You've heard of stories where twins play pranks on people to confuse them. Well, this one involves an adorable 16-month-old boy.

Stephen Ratpojanakul of New York let his twin brother, Michael, babysit his 16-month-old son, Reed. When he and his wife picked him up, Reed got really confused. Ratpojanakul posted a video on his Facebook page and captioned it: "When your dad is a twin..."

"Reed isn't used to me wearing glasses, and in his confusion he kept reaching back and forth between me and Michael," Stephen told BuzzFeed.

It is clear in the video that the child is confused. Reed kept saying "Dada" to both his dad and his uncle.

"It's a silly video, but it's great knowing that it provided a quick laugh to people from all different backgrounds," Stephen told BuzzFeed. "I promise Reed was having fun -- he's the happiest baby I've ever seen," he said.

The video has been viewed nearly 17 million times from across the world.

According to BuzzFeed reports, Stephen and Michael think they're identical, even though they've never had DNA tests to confirm it. Stephen's wife, Carroll, is also a twin.
