If your mum posted a video of you belting out Madonna's "Holiday" in the car on your birthday, you'd probably want to melt into a puddle of embarrassment.

Unless your mum happens to be Madonna.

Celebrating the birthday of her son, David Banda, Madonna posted an Instagram video to her 10.2 million followers on Sunday. The video features David having a delightful singalong worthy of Carpool Karaoke, to his own mum's 1983 hit single, "Holiday."

Importantly, this kid has just turned 12. T-w-e-l-v-e.

Madonna adopted David from Malawi in 2006. Here's another Instagram post from pop's proud, proud mum, posted on Sunday and featuring a mini David:

And here's the whole family in August 2017, posted on Instagram by Madge. There's Rocco, David, Mercy James, Estere, Stella and Lourdes.
