When Adele Says “Hello,” This Adorable Toddler Says “Hi” Right Back

Listening to Adele’s emotional lyrics always elicits a flood of emotions, and her latest single is no different.

Hearing the words “Hello,” to Adele’s single of the same name, you might think back to long-lost lovers, or even get the urge to call an old boyfriend. But this toddler knows exactly how to respond: with a big, smiley “hi”.

In this now-viral video, 15-month-old Jalal Hijaz can be seen sitting next to his father, Wael Hijaz, as the song begins to play. When Adele opens with “Hello,” Jalal gives a huge smile and politely returns the greeting to the pop star. To date, the video has been looped just under 25 million times on Vine.

Wael, who lives in Tampa, Florida, told Today: “He was in a great mood at the time and I was playing different songs for him while he sang along. As Adele’s song came up next we were expecting him to sing along again. However, it came as a complete surprise when he responded to Adele’s ‘hello!’… He really thought Adele was speaking to him.”
