Mateo’s convincing case: He doesn’t need to eat dinner because he already ate lunch. Instead, he should get to eat cupcakes, which were hidden in his grandmother’s house. When Mom said no, Mateo tried to ask Grandma. But Beltran scolded him for circumventing her, and she recorded his reaction, which has had nearly 1.3 million views on YouTube since it first aired in mid-February. Part of what makes Mateo so convincing is that he calls his mom by her first name and reasons like an adult. He closes his eyes, and gestures, and puts his hand on his hip, saying “Listen, listen, listen, Linda.”
