One toddler had a very honest reaction when seeing some older pictures of her mom.
Sadie Clements, a 36-year-old Kansas-based mom, shared a hilarious clip on Instagram Reels, showing her daughter Phoebe's reaction to seeing her old pictures. The clip starts with the toddler closely examining the photos before the doting mom questions if she looks the same now as she did in the photos.
After looking up toward her mom, Phoebe honestly replies, "No, not really," causing Sadie to question what looks different about her.
"Well, you just look prettier in this picture," the little girl said, before continuing, "But, now you're not."

Sadie, who's also a mom to daughter Winnie with her husband Caleb Clements, tells PEOPLE that in the moment, her immediate reaction was to laugh.
"She [was] not wrong!" she says. "I was VERY newly postpartum in this video. I didn’t wear makeup- let alone look like I walked with the living."
After sharing the video on social media, the mom of two, who tells PEOPLE she found the pictures while looking at old files from her parents, started receiving comments from other parents talking about parenting and the "wild" things that their children have said to them.
"So many parents commiserating on parenthood and the WILD things our kids say to us," she says of the comments she's been receiving from fellow parents.
