A four-year-old boy in Prince George, B.C., is getting worldwide attention for a heartfelt conversation with his mom before bedtime one night.

Video captured by Jonisa Padernos shows her young son Aldie talking about the range of emotions he went through that day.

Aldie is talking to his mom about how his feelings were hurt when she wouldn’t take him outside, presumably to play.

“So that’s why I didn’t want to make a small choice,” Aldie says.

Parents will often give their children choices, which can be categorized as “big” or “small” for them.

“Earlier, I couldn’t go outside because I was still a little sad,” Aldie says.

“But that was a consequence,” Padernos explains, telling him that people don’t always get what they want.
