Adorable baby pretends to cry as dad cuts her fingernails - but ends up laughing instead

The cute little girl was trying to scare her dad by pretending he was hurting her - but couldn't keep up the act for very long This is the hilarious moment a baby tries to outsmart her dad - by scaring him with fake crying. It all started when the clever little girl, named Marchelinha, decided she didn't want her fingernails cutting and decided to pretend her dad was hurting her every time he came close with the scissors. Mustering up a fake cry and a throwing in a few pretend squeals for good measure, Marchelinha attempted to 'scare' her dad into giving up his task. But she couldn't keep up the ruse for very long and ended up dissolving into laughter. Both dad and baby are then seen on camera as they roll around on the bed in hysterics. The adorable - and hilarious - video was uploaded to YouTube by Pri-Fla-E Marcelinha Dos Santos Iwama. It was originally shared by the family on September 7 and has since clocked up more than 1.8 million views. Unsurprisingly, viewers have shown a lot of love for the cute clip, with one YouTube user writing: "This is the cutest thing! Plus she's so adorable! I was smiling the whole time." Another added: "Nothing better than watching a baby laugh." The video of the girl and her dad giggling together is possibly the cutest thing you'll see today It's a daughter's prerogative to play tricks on her doting dad (and to make him worry) but we usually reserve that for when we're a bit older. This baby has already got her dad stressing out - and she's only tiny! We all know what a delicate job it is trying to cut your little one's nails without hurting them, especially if they're a wriggler... But this dad has got a harder job than most. As he gently moves in with the baby nail scissors, she lets out a little squeal and makes him jump. And because he laughs, this daddy's girl has found her new favourite game! Next time he goes in for the trim, she lets out another little squeal and makes him jump even more. And the resulting daddy-daughter giggles are super cute. We doubt he ever managed to trim those nails. The adorable clip, filmed in Brazil, was uploaded to Facebook by the tot's mum, Marcelinha Dos Santos Iwama, and has since been viewed over 16million times. Marcelinha captioned it: "Look who learned how to scare her daddy!" (translated) We're sure she'll be doing plenty more of that in years to come...
