Darpan News Desk, 03 Dec, 2019 10:39 PM

    A video clipping about a toddlers' race on a basketball court in the US evoked some funny responses from the Twitter users.

     

    New Orleans Pelicans Twitter handle @PelicansNBA posted the clipping on December 2 with the caption, "A Baby Crawl Race for the ages! What a dramatic finish!"

     

    The 3.38 minutes clipping got 2.3K retweets and 5.7K likes, apart from 466.5k views.

     

    In the clipping, two toddlers can be seen crawling right up to the finish line, only to turn their backs on their waiting parents and indulging in some funny actions.

     
     
     
     

    One user retweeted the clipping and wrote: "This is my favorite thing ever."

     

    Another wrote: "These babies are teaching us something... life is not a race... never look at what others are doing. Do things your own way and be happy..."

     

    A user posted: "I hope (contestants) 5 and 6 have a playdate scheduled sometime soon."

     

    Another remarked: "The winning baby apparently has been signed by New Orleans (basketball team)."

     

    One post read: "I have never seen so much suspense even in a movie."

     

    One funny take on the clipping read: "Ohh no! again a boy failed to concentrate on his target because of a girl."
