The mom, known on TikTok as Mama Layla, shared a video of her small daughter on the social media platform.
Her daughter, who is a brilliant example for other children - and even some adults - didn't want to leave her empty plate on the table after enjoying the meal so she did what she presumably would do at home.

The comments on the video agreed that the girl has good values and is incredibly well-mannered, while complimenting her mom on her parenting skills.
One viewer even said, "Rumours says she even washed it😭😭🤣".
While she seems like the kind of person who would have done it if she were able, it probably didn't get that far.
