A detailed rundown of the impact that COVID-19 lockdown conditions have had on her life from a four-year-old girl from Phoenix, Arizona, became a huge viral hit via a July 9 tweet.

Clocking in at just under 250,000 likes and over 83,000 retweets at the time of writing, the tweet in question, from @ngu_spesh, was captioned: “When you are 4 years old and lockdown is starting to frustrate you.”

The video was actually shot by the father of the girl on April 3, and posted to the family’s machouseblanc Instagram account. The youngster, Blake, is upset about the closure of many businesses, but, in particular, it’s the news that “the ice cream truck is shut down” which brings her to tears.

The video of Blake gained additional traction online after “gangster gardener” Ron Finely shared the video on Instagram, attracting over 1.1 million views in five days. Credit: machouseblanc via Storyful
