Here's the setting: the baby and his father are sitting on the couch having an intense conversation about whatever they're watching on TV. Everytime the baby goes off about something, the dad pretends to know what he's saying and quickly responds with excitement and phrases like, "Exactly what I was thinking!" and "Really? I thought the same thing." At one point, the father even asks his son his opinion on the plot and whether he understood something to which the baby responds with blabber and exaggerated gestures.

Besides the 57 million + views, the video has been shared over 1 million times and has over 300,000 comments. But the best part of all this is the fact that parents all around will get to see the importance of language and how speaking to your baby at any age is crucial.
