- Oh, what's that? - Yoo-eez.
- What is that? - Chez.
- Cheese? - Yeah.
- Do you like cheese? - Yeah.
- Yeah? Do you like to eat cheese?
- Yeah. - Do you like cheese
more than lollipops? - Yeah.
- Yeah? But you're eating it with the plastic on.
- Oh, is it the throw the cheese at your baby thing?
- I saw a headline, something about there's some guy
who threw cheese on babies' faces or something and then he apologized
that it's a thing now. - I have seen sort of
the internet sensation that's taking place right now
where people are throwing cheese at their children.
Mixed feelings about the whole situation.
Think it's pretty funny. Probably doesn't harm them.
- (FBE) There has been a viral trend called the Cheese Challenge,
where parents prank their babies by throwing cheese at their faces.
- (laughs) What?
Oh, lord. - Awww.
We've played catch with stuff, but to purposefully throw at the face
seems a bit harsh. - Throwing a piece of cheese
on her face doesn't really seem that exciting or fun.
It feels a little mean just because, I don't know,
would you want cheese thrown on your face?
- I would probably laugh if I saw it,
but if somebody was like, "Hey. Here, throw this cheese
at your baby," I would be like, "No."
I think if I did that to her, she would probably look stunned
and then begin to cry. And then I would feel really bad.
- Before I was a dad, I would've thought it was hilarious.
Now that I have my own child, I don't think it's as funny.
I wouldn't want to throw cheese at his face,
because he trusts me so much right now.
He's the only person in the world who actually trusts me.
So, the last thing I wanna do is prank my own child.
Eventually, though... - Yeah.
- Yeah, you'll get pranked heavily by daddy soon, right?
- (FBE) Let's just show you a couple and see what you think.
- Okay. - (man) Griff.
- (laughs) - (Griff laughs)
- I mean, it's cute when he giggles at the end.
- He found it funny, so it's a little less--
you know, if it's a playful thing, I can see that.
It didn't hurt, obviously. (chuckles) All right, boy-o.
You're gonna mutilate that cheese.
- He's not impressed. - (snickers)
- (laughs) - (chuckles) You liked that one?
- Aww.
(laughs) No. This is not okay.
That little baby was looking so confused,
like, "Are you gonna feed me the cheese
or are you just gonna throw it on my face?"
Then it's like, "Dad, why did you do that?"
It's not even good cheese. - I could definitely see that
being her reaction, just kind of like...
"Why, Dad? What was that for?"
- The babies seem to be taking it in pretty good stride.
They seem to be enjoying it. - Ma! Ma!
- Liam seems to love this stuff, so he's become a big fan
of cheesing babies in the face. Would you want Dada
to put cheese on your face. - Yeah.
- Yeah? But you've ate all the cheese.
- Look, baby. - Ah!
- Okay.
- (man chuckles) - Again, not really thrilled with it.
- (snickers) No! No, no, no, no, no!
I don't know why people are doing this.
- I wonder why we didn't get to see the reaction.
It feels like there was something, maybe even a meltdown
that happened right after that one.
- I think the first one was kind of heartwarming.
The second one was funny, 'cause he just really didn't get it.
I feel like the third one was almost tragic.
He was just kind of like, "Why would you do this to me?"
- If your baby has the proper temperament for this,
then it's fine. I do think, though,
that as a parent, though, you shouldn't be doing jokes
at your kid's expense, I think, until they're able
to participate in the joke, 'cause right now
he would have no idea. If I threw cheese at his face,
it would be at his own expense, and I'm not a fan of that,
even though I am a big prankster. - Ma! Ma!
- (FBE) And now, we have to ask, would you ever do this to your baby?
- No. I don't think the reactions are funny enough.
- Probably not. Unless he asked me to.
(laughs) As soon as he says, "Hey, Dad, will throw you cheese
on my head?" I'd think about it.
But until then, it just seems not my kind of thing.
- I do not see myself throwing cheese on my daughter.
I don't think it is the kindest thing to do.
I think there's a lot better ways to get a laugh out of your child
and for yourself. Part of me, deep down inside,
would-- kind of wants to. But I couldn't do it.
I don't think I could do it. (wheezing laugh)
- Take two. You can see how much
my child likes to eat. - Yeah! (laughs)
- (laughs) Cheese! - Cheese.
- Liam, would you want me to put cheese in your face?
- Yeah. - Yeah? Would Mama want me
to put cheese in your face? - Yeah.
- I don't think so. I think this guy's
got too much respect for himself clearly.
After eating lollipops off the floor and multiple things
of Kraft American Singles, he and I would like to pass
on cheesing. - Xoa, can I throw this cheese
in your face? Why don't we sit down right here?
Why don't we sit down right here? Don't throw yourself back.
Sometimes, she likes to-- - (baby fussing)
- No? You don't want me to throw cheese in your face?
I don't think she wants me to do it.
I'm not gonna do it. I think that if there wasn't,
you know, so many lights and pressure and she didn't just
watch videos of it happening, and I kind of just caught her unaware
in the kitchen, you know, then it probably could work
and be funny. But I think she started
getting distressed, and I think that's mean
to throw cheese in a crying baby's face.
- I wanna see his reaction. Let's see.
- (baby fussing)
- Look, Kota.
(laughs)
Let's see. (laughs) You can't look down.
Ah! - (baby fussing)
- (giggles) Okay, okay. Here, here.
You can have it now. You can have it.
You're gonna put it on your head?
On your head?
Thank you. - Here, you can't eat that.
I mean, you gotta let go. I'm gonna throw it in your face.
All right-y. Are you ready?
Are you ready?
(whispers) You're not supposed to be ready.
Oh. (laughs)
Here.
(laughs)
♪ (somber music) ♪
What's on your face? What's on your face?
(laughs)
Nothing? Now you're just gonna eat it?
- (FBE) What do you think about babies being part
of a viral trend? - I don't know.
I think there's a lot to kind of unpack there,
because I think as children get older and they're kind of thrusted
into the spotlight, I think that can be
sort of detrimental to their psyche sometimes, unfortunately.
And Xoa thinks so, too. - (laughs)
- I could see some people being like, "Well, I don't really want
my baby to be-- you know, a lot of people
seeing the baby," but at the same time
then you're posting the video, so I figure it's fine probably.
I think it's totally fine. At least, that particular trend. (laughs)
- I guess it depends on what it is. I'm all about respect
and dignity for her. Even though she's small,
she deserves that. So, I just try to think about that
before I try to get a laugh off of her.
- Keeping good spirits with the baby. Remember, the baby isn't a reason
to get a likes. If he is behind it, then fantastic.
If he does something that he's really happy with,
or she, or they, then wonderful.
But, you know, if you're doing something at the expense
of your kid, that just seems kinda mean.
- If the trend is not at the baby's--
Liam! - (squeals with laughter)
- If the trend is not at the baby's expense,
then it's okay! - (giggles)
- Right? - (muffled) Yeah.
- Yeah? - (FBE) And then what are
some fun pranks or silly things you have with your baby?
- I mean...
really just peek-a-boo at this point.
She's a pretty tough nut to crack. She is deadpan.
Where's daddy? Ah-bee!
Nope. She is into everything else. (chuckles)
- She's just so happy all the time.
There's not a lot that we've done to her. (laughs)
You like singing, right? Sing ♪ The itsy bitsy spider ♪
♪ Went up the water spout ♪ Oh, you're just obsessed with cheese.
Never mind. (laughs)
- (claps) - Good clapping.
Sometimes, she'll lay on her back, and she'll let me mess with her.
And she just thinks it's hilarious. Yes. Right.
She's corroborating my story.
Ahh! (blows raspberries)
(laughs) (blows raspberries)
- Liam, what is your favorite thing the world?
- Bwoom. - Brooms.
So, he loves brooms. He makes us film him
performing things with his broom. And then his favorite thing to do
is then watch his performances with the brooms.
Who's this? - Bwoom.
- Broom.
- (Kyle) What are you holding? - (Liam) Bwoom.
- (Kyle) A broom and what else?
- (Liam) Mop. - (Kyle) A mop?
- Broom and a mop. - (Kyle) And are we
gonna watch this later? - (Liam) Ehhh!
- (Kyle) Bye! - What'd you think?
Great movie. 10/10? - We do animals together.
You want me to do a horse? (neighs)
You just gonna smile? What about a duck?
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.
- (giggles) - (chuckles) Quack, quack,
quack, quack, quack. - (laughs)
- Quack, quack? - (muffled) Woof, woof, woof.
- Ooh. Okay. You wanna do a dog?
Woof, woof, woof. Woof, woof.
- (giggles) - (laughs)
Woof, woof. - (giggles)
- (FBE) So, what do these moments of laughter with your baby mean to you?
- It means a lot, because they grow so fast.
It's very special. They're special moments
that, of course, you won't get again with the same baby.
- Oh, they're just adorable. And I love when she does it,
'cause she's happy, and I like my baby to be happy.
- It makes the bond feel, you know, a little closer
between us that I can get her to laugh in certain ways
compared to anybody else. She's understanding more and more
who I am to her. - They're lifeblood.
They're why I did it. They're entirely something that I've--
I even tried to catch a couple of 'em on video,
because I wanna remember 'em. - (baby cooing)
- Yeah, you got a lot to say, boy-o?
- They're priceless. You know, there's nothing else
that I think any parent has that's like the joy
that you feel when you're bonding and just sharing those intimate,
you know, moments with your child. It's incredible.
- These fun moments with Liam really mean everything.
I can't believe how quickly he's growing up.
So, any moment that I get to spend with him is really special for me.
- Cheese! - (laughs) Cheese.
