An Irish mother's wholesome teaching lesson with her toddler has racked up over 10 million views online after the lesson took what appeared to be an f-bomb turn in a hilarious clip.
Andrea McCarragher, who boasts over 25,000 followers on TikTok and a further 20,000 on her Instagram, posted the two-minute clip to TikTok last Sunday and it has since been viewed over 10.8 million times, garnering over 1.9 million likes on the popular video sharing platform.
Having practiced colours with her daughter Cali, Belfast mum Andrea was keen to showcase the day's teachings. The clip begins with Andrea pointing to a pink background on a book cover and asking her daughter what colour it is.
Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your outlook, the toddler replies, "F... f... f**k," much to Andrea's horror.
Thinking it was a once-off, Andrea tries again but to the same hilarious outcome. Another try later and Cali successfully identifies pink, yellow, green and blue before the expletives return.
Andrea swears in the video that her daughter has never done that before and apologises to her followers.
@andreamccarragher I am ☠️.. i still can’t believe this has happened.. #toddlersoftiktok ♬ original sound - Andrea McCarragher
In a follow-up video posted a day later, a guilt-ridden Andrea clarified the mix-up.
It turns out that her daughter was actually saying "f... f... frog", as she had learned in an educational video earlier that day, but the result sounded closer to the expletive alternative.

"The guilt right now is eating me up. I appreciate the love and I'm sorry to piss on anyone's parade, but my child was saying frog, not f**k," Andrea said.
Either way, over 10 million people got a good laugh out of their lesson!
