Kid annoys parent comedy skitfrom @_devontewest
[01]
Overview
The creator plays two roles: an exhausted parent seeking peace and an energetic child. The parent is shown in a state of distress, while the child enters, loudly playing music on a tablet and persistently trying to get the parent's attention to watch them dance. After being ignored and then finally acknowledged, the parent becomes stern, scolds the child for being annoying, and sends them away.
