Being a mother requires constant vigilance, and a Cuban mom highlighted this reality with an impressive reflex that saved her son from potentially severe injury. The entire incident was captured by a home security camera.
In the footage, shared by user @yesi_cubita_la_bella on TikTok, the young boy is seen attempting to climb down from the sofa. He loses his balance and ends up dangling with his head dangerously close to the floor.
In a tense split second, his mother catches him with just one hand while balancing what appears to be her meal in the other. Despite the scare, she lifts him up, kisses him, and resumes her activities as if nothing had happened.
The video has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many praising the mother's quickness, strength, and love. One commenter noted, "That's not human, that's superhero-level." Another added humorously, referencing the constant antics of young children, "Keeping those little ones alive is an extreme sport."
Many agree that being a mother is not only a full-time job but also akin to an extreme sport.
