Dad and his identical twin mess with baby

Everyone knows that the reason people have babies is so that they can pull hilarious pranks on them, and what’s funnier than introducing your baby to your identical twin brother?

Stephen Ratpojanakul is the father of an adorable baby boy named Reed. Stephen also has an identical twin named Michael, and the brothers — who really do look exactly alike — thought it might be fun to mess with little Reed’s head for a bit. And film it. And post it to Facebook.

To begin, both men wear glasses. One holds the baby while the other stands nearby. Reed instinctively reaches for the other man and says, “Dada.” But as soon as he has been passed to the other brother, he reaches back for twin number one uttering the same, confused word: “Dada.”

Then one twin removes his glasses. “This must be dad,” thinks little Reed, and asks to be passed to the glasses-free brother. But then the other twin takes off his glasses too, and Reed immediately requests to be passed back.

Viewers certainly seemed to be fine with this lighthearted baby prank. The video was posted just five days ago, and has already surpassed 14 million views on Facebook.

“Omg this is hysterical. So precious/mean at the same time. I love it,” wrote one viewer.

“You guys are playing fast and loose with the glasses - he didn’t stand a chance,” said another.
