A 3-year-old's excuse that he was "too sick" to go to school didn't pan out when he adorably started breakdancing at the doctor's office.

Earlier this month, Curtrina Manire shared a TikTok video of her son Kobe, who supposedly had a "sore throat."

In the video, however, after someone mentions his symptoms, Kobe quickly drops to the floor and pulls out some winning moves.

"My toddler said he was not feeling well so I took him to the doctor's office," Manire explained to Storyful. "Once we got there, he started dancing for all the doctors and staff, leading me to believe he was just trying to get out of school for the day."
