Four-year-old has extraordinary talent! This boy's jaw never drops

USA - The words of a proud mother: "I am convinced that I have raised a genius," wrote Alyssa Ciccotto on a TikTok clip featuring her son Joseph (4). But she is not alone in her opinion - the internet is also enthusiastic about the little man's special talent!

Alyssa probably didn't expect her son to become a social media star in just a few weeks when she posted a photo of her offspring at the family Christmas party online at the end of last year.

In the clip, the cute child faces a difficult challenge: With his back turned to his relatives, Joseph has to try to recognize them using only a few words.

A piece of cake for the little "genius"! He effortlessly recognizes eleven family members in a row without any problems. In total, he can correctly identify the voices of 14 out of 15 people.

The web was not only impressed by the boy's talent, but also by his affectionate and typically Italian-American manner.

The video has already been viewed an incredible 35.4 million times within two and a half weeks! 5.3 million users left a like and almost 12,000 commented on the clip.

The proud mom confirmed in an interview with People that the challenge was really harder than you might think. After Joseph's performance, other family members also took on the challenge - but no one did as well as the four-year-old! There are also people in the video that the boy hasn't known for very long.

"I'm not even saying that because he's my son. I don't want to be biased. I'm not even that brilliant," Alyssa explained. "I think he has a photographic memory. He might listen to a song once and recite the lyrics. He'll watch a movie and recite the whole movie to you."

With her son's impressive performance came success on TikTok: "I went from 3500 to almost 90,000 followers," says Alyssa. There are now even 5000 more. She is certain that she wants to continue uploading videos with her son, because: "He would probably be devastated if we ever stopped."
