Diane Sarna told ABC News that her son Lorenzo, 2, is \"enthusiastic and full of positive energy all the time.\"

\"This was a very candid moment! I said 'Hey Lorenzo look at this' -- that was his reaction and I’m so glad I captured it,\" she said. \"It’s made many people smile which is amazing!\"

The video has already been viewed nearly 5 million times on Twitter and garnered nearly 125,000 likes and over 36,000 retweets.

\"I wasn't too surprised about how viral the video went because I know he is so cute and funny,\" Sarna said.

Let's be real: We are all screaming \"Oh yeah\" in our heads every time we see curly fries dunked in cheese.

Happy Fry-day.
