Ava and Alexis are adorable twin sisters who look the same, dress the same, speak the same, and they even know how to give you the same doe-eyed look.

But one thing that isn’t exactly the same is the time they were born.

Ava was born only a minute before Alexis, but when she first learned of this fact, Alexis did not take too well to finding out her sister is “older.” In a priceless video that has gone viral, Alexis begins crying once their mother, Ami, confirms that she was indeed born after her twin sister.

“Ava was born one minute older than Alexis; one minute,” mom Ami says in the video. “But I want to be older,” Alexis says — a clear sign of sibling rivalry at play. A little further into the video, it becomes clear that she still hasn’t figured out if this information is worth a full cry.

“You’re one minute younger, you don’t have to cry,” her mother says, trying to let her know that being older doesn’t mean she is bigger. Her sister Ava does the same and even adds in a hug for good measure to comfort her sobbing sibling. “I want to grow,” Alexis cries.

The roles then reverse once the three-year-old cuties realize that Alexis is actually taller!
