You never know what kind of surprises your kids are gonna throw at you when you’re a parent…

And this mom got totally blindsided!

Her name is Nass and she posted a video featuring her nonverbal son…who had something pretty interesting to say when he decided to speak up.

The video’s text overlay reads, “When your kid has been nonverbal for so long, you don’t know to laugh or scold him.”

Nass said to her son, “Good job, my darling.”

And her son shocked her when he replied, “Good job, [expletive].”

Nass was shocked and she couldn’t help but laugh.

The boy tried to say it again.

Nass said, “No more!”

They both laughed together.

She then said, “That’s not funny. I don’t find you funny.”
