Keke Palmer calls herself a “Millennial diva” in her Twitter bio, so it’s no surprise that her 13-month-old son Leodis “Leo” Andrellton is so dramatic too. She just shared how her toddler has already started backtalking her, and the reason why has us rolling on the floor laughing.

On Thursday, the Nope star took to Twitter to share the funny story. “Omg my son just cussed me out in baby talk so bad,” she joked. “Because I wouldn’t let him play in the toilet.”

What’s up with kids wanting to play in the toilet?! My three sons were (and kinda still are) all the exact same. They’ve all played in the toilet at home and in public (*shudder*), so I’m not surprised AT ALL that Leo was doing the same. Babies don’t care one iota about germs, that’s for sure! He must have thrown a huge fit when she stopped him, and I would feel bad for her if I wasn’t so relieved to see that celebrity parents go through the same stuff we do (sorry, Keke!).

“You shouldn’t have been minding his business 😭” one person hilariously commented. Someone else wrote, “As he should have! How dare you take that experience away from him!🤣”

Others shares their own delightful toddler experiences. “Mine did last night because I wouldn’t let him play outside yesterday during a tornado warning.” Oh boy!

The “Ungorgeous” singer shares Leo with estranged ex Darius Jackson. Earlier this week, Palmer shared several adorable photos of her little guy, including one calling him the “best movie date” and joking, “I never loved anything I popped out my butt so much! 🥹”

Last month, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy star gave an update about her son in an interview with Us Weekly. “My son is very independent and I found out that I’m actually quite clingy and needy,” she quipped. “He doesn’t really care to be bothered with me too much. He does when he wants to, and he’ll be sitting there patiently waiting for the kisses to come in. But when he’s done with me, he’s done with me, and he really likes to do his own thing.”

“I love that my son is independent because I like that I know that he’s going to always be good,” Palmer continued. “He’s kind of like, ‘Mom, I got my own life going on.’ But also it’s like, ‘Baby, you’re only 1 year old. What kind of life could you have?’ And he’s like, ‘I’m watching Ms. Rachel. I’m playing with my trucks.’”

It’s a little heartbreaking, but at least playing with trucks is better than toilets, mama!
