Ethiopian Boy Throws Tantrum for Wanting to ‘Be Mexican,’ Internet Asks He Gets Honorary Nationality

 

                 

Growing up, you may have wanted to live under the sea like The Little Mermaid, or have curly hair, or even be a super-cool secret agent like Kim Possible (okay, all we wanted was a naked mole rat like Rufus).

Yes, kids sometimes want the impossible — and one adorable four-year-old boy on TikTok proves it.

 

                      

Gebre explains to him, “You’re Ethiopian, you’re African, you’re Black. Okay?”

His reply? “I want to be Mexican,” starting out the cutest tantrum we’ve ever seen.

However, he’s not having it. The mother asks her son in the car, “Why do you want to be Mexican?”

He explains to her, “Because I eat quesadillas.” Who’s going to argue with him?

                                                    

The mother, noticeably giggling, asks, “Because you eat quesadillas? That’s why you want to be Mexican?”

“Yeah.”

Later, the four-year-old asserts he does “not want to be from African anymore” because he “wants to be Mexican.”
