A New York mom who expected to film a cute moment between her two children was shocked by what she recorded instead.
While Katie Ingalls was drawing her baby a bath, she left her on the floor with her 4-year-old son, Noah.
"I heard them giggling and thought I would catch a cute moment of them playing together," she told Newsweek. But Noah had other plans—he decided to "help out" by dragging his sister, Guinevere, to the bath himself.

"It took me a second to know what was going on," Ingalls said. "I gasped and then saw that no one was crying or hurt, and he was pulling her slowly, so I laughed because it was goofy and cute for him to want to help in that way."
...
As Ingalls rounded the corner with her phone ready, she saw Noah dragging his baby sister by her feet across the floor. The giggling, Ingalls discovered, was Noah finding the whole thing hilarious.
With a four-year age gap between them, Noah knew he wasn't supposed to pick his sister up, "so he decided to drag her," Ingalls said.
The mom of two posted the footage on Instagram (@katieingalls0) and captioned the clip: This is what having an older brother is going to be like for her.
Ingalls' clip has been viewed over 5 million times and has received over 950 comments. Many parents found it hilarious.
"As a mom of 4 boys, this does not phase me like it does everyone else," one Instagram user wrote.
"The look on her face says this is not the first time," another person commented.
"The baby looks entirely unbothered by the shenanigans," a third user said.
On the other hand, some users criticized Ingalls, claiming that it wasn't safe for Guinevere to be pulled by her legs.
Ingalls told Newsweek that she spoke to Noah about not doing that to little Guinevere again—and he hasn't since.
Although the scene looks chaotic, Ingalls said that Noah and his sister have the best sibling bond.
"He is so gentle and playful and helpful, and she loves him too. She's always smiling and laughing with him. He is so good [at] calming her down. I am so glad they have each other and can't wait to continue to see their relationship grow."
