This four-year-old boy from Cleveland refuses to admit that he ate a cupcake yet having crumbs and chocolate all around his mouth.

John's mother asks him, "did you eat a cupcake? You didn't eat a cupcake? Are you sure you didn't eat a cupcake?" as the four-year-old continuously denies his involvement in any cupcake eating.

Believing he has fooled his mum, the cheeky boy then asks, "can I have a cupcake?" to which his mother responds, "no you can't" while trying to hold back her laughter.

This encounter was filmed in September 2019.
