Why this toddler's Dis-Chem refusal became Mzansi's new favourite moment

One person joked that the child had seen the prices, while another added that she hadn't forgotten about the immunisation. Some imagined she remembered a past visit that involved an injection or medicine. Others suggested more supernatural reasons for the child’s decision, with a few mentioning that kids can sense things adults can’t. Despite the wide range of theories, everyone was united in laughter.

While it’s unclear what exactly prompted the child’s reaction, whether she was simply tired, didn’t like the environment, or remembered something she wasn’t keen on repeating, her actions have earned her a place in the growing hall of Mzansi’s favourite toddler moments.
