When Jennifer's 4-year-old daughter began her routine nightly tantrum, she decided to try something new.
Every now and then our well-meaning little ones have big, emotional, inconsolable outbursts — during which you really can't do anything but laugh.
They are totally irrational, totally weird, and totally funny. These little kids can hardly stand to be at a boring grownup wedding, so they pretty much freak out in hysterical ways.
When Jennifer's daughter was getting ready for bed she refused to brush her teeth — for no good reason other than being 4 years old.
Jennifer told BuzzFeed it's, "that post-bath, pre-bedtime sweet spot that can bring out the worst if we let it get too late.”
Instead of using normal tactics to calm her little girl, she did something completely unorthodox.
She lip-synced to the cries of her daughter's outburst.
“I think the number of tantrums I’ve survived helped with my ability to predict her outbursts. She definitely gets into a rhythm,” she explained.
The results are pretty hilarious. I have to admit Jennifer's one very good lip-syncer.
