Japanese toddler’s favorite face mask makes passers-by do a double take

When you wear a face mask, it usually hides your mouth and the contours of your face. Some people think it makes them look better, which is sometimes jokingly referred to as マスク詐欺 masuku sagi, or "mask deception" on Japanese social media.

However, TikTok user Tinysmile's (tinysmile11725) daughter has a mask that you could call a "deception" in the opposite way, hiding her adorable face with something hilariously different...

Take a look at this video posted on TikTok.

Text displayed in video: "Hey, third-born daughter who insists she won't wear any mask but this one: The mask suits you so well I could cry. And your mom's a bit embarrassed. Sorry for being embarrassed about my own daughter..."

As you can see, the mask, which Tinysmile apparently bought at a dollar store, has a pattern that makes her daughter look like a man with a mustache and a beard!

The little girl probably enjoys the reaction of her family members not to mention passers-by who must be laughing or at least smiling at the sight.

The video brought smiles to many people's faces, eliciting comments such as:

  • "Thank you for the laughs."
  • "Could it suit her any better? I would laugh if I passed her in the street."
  • "It's so cute. You have excellent taste, little one."
  • She looks like Uncle Karl, the mascot character of the famous snack*!
  • "I can understand how embarrassing it would be for a mother. If I were in her shoes, I'd want to tell people around me that my daughter picked it herself."

*Meiji's long-selling curly cheese-flavored puffed corn snack カール kāru Karl has a mascot character known as カールおじさん kāru ojisan Uncle Karl.

When you get an item that can make people smile, why not take advantage of it? Of course, it helps to be a real entertainer like Tinysmile's daughter.
