One of the most tender and fun things that I have had to witness as a mother since my daughter goes to school, are the performances and dances that are organized for the different celebrations and commemorative dates of the year.
Sometimes, even if they have been rehearsing for weeks or months, children do not stop being children and put their touch and naturalness to these events. Such was the case of a two-year-old girl, who, just halfway through the birth of Jesus, decided that she should take the baby in her arms.
Tana Benson is the mother of the little girl in question, and who posted on her Facebook account the funny video in which we can see her two-year-old daughter, named Teegan, get out of her character and take the Child Jesus in her arms.
In an interview for ABC News, Tana says that Little Teegan is 'obsessed' with the Infant Jesus due to the Christmas season and could not help herself to take the doll in the middle of her performance, causing the laughter of those who were present during the dramatization.
But not everyone found it funny what Teegan did, who was disguised as a tender little lamb. Collia, the three-year-old girl who was representing 'Mary' the mother of Jesus, It bothered him that Teegan took the baby and taking his role as a mother seriously, went to retrieve it.
And although Collia managed to put it back in the manger to continue with the performance, Teegan took it again. So again Collia tried to take it off to put it in the manger, but now Teegan didn't let go and the little ones started fighting for the baby, causing an adult to intervene to separate them.
The mothers of both girls were sitting together during the play and at the time when all this happened, they started laughing so much that tears came out. At the end of the work, the mothers talked with the girls and Collia told them: “Teegan took the Baby Jesus, so he had to take it back. I didn't push her”.
Teegan and Collia are very friendly and love spending time together, although they have somewhat different personalities. Teegan's mother comments that Collia is very attached to the rules, so it was very funny because both girls were being true to their nature and were simply themselves. For her part, she believes that Teegan might have left the baby in her place, but that when she heard all the parents laugh, she decided to continue with the game.
No doubt naturalness and innocence is an essential part of children's personality when they are so young, and no day or situation is boring or equal to another when we are with them.
