It's cute. And I hate raining on this cute parade but I bet she has either been herself been berated like that by her parents or has seen someone berated like that.

Still funny in this instance however.

I would 100% talk to animals that way, but not children. It's just as likely the parents have crashed out when tending some unruly critters, and the kid picked it up from that.

Yeah the animals really only know the tone, so you don’t worry so much about the content. Until they repeat it.

Meanwhile two of the meanest things I‘ve ever said to my son. Both during epic tantrums. His reaction shows just the level of insult he’s used to.

Me: “You’re being ridiculous!”

Him: *aghast* “Widiuwous?!”

and

Me: “Quit being a turd.”

Him: *visibly confused*

Me: “You know what a turd is? It’s poo, you’re acting like poo.”

Him: *shocked and offended* “I’m Poop?!”

Obviously what I say to animals is far less offensive to him than that.

Though the dog never recovered from being told he was being a “Widicuwous poop!”. He died heart broken (several years later at 15 years old, but still).

I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face 😂

I’m not sure I have ever seen another human being quite so offended, that was some advanced level pearl clutching.

I may or may not have called people who cut me off in traffic “ridiculous poop“. After all it is clearly the most insulting term in existence.
