A new trend has emerged on TikTok, showcasing the humorous and sometimes less-than-intelligent antics of beloved pets. Dubbed the ‘look at my son’ trend, it features a snippet of the song “Dear Theodosia” from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical Hamilton.
The trend revolves around pet owners sharing moments when their furry, feathered, or scaled companions exhibit unexpected, unintelligent, or downright wild behaviors. As Miranda sings, “look at my son/pride is not the word I’m looking for/there is so much more inside me now,” TikTok users showcase their pets at their silliest, capturing the essence of their endearing but often perplexing actions.
While the trend prominently features cats, it extends to various pets, including dogs, birds, and even reptiles. The videos highlight the joy and amusement pet owners find in celebrating the less-than-brilliant moments of their beloved animal companions.
The ‘look at my son’ trend encapsulates the universal experience of pet ownership, where the unconditional love and companionship offered by pets often come with a side of quirky and entertaining behaviors. In the end, it’s a lighthearted acknowledgment of the delightful chaos that pets bring into their owners’ lives.
