Alas, the boys motor skills arent quite up to the task. He sputters and spits in the vicinity of the flame, but without coordinating the proper pucker and air direction, its not meant to be. - photo by Martha Ostergar
PARTY TOWN Ah, growing pains. Can live with them, cant grow up without them.

Thats certainly the lesson that the boy in this video is learning on his second birthday. As his birthday cupcake is placed before him, candle a lit, he valiantly tries to blow it out to make all his birthday dreams come true.

Alas, the boys motor skills arent quite up to the task. He sputters and spits in the vicinity of the flame, but without coordinating the proper pucker and air direction, its not meant to be.

Luckily for the boy, and many of us when we were wee, dad is there to come to the rescue with an ingenious plan to help junior with his birthday problems.

Even though this boy clearly has #BirthdayProbs, he bears his trials with a surprising patience and cheery attitude that defies all terrible 2s stereotypes. Frankly, its probably because he has his eye on the prize and his priorities straight. After all, as soon as he completes his task, he gets to eat delicious birthday cake, so theres really nothing to be upset about.

As a particularly delicious bonus, the boys parents will not be sued by Warner/Chappell Music Inc. for copyright infringement, since a judge just ordered the company has no claim on the Happy Birthday song.
