A video which surfaced on social media shows a little boy crying while innocently telling his mum that he wants a baby sister.

It all started with his mother telling to close his eyes that she has a gift for him. She then brought out cake and asked him to open his eyes.

However, his reaction was that of sadness as he broke down in tears, and said he wants a baby sister instead.

The boy’s request stunned the mother as she had no response to give him.
