Cute kissing toddler just won't take no for an answer

5/11/2012

Some guys just won't take no for an answer, as seen in this funny-slash-vaguely unsettling video that's touching a nerve on Twitter. A little boy approaches a little girl for a kiss. Sadly, he is rebuffed. Undeterred, he comes back for a hug. Again, she pushes him away. Does he give up? He does not. He returns again and again and again, apparently finding a game in her refusal. The best -- and simultaneously most heartbreaking -- part is when rejected more gently than previously, he plunks himself on the ground of his own volition. We hope these poor tykes aren't setting unhealthy relationship patterns for life. Marriage counselors, please stand by!

Should someone have intervened on the little girl's behalf?
