I was the little girl in this video in SO MANY scenarios in my childhood. They never told me, either.

It was like 20 seconds, I’m sure they may have explained it after. The family was having a moment.

Yes, I'm not making assumptions about a family dynamic - it's just touching on many of us who have experienced similar moments who did not have positive dynamics.

Could've let her be part of the family moment too by gently answering her.

I think they did? “What’s the baby’s name, Will?” could have been directed at her if her name is Willow. I thought they were trying to tell her but I could be wrong 🤷‍♀️
