A young girl in Florida, Baby Emma, aged 15 months, was awakened from her nap by her four older brothers who were singing their love for her. Despite their affection, Emma remained unimpressed. Her brothers, Bohdi (6), Branti (8), Jase (9), and Blake (12), adore their little sister, as shared by their mother Erica. The boys serenaded Emma in a video posted on Erica’s Tiktok account, @ericagbabyxo, where they sang “I love Emma” to the tune of “I Want Candy.” Emma’s deadpan reaction to the serenade amused viewers, as she looked at her mother with a disbelieving expression.

In the video, Emma’s brothers sang to her to wake her up, but she responded with a bemused expression. Erica and the boys laughed at her reaction and continued singing. Erica described the moment as waking up to her brothers singing to Emma, capturing her unsure reaction. Despite usually being sweet when waking up, Emma’s response to the singing was priceless and unique to her brothers.

Having a positive relationship between siblings is vital for children’s development, as highlighted by Parenting Focus. Activities that encourage teamwork, collaboration, and shared learning experiences can foster a strong sibling bond. TikTok users found humor in Emma and her brothers’ interaction, with the video receiving over 7.6 million views. Some viewers warned Emma about her brothers’ future antics, while others couldn’t help but laugh at Emma’s apparent exasperation during the impromptu serenade.
