California dad has incredible reaction when son chooses doll for birthday gift

As this heartwarming video shows it wasn’t an Action Man or a Caped Crusader that caught young Isaiah Willis’ eye, but a Little Mermaid Barbie doll.

He told his son they would go to the store and exchange one of them for a toy that he didn’t have.

At the time this was posted, the video, which first was posted on August 21, had been shared 180,000 times and viewed more than 10 million times.

In a new video posted on his Facebook page, his dad Mikki holds up the doll, asking sternly: ‘How do you think a dad feels when his son wants to get *this*?’ Choose your sexuality. Choose whatever.’ You have my promise right now, both of you, as we sit in this auto, this hot vehicle in this parking lot.

Willis said he was also grateful for all the attention and positive support his video has received. “My boys fill my wife and I with so much joy that it would be selfish of us not to share them”.

How would you feel if your son chose this?? He did, however, have a “reaction” to the Ariel doll. “I kind of smiled, and the guy in the toy store smiled and we said ‘Alright, cool!'”

“I really wasn’t shocked at all because he’s equally fascinated by princesses and robots and I think that’s really behavior”, Willis said. “The honest answer is, it didn’t surprise me at all”. One moment he’s all boy, the next he’s expressing a softer, more angelic side, ‘ he said Monday on Facebook.
