Like grandma, like grandson.
When Stacy Robinson saw her son Josiah begin to pray, something looked familiar to her. In a video posted on Robinson’s TikTok, the 4-year-old starts talking and praying just like her own mother, using his own words while copying several of her mannerisms.
“Oh god, oh god! Just heal my body, oh God!” Josiah says in the video, shaking his head back and forth. “Just bless my soul right this minute, oh God! Bless my soul and heal my sickness! Oh God, take my sickness away. Oh god.”
“Amen, but you’re supposed to be saying your Grace. Are you gonna say your Grace for your food?” Robinson tells her son in the TikTok, which has over 20 million views.
“I’m blessing me for to get better okay,” Josiah says in protest. “Okay, can you bless your food too?” his mom asks.
“My son prays just like my mama,” Robinson wrote over the video.
The comments section quickly filled with support from viewers, with one writing, “THIS HAS ME IN TEARS 😂😭 ‘bless my soul and heal my sickness’ the grandma is the baby literally.”
Robinson replied to the comment, writing, “They ain’t like they’re best friends He copies everything she does. I’m just glad she doesn’t cuss or he would be doing that too 😂.”
Another user hilariously wrote, “If my son ain’t prayin like this I don’t want him.”
“He loves to laugh and mimic people, hence his tone while praying in the video. My mom babysits him and he hears and sees her praying quite often,” Robinson tells PEOPLE exclusively. “The tone was my mom’s but the words were were his. His sincerity was evident to the millions of people who’ve viewed the video.”
“Josiah has a majorly good sense of humor. People love this kid no matter where we go,” she continues. “Strangers can see that there’s something amazingly special about him.”
