Mom Sharing Toddler's Hilarious Fake Tantrum Delights Viewers—'Drama Queen'

Children don't just look like mini versions of their parents, they act like them too! A little girl called Abigail has delighted the internet after her mom revealed that she is growing up to be just like her, a drama queen! In a video shared on TikTok in December, under the username @vanessa.reneeee, the hilarious toddler can be seen rolling on the floor, pretending to desperately cry dry tears as she doesn't get her way. The viral clip comes with a caption that says: "Pov: you created a mini version of yourself and now your husband has to deal with two drama queens that don't like being told no."

Abigail's mom, Vanessa, told Newsweek that the little drama queen is a year old and such a happy baby. She said: "She has become so popular on TikTok over the past few months because of her funny and dramatic facial expressions. Of course, like every baby, she has her moments of tantrums. We've been teaching her what no means and the video is her response to being told she can't have the TV remote. "I thought it was hilarious how she walked over to her dad after I told her no and she pretended to cry, so I recorded her. She rarely has tantrums, and when she does they are not long. We will wait for her to stop and then just switch her to a new activity." The Mayo Clinic defines tantrums as the expression of a young child's frustration with their limitations or anger about being unable to get their way. "Perhaps your child is having trouble figuring something out or completing a task. Maybe your child doesn't have the words to express his or her feelings," the website added. Moreover, the site explains that tantrums are not had on purpose, although for older children they may be learned behaviors. "If you reward tantrums with something your child wants—or you allow your child to get out of things by throwing a tantrum—the tantrums are likely to continue."
