Dad's 'Chat' With Infant Son Goes Viral
By Kynala Phillips · Updated October 23, 2020

A video of a dad having a full-blown conversation with his baby boy is melting the internet’s heart.

Shanieke Pryor shared a video of her husband DJ Pryor and 19-month-old son Kingston Jierre commenting on an episode of Empire, according to USA Today.

Kingston is sitting next to his dad with his legs crossed, while expressively chatting about the episode with his dad who’s sitting right next to him.

“You understand it though,” said DJ to his son. “Nah,” Kingston responds. The baby continues to ask his dad questions in gibberish and use his hands to convey his thoughts. Professional comedian DJ continues talking to his son normally as if he knows exactly what he is saying.

“Only this child! Having a full-fledged conversation with Daddy and Daddy is just as bad,” read the caption of the original video.

The viral video received over a million shares after two days of being posted on Facebook, Pryor told USA Today.

“We just gave everybody a glimpse of what happens all the time,” said DJ.

The daddy-son duo are very much in sync and it shows in the video as DJ quickly discerns what his toddler is trying to say.

In a video posted to Instagram, DJ said that Kingston “knows he’s famous right now.”

“You are like the most famous baby in America right now, maybe even in the world,” said DJ to his son. “You gone say hi?”

“Hiii,” said Kingston with a big smile on his face.
