Parents will always wish that their baby utter their name first, and this father was no exception.
In the video posted to YouTube back in 2018, you’ll see this father reading “Your Baby’s First Word Will Be DaDa” by Jimmy Fallon to his son. The book is known as a secret weapon amongst fathers. The book features a variety of animals who say “dada,” hoping their offspring will repeat the word. Unfortunately for the animal dads, their babies are only interested in mooing, oinking and squeaking. The premise behind the book is that babies will associate the word “dada” with the fun animal sound effects, making them more likely to repeat it. The book is definitely aimed for children, but it also encourages fathers to read it to their kids simply so that they will learn to say “dada.” With a book like this one, storytime will never be the same as fathers have to imitate all different kinds of animals.
While Dad is reading, his son eagerly turns the pages of the book and squeals with delight at his dad’s excellent animal imitations. Then it happens. The baby turns to the camera and says his very first word: “mama.”
The boy’s mom, who thought she was recording a beautiful bonding moment between father and son, is heard laughing in the background. She clearly knew all along that “dada” didn’t stand a chance.
