Jennifer Closson Aprea recorded a lip-sync version of her 4-year-old daughter’s tantrum, featuring variations of the word “no” and plenty of shrieks.

Aprea uploaded the video to YouTube, where it has generated nearly half a million views.

While Aprea has taken some heat for posting the video, the mother and entrepreneur says she was just trying to diffuse a stressful situation with humor.
