Toddler’s adorable reaction to dad shaving off beard is melting hearts all over the internet

If your child has never seen you without a beard on, it is almost certain that he or she will feel very emotional when you take it off.

Some people are shocked to see the face of an old man they don’t recognize, while others run away and refuse to look at them.

But that wasn’t the case with a youngster named Ellie. The little girl was shocked that her father, Arthur, actually agreed to remove her beard.

In a clip of their previous car conversation, Ellie told her dad, “I don’t like this,” while touching his beard.

“So what do I do?” asked Arthur.

“You take it off,” Ellie said. “I don’t like it.”

It turned out that the toddler completely forgot all about the talk.

Arthur removed his mask while riding in the car with Ellie to show his freshly shaved facial features. Her surprise was evident.

“Hey, why did you take it off?” she innocently asked.

“You said you want me to take it off,” her dad replied.

Then, she asks him questions only a toddler would be able to answer. But it seemed like there was one question she couldn’t let go of.

Again, Ellie asked her dad, “Why did you take it off?”

“Because you told me to,” Arthur responded.

“You’re so silly,” she said, giggling. “You’re so silly, Popsy.”

After that, Ellie seemed to have made peace with her dad’s new look.

“I like your face,” the girl said as she gently touched the part of Arthur’s face where his beard used to be. “Well, it’s so sharpy.”

We have no idea what “sharpy” means, but Ellie’s reactions are so adorable!

“You think I’m pretty?” Arthur asked, and Ellie gave him a heart-melting reply.

“Yeah, no. I think you’re handsome,” Ellie said. “And you’re beautiful!”

She continues to shower Arthur with compliments.

“I like it,” she added.

And after looking at her father straight in the eyes, Ellie said, “Whoa. I love you!”

Listening to her positive words, it’s clear that Ellie’s parents speak nothing but love and praises to her. It’s probably why she’s so good at giving compliments and growing up to be a very sweet kid.

Arthur captured their adorable exchange on camera and uploaded the clip to Instagram in December last year. It quickly became viral. It has been shared over 1.2million times and has received thousands of comments. Here are some of the viewers’ reactions.

“You can see they tell her often that she is pretty and beautiful and they love her.”

“Sweet baby girl, falling in love with daddy all over again.”

“That kid knows that compliments make people feel connected and loved and she wants her dad to feel that way. I love this.”

Isn’t this the cutest daddy-daughter talk ever? You can see their entire conversation in the video below.
