Embarrassing your kids will never not be entertaining.

A young woman attempting to show off her musical talent was completely trolled by her own mother.

Dajia Davis posted a short clip to her Twitter account on Tuesday. It begins with her singing and playing a piano cover of "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur. She's quite good. But just as Davis is getting into the tune, her mom strolls up, looks directly into the camera, and starts to dance.

"Wait! Momma, come on. Come on, I sounded good," Davis interjects.

The tweet absolutely blew up, and has since received more than 62,000 retweets. People loved her mom's sense of humor.

Just in case you felt robbed, here's Davis performing a longer version of that song on her YouTube channel.
