A light-hearted video has been making waves online, featuring a mother who cleverly coaxed her son into joining a marathon.
Despite her encouragement, the young boy was adamant about staying by his mum’s side rather than participating in the race.

Realising this, the mother decided to make a move—she began jogging down the race track, knowing her son would follow.

Sure enough, he sprinted right after her. As she picked up speed, he naturally kept pace, running alongside her without a second thought.
In a delightful twist, it was later revealed that the boy had inadvertently taken part in the marathon while chasing his mum—and, to everyone’s surprise, he actually crossed the finish line first, winning the race.
This charming clip has quickly gone viral, bringing joy to viewers who can’t help but smile at the unexpected outcome.

Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria earlier reported that a Nigerian mother living abroad has cautioned fellow mothers on the need to watch their kids especially when they go silent.
To confirm her point, she shared an experience with her twin children who suddenly went quiet at home.
