Toddler Girl's Thick Boston Accent Is So On-Point People Can't Take It

Listening to a toddler talk is always pretty adorable, but there's something especially cute about a little kid with an accent. (Think about it: Would "Bluey" be quite so charming if Bluey and Bingo weren't Australian?) Of course, kids just talk the way they talk...they're usually not even aware that they sound like they're from a particular region (or not).

In a video posted on April 29, a toddler girl wants to go to the park. Except, she doesn't want to go to the "park," exactly—this kid happens to have a Boston accent, so she wants to go to the "paaahhhk." Is she really from Boston? It doesn't really matter. As comedian Mike Birbiglia says, all toddlers talk like they're from Boston anyway!

Hilarious! Commenters couldn't get enough of this clip from @thelau3 , and plenty of people had kids who spoke with similar inflections.

"MASSACHUSETTS ACCENTS ARE THE BEST!" wrote Naomi Redfern.

"We live in Oklahoma and my son had a Boston accent until he was like 5 lol," wrote christiedabasicbtch.

"My son (Wyoming baby) had a Boston accent until he was 10," wrote samanthascherf.

"My daughter had one! We are from Ohio and around that age she went from a British accent to a Boston accent," wrote kri_lei_ry.

"My 3 year old says 'baby shahk' we're also from MA," wrote Kay.

Sooner or later, most kids who aren't actually from Boston grow out of their "accents," though some need speech therapy to learn the correct pronunciation.

Why Do Some Kids Have Trouble Making the 'R' Sound?

"English has many sounds, but the 'r' sound is the most common ," according to Connected Speech Pathology.

"This is one of the last sounds that children learn to say. While the age of mastery varies, the /r/ sound is typically learned by 6-7 years old. The /s/ sound is also one of the last sounds to be mastered . Difficulty pronouncing the /s/ sound is also known as a lisp."

Experts aren't sure what causes rhoticism, but it could be linked to tongue-tie, which can limit the tongue's range of movement (this is very important for making the "r" sound). Kids sometimes also have disorders that affect mouth and lip placement.

While some kids eventually figure out how to say "r" on their own, a speech therapist can also help. Speech therapy generally involves a combination of teaching awareness (how the mouth articulates sounds), visual cues showing proper tongue placement, jaw-strengthening exercises, and drills.

Or you could just move to Boston!
