A toddler who has been copying his Muslim teachers has gone viral on social media.
On April 8, Kylia Merrell posted a short video of her younger brother doing “something strange.”
“My brother has been doing this thing where he pulls a mat out of his diaper bag and lays on it like this and we couldn’t figure out what he was doing.”
Kylia and the family gave it a little more thought, and that’s when they realized where the tiny tot picked it up.
“A few of his teachers at daycare are Muslim and we realized he’s seen them pray and now he does it too. So precious.”
