Accidental 911 Call Leads To Epic Dance Off Between Cop And Kid

For most of the video, the officer seems to be holding his own against his young opponent. Once the kid busts out ‘the Floss,’ though, it was all over for the cop.

The joke gets more and more relatable as the baby continues to not say “hi” but instead says a lot of other stuff....
