A mother named Shanee Gibson Hart of Fort Lewis, Washington, posted a [video](https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=745598825497782&pe) on Facebook and YouTube describing the moment she told her son Tré and daughter that they are going to have a new sibling, and the news sends her son off on a tirade that would make Gordon Ramsey blush. “What were you thinking?!” he wails. “It’s too much!

You keep loving them forever not having another baby!” Tré yells from the back seat. His mother assures him that his parents will love him and his little sister forever, which temporarily calms the kid. The détente is broken, though, when his mother points out that his baby sister looks happy about the news and the boy realizes he has a very important question to ask: Pointing his finger at his mom, he demands to know, “What kind of baby is it?” His mother patiently talks him down, and the boy finally concedes that the baby can exist, but only on one condition: “Buy me some earplugs.” **MORE**: [Here’s The World’s Fastest Dog on Two Paws](http://time.com/3195860/jiff-worlds-fastest-dog/) **MORE**: [This Lamb Bouncing Gleefully Down a Hallway Will Remind You That Everything’s Gonna Be Okay](http://time.com/3206306/lamb-bouncing/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3207352/boy-says-pregnant-mom-is-exasperating/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3207352/boy-says-pregnant-mom-is-exasperating/"},"headline":"Little Boy Finds The Idea of His Mom Being Pregnant Simply \"Exasperating\" in Adorable Video","datePublished":"2014-08-28T19:27:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:40.441Z","description":"\"What were you thinking?!\"","url":"https://time.com/3207352/boy-says-pregnant-mom-is-exasperating/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Parenting","viral","Videos","Viral Videos","Children and Families"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3207352/boy-says-pregnant-mom-is-exasperating/","name":"Little Boy Finds The Idea of His Mom Being Pregnant Simply \"Exasperating\" in Adorable Video"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Elements of A Viral Video","description":"5 Elements of A Viral Video","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/vgQtqA8c/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-22T13:42:30.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/vgQtqA8c.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3207352/boy-says-pregnant-mom-is-exasperating/","duration":"PT1M31S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3207352/boy-says-pregnant-mom-is-exasperating/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
