Netizens worldwide have been praising a mother in eastern China for giving her son a taste of his own medicine by pouring water on him in the same way he did to his classmates at school.
The video, shared by the parent on Douyin (China’s version of TikTok), has been viewed 6 million times and shows the boy standing outside their apartment, pleading for his mother to stop as she repeatedly douses him using a small basin.
“Didn’t you say this was fun?” she asked, referring to the boy’s preferred method of pranking others: throwing water and milk cartons from a higher floor.
