Little Kennedy Kirkland believes she has a boyfriend. That's her story and she's sticking by it. Her dad, not so much.
All of two-years-old, Kennedy thought it was time to break the news of her romance to her parents. But like many young women's fathers, her dad Caleb isn't happy. "You don't have a boyfriend," he tells her in the viral video that documents their "heated" conversation.
The little girl insists that she does indeed have a boyfriend but her dad continues to tell her otherwise. "You're not allowed to have a boyfriend," he says. And alas, a meltdown follows, complete with tears and pouts.
"Daddy said I don't have a boyfriend," she tells her mum through her tears.
Prodded for a name, Kennedy names 'Jared' is her boyfriend. Now before you think Jared is a figment of the toddler's imagination, check this out.
"Jared is her uncle's roommate," mum Chelsea told ABC News. "He plays football in college, so we went to the game with my brother and she saw him there, so she informed us that he was her boyfriend. We thought it was so funny," she added.
Kennedy isn't really mistaken - Jared does love her:
And here's some photographic evidence provided by mum Chelsea:
Awww... we feel bad for poor little love-struck Kennedy now. "I'm sure this is the first of many arguments over boyfriends but we didn't expect the first one to be at two," mum Chelsea wrote on Facebook.
But dad Caleb is standing his ground. We'll just let you watch the video to find out what he has to say, although we agree with Mrs Kirkland - this is just the first of many more fights to come.
Kennedy came home last night and told her daddy she has a boyfriend and he told her she couldn't have one so she started crying! I had to video this! I'm sure this is the first of many arguments over boyfriends but we didn't expect the first one to be at 2! #daddysinforit #dramaqueen
