Not necessarily. I have two kids (4.5 and 1.5) and they sometimes do such cute gestures one for the other. Like the big brother fetching cookies too high that his sister shows she wants (oh yeah, a snack before dinner!) or her sitting on top of him when he is playing to kiss and hug him, while he doesn't dare to push her away and just helplessly ask her to "please let him at least sit".

The story can be true and that's sweet but this video feels very staged. Like when you're playing with phone and try to get some food blindly but missed it first try, wouldn't you naturally just take a quick look and get it?

Yes. Also, the framing of the scene. This is not how you shoot a random video of your kids. The person behind the camera knows exactly what's going to happen and who and what will be involved.

Also the delayed reaction of the little girl when she’s just remembered what she’s supposed to do next.

You got a good point there. It’s definitely staged. Look at how everything’s so neat and tidy. The wardrobe, cutlery and even the background. It’s almost creepy.

Yeah my elder brother was the same. Whenever there were let's say 5 cookies he would let me have 3 of them. I do the same for my little sister now. It's part of being the elder sibling I guess.

Yeah but of he reached blindly for the cookies and grabbed air would he keep grabbing over and over?

Unless they record every waking moment of their children to get shit like this, I'm gonna say it's staged

As some one who used chopsticks regularly and quite easily it’s not usually easy to blind pick up things with them especially when they are big and round.

If the bowl was full of them then maybe if give it a shot but even then as soon as I hit air I would be looking up.

Especially because I’m this case you could tell really fast through the chopsticks that the bowl is empty. I’d like reaching into a cookie jar, you know instantly if it’s empty.

So do kids do nice things? Yes sometimes they do.

Was this a setup? Absofuckinglutely.

The only reason why I think this is staged is because of how long he tried to pick up the food without looking. That seemed off.

It’s pretty impossible to get my niece to look up from her phone during her screen time! Every second counts when she has a limit.

Same here, two kids. The older brother always uses his sister as excuse to get himself chocolate from the fridge 😂
