the following video, a reporter for KTLA is conducting an interview with four-year old Andrew Macias, asking whether or not Andrew will miss his mother when he starts pre-kindergarten.
No, the toddler says at first, laughing along with the journalist.
But then the reality of the situation sets in… and Andrew totally loses it (around the one-minute mark).
We only laugh because we know Andrew will be okay, that this is a typical reaction for any very young man going off to school for the first time.
So it’s okay. You can go ahead and feel guilt-free over the latest hilariously awkward moment in live news reporting. It doesn’t make you a bad person.
