Get ready for your heart to burst wide open after watching a new viral video featuring a little boy named Jax. The 4-year-old, who has Down syndrome, has earned a small but loyal following on TikTok, where his mom, Jessica Kusske, regularly shares videos of him around the house. But recently, a video of Kusske asking her son a simple question has captured the hearts of viewers everywhere — and we're willing to bet it'll capture yours, too.
The original clip was shared on September 30
Since then, it's been viewed more than 300,000 times.
@downiemomma Wrong answer kiddo!! #downsyndrome #cute #funny ♬ original sound – DownieMomma
"Hey, Jax? I have a question for you," his mama asks, as the little boy sits in his PJs and giggles.
But before Kusske can even get her question out, her 4-year-old interjects, mumbling, "I am so cute," as though he already knows what she was about to say.
Turns out, he was actually on the right track
"Yep, you are so cute!" his mom says, before asking him, "Who made you so cute?"
But if she expected her little boy to say "Mama," she was sorely mistaken.
"DADDY!" Jax shouts, without missing a beat.
Kusske immediately responds with amused shock.
"What!" she says. "Daddy?! Excuse me!"
Kusske captioned the post with, "Wrong answer, kiddo!"
But as the video continues, her son does try to smooth things over.
"You so cute, too," he says back, before blowing his mom a bunch of big, adorable kisses.
Comments immediately began flooding the post
"Oh man, he just made my morning!!!" one TikToker wrote.
"I literally cannot handle the level of cuteness here," another added.
"My heart is melting," someone else chimed in. "How adorable."
There might be a reason for his hilarious response

“Jax loves to watch videos of himself and repeat things,” the Minnesota mom recently told Fox News Digital. Because of that, Kusske had been asking him the question “Who made you so cute?” throughout the day, before she actually started to film him.
“He said, ‘mom’ every single time,” Kusske recalled.
But when she finally pulled out her phone and hit record, it happened to be right around the time Jax's dad was coming home — which apparently threw a wrench into things, and caused him to say, "Daddy."
Kusske is continuing to share sweet moments with Jax on TikTok
She posts under the handle @downiemomma, where she updates her followers regularly and hopes to spread joy and acceptance about Down syndrome.

"He's got quite a following!" Kusske told Fox News, of Jax's newfound "fame."
He certainmly does — and we're willing to bet that his following will only continue to grow.
