What's in the video?
The video has been viewed over 22 million views on Facebook alone since Sunday. The 15-second video shows the toddler at a place which probably appears to be a supermarket. The toddler is carefully looking at an animatronic spider and starts patting it when it suddenly jumped towards it. The toddler instead of getting afraid of it starts hitting it as an instant reaction. The person who is most likely making the video asks Charlie not to do that but that doesn't stop him from continuing his action. Charlie hits it as he is heard saying “let me hit him” and then his guardian arrives and takes him away from it. Even towards the end of the video, the child can be heard saying that he wanted to hit the spider for a longer time.

My 4 year old would do the same thing and we don't even teach him so it's just something natural for kids to react like that sometimes. I thought it was hilarious and cute!".
