Allow this perfect child to teach you how to talk to your ex

He proposed to a fourth-grader.

Brace yourselves: this adorable child is about to teach you everything you need to know when dealing with your exes.

Instagram user Dani Lane shared a video of two of her daughters Dannah and Dani that has perhaps revolutionized everything videos of your nieces and nephews could be. (Sounds like an overstatement but truly, bear with us.)

It all started when 5-year-old Dannah got dumped by her boyfriend at school - after she thought they were getting engaged(!). While the kindergartener was expecting a proposal from her boo, he flipped the script by dumping her and proposing to a fourth-grader out of nowhere. (Guuuuurl.)

Watch this star explain her messy break up here:

"She need a better man than him," Dani, Dannah's 6-year-old sister and the world's most perfect co-star said.

Fast forward to merely one day later, when Dannah's ex decided to come crawling back. Classic. Lane had her daughters sit down to explain how the situation played out and what resulted is viral perfection.

Allow these girls to teach you how to deal with an ex:
