Oh my goodness gracious. This little guy is going to make you laugh, cry and cheer. I am pretty sure he does all of that in his emotional response to a very simple question.
KTLA reporter Courtney Friel asks 4-year-old Andrew Macias if he is going to miss his mommy. It's his first day of school ever and the little guy is dressed adorably studious.
His response at first is, "No!" He bravely declares that he is a big boy who will not be missing his mommy. However, a second later, as the reality sinks in… no mommy for hours and hours and hours. Little Andrew begins to sob. His head in his hands, what a world!
The moment illustrates the beautiful bond between mother and child — like this infant who knows that his crocodile tears will get mommy's attention.
However, I think most of us can relate to that feeling of fear and excitement, of finally being a big kid and getting to go to school.
Leaving behind the mama bear is never easy, and we're sure if the reporter had asked her how she felt, her response wouldn't have been all too different.
Watch the adorable clip below and SHARE if Andrew's response takes you back to when you were a kid!
The first day of school brought mixed emotions for many students, including 4-year-old Andrew Macias, who spoke to us on his way to pre-kindergarten on Tuesday. When we asked Andrew if he would miss his mother during his first day at City Terrace Elementary School, the young man firmly said, "No." He paused a second and then began to tear up. Seconds later, Andrew's mom gave him a hug off camera.Andrew was among thousands of LAUSD students who filled classrooms Tuesday morning as summer vacation officially came to an end.
