A Liverpudlian woman was left laughing hysterically when her baby niece, who can’t yet talk, ‘answered back’ when she was told it was bedtime – with the baby’s ‘Scouse accent’ making fellow TikTokers howl.
The minute-long clip, posted to TikTok, has racked up 15.8 million views in just three days, garnering more than 20,000 comments – almost all of them celebrating the baby’s ‘gibberish in a Scouse accent’.
The clip sees TikTok user Olayka ask her niece Orla: ‘Do you want to go to sleep?’
The baby appears to have understood the question and seemingly answers directly with a shake of the head and what sounds like ‘No’ in a throaty Liverpudlian accent.
Olayka then asks: ‘Why don’t you ever want to go to sleep?’
When the baby again shakes her head and babbles, the aunt imagines her niece is saying it’s because she has energy.
The battle over bedtime continues with Olayka telling Orla that she’s prepared everything for her, including her bottle and teddy.
The aunt adds: ‘And then you started kicking off’.
At that point, the baby reacts with more babble in what sounds like a distinctly Liverpudlian accent.
The entertaining – and incredibly cute – clip becomes even funnier when the aunt appears to be trying to negotiate with her niece.
She says: ‘We’ve had a nice day together and now you’re kicking off now.’
As the baby hilariously shakes her head and continues to ‘answer back’, Olayka mimics Orla’s movements before saying: ‘But you need to go to bed because you’re only a baby.’
