We’ve all been there.

One minute, you’re having a lovely conversation and everything seems to be going swimmingly. Then you suddenly say the wrong thing and your friend is doing everything they can to fight back the tears.

This KTLA news reporter made that exact mistake when she was interviewing little Andy about his first day at school.

Everyone knows that the one thing you don’t do with a child on their first day of school is remind them how much they miss their mommy. Clearly nobody briefed this reporter, as she is clearly seen saying exactly the wrong thing to poor little Andrew.

The poor kid didn’t know where to look when the tears came and the reporter just kept her smile wide and hoped for it to stop. Pretty hilarious all round and don’t worry Andy, it gets easier, we promise!
