A 3-year-old girl had the sweetest reaction after seeing her grandpa's identical brother for the first time, and her aunt captured the adorable moment in a video that has now gone viral.
TikToker Leah Lai Hing (@linglinglh) and her family were together in Georgia for a cousin's funeral when her sister Javon Gordon, the mother of 3-year-old Naomi, said her daughter asked why there were two grandpas.
The "two" grandpas are actually just part of a set of identical triplets.
Naturally, Hing and Gordon wanted to document the sweet interaction.
Gordon told PEOPLE:
“I was like, ‘Oh, this is a perfect moment to record her and try to see [if] she can distinguish between who is her grandfather and who is her uncle."
“So we recorded and we just asked her, ‘Who's in front of you, and who's that next to you?' And she just said, ‘[Another] papa.’"
You can watch the interaction below.
Viewers all agreed the footage of sweet Naomi was incredibly heartwarming.

Gordon said that nobody in the family had any idea the TikTok would gain such popularity.
“I was not expecting it at all. Not at all."
"I don't think any of us were."
But she hopes that moment was the start of a precious relationship.
“I just hope they continue to grow together and she remembers these moments that she has with him.”
