This is the adorable moment a four-year-old girl scolded her father - when she caught him drinking with friends in Canada.

Zamantha Neri's family was having guests over at their home, but the youngster didn't know that the adults would also have some beer in Vancouver on August 8.

So when she stepped out of the bedroom, the sassy daughter had to sternly warn her dad Nero Vidal Neri about asking permission to party.

Footage shows Zamantha standing by the doorway with her hands on her hips and asking her father: 'Why are you... without telling me first? I'm saying you haven't told me first… You first have to tell me if you're drinking!'

The cool father Nero then answered the girl with a 'sorry, sorry Zam,' from across the dining room table, and she seemed to have accepted it.

Nero asked his daughter: 'Tomorrow, can we drink again?' to which Zamantha answered: 'Yes, but really be careful.'
