Dad is doing his best impressions of the beloved Disney favorites: Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy. And his silly voices delight his baby’s heart so deeply, the belly-laughter is completely uncontainable.
As soon as the wide-eyed baby relaxes under a blankie, nestled in Daddy’s arms for the entertainment of a story, the hilarious reactions start bubbling. With each up and down of Dad’s comical Disney character voices, this chubby-cheeked cutie thrills in amusement.
The baby’s board book, likely a favorite (as babies are known to have), is titled Mickey Mouse on the Ice. Naturally, this feels like a prime topic and storyline-with slippery escapades and buffoonery-for Dad to make the most of Disney’s animated antics.
The dopey, low tones of Goofy are punctuated with the spritely high squeaks of Minnie and Mickey. And it lights this child’s soul so completely with glee!
Out tumbles a cascade of smiles and the baby laughs hysterically. The joy exchanged between baby and Daddy is so instinctive and genuine, it’s simply contagious.
Baby Laughing Hysterically At Dad Goes Viral
Commenters on this viral video, with over 3 million views share, “This adorable baby is really impressed with daddy’s awesome voices during storytime.” One commenter says, “This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen! Lol.
Another adds, “Such a beautiful baby and amazing dad! A baby’s laugh immediately makes me smile regardless of how I’m feeling.”
And isn’t that why we read stories? To take us away from things we might be feeling before the story began, and release our emotions to the thrill of a tale. When we read to our babies, we fuel their imagination, and ours.
As this baby glances back and forth from the book to her father’s face, we sense a trust in the giver that’s reminiscent of childlike faith in God.
Utterly absorbed in Daddy’s expressions, this beautiful baby lets us snuggle up to the innate wisdom of children-that gladness is good for the soul.
