The video begins with a shot of Jessica and Hoyt standing together in their backyard. Jessica holds a bright red plastic recorder in her hands. Hoyt watches his mom as she bends over so she is at his eye level. Then, she blows into the recorder to play it, showing Hoyt how it works.
When Jessica stops playing the recorder, Hoyt hops up and down in excitement and begins reaching for the instrument. “Here you go,” Jessica tells the toddler as she hands over the recorder. “Do it!”
Hoyt grasps the recorder in both hands and turns away from the camera as he prepares to play the instrument. At first, the toddler seems to understand how the instrument works, raising it to his mouth to play. But then, instead of playing the recorder, the confused toddler takes a deep breath and screams into it at the top of his lungs.
