The trope of an "evil twin" is a common joke, but the baby's actions in this viral video may just make you believe it's true.
Connecticut-based mom Cami Boehme runs an account on TikTok called Boehmetwins covering the shenanigans of her twin children, Jack and Ivy.
She shared a video on July 31 which has since gone viral on the app, showing how her baby son Jack threw a bottle at his sister in the middle of the night.
In the clip—which begins with text reading: "A rude awakening"—a nighttime camera captures footage of the two twins lying in their cots, which are situated next to one another.
We can then see Jack, under the cover of darkness standing up and waddling to the end of his cot, before launching his bottle at his sleeping sister's head.
Ivy then clutches her head, and stirs awake in shock, prompting Jack to lie back down, pretending that he was not the perpetrator.
Boehme captioned the post, writing: "When you wake up with a headache and don't know why ... #boygirltwins #twinbabies #bgtwins #naptime."
