California mom Jennifer Closson Aprea has become an Internet sensation after uploading a video to YouTube of her lip-synching her 4-year-old daughter’s temper tantrum.
When reasoning had failed and tiredness had got the better of both mom and daughter, Aprea began to record herself masterfully lip-synching her child’s cries.
“I figured it might just make her laugh and diffuse the situation so we could both get some sleep,” she told the Huffington Post.
Aprea, a teacher and entrepreneur, is no stranger to Internet fame, as last year a video of her son hearing for the first time after getting fitted with a cochlear implant went viral.
