A lighthearted scene was captured in a video of two children, a little boy and a girl trying to play with a catfish.
The children’s attempt to hold the slimy animal turned hilarious when the catfish wiggled violently startling them into running away.
The video recorded the catfish in a big bowl when the little girl attempted to approach the catfish so she could feel the skin while the boy observed from a distance.
As the girl stretched her hand, the catfish began waggling its tail fiercely in the bowl, prompting the girl to flee into the other room while the boy displayed his energetic persona by clinging to an adult’s arm for support.
Even though the catfish was harmless, the children transitioned into survival mode and took to their heels.
The video has generated hilarious reactions from many mocking the children’s surprising display to avoid the catfish.
While some netizens highlighted the boy’s action of showcasing his inner comic character Spiderman, others wondered where the girl must have hidden within seconds.
See reactions below,
@SitoEmmy Those children might be scared of water for life
@lidocaine___ Not the way he clung to his mother for his dear life
@monsieurshyne1 Lolol Dude turned to spidy
@Oge_chukwu_ The boy turned to spiderman, the girl even vanished. They think it’s by watching Baby Shark on tv. They have seen baby shark’s relative in real life and they’re running away.
@MadukaChidera3 Where did the girl go to abeg? Reflexes too sharp joor
@achillzisking The human instinct to survive, you could see it wasn’t just a fish to them, they sensed danger.
