Cristina and her husband thought a fake tongue prank would get a few laughs, but their toddler’s reaction made it unforgettable.

Their son unknowingly pulled the clip off his dad’s fake tongue, only to see the entire “tongue” come off in his hands. His reaction was instant: shock, concern, then full-blown panic.

Desperate for reassurance, he pleaded for his dad to open his mouth, fearing the worst. But as soon as his dad revealed the prank, relief washed over him.

His laugh is pure, contagious joy that turned initial horror into comedy gold.

My husband and I ordered a fake tongue to prank our two toddlers. Only our son decided to pull the clip off the tongue not knowing it was fake. When he pulled it the entire tongue (fake) came with it and he freaked out. He experienced all of the emotions, his initial reaction was scared/concerned. Then he became worried and panicked. He begins to scream for my husband to open his mouth. Then my husband shows him it was a prank by showing him his real tongue. You can then see how he relieved he is, and what caught the audience was his adorable contagious laugh at the end.
