“Kendall, we have to have a talk,” the father begins, as a mortified Kendall raises a hand to her mouth and the little boy cackles in delight.

“Get your shorts, we’re gonna see whose fit better,” Jason continues, referring to the “butt-cutting shorts”.

“Which ones?” she asks, which her dad describes as “the new ones we bought that were supposed to be a lot longer”.

Complying, Kendall shimmies on the shorts under an oversized long-sleeved top.

“Yeah, exactly!” Jason cries of the cropped-style cut-offs once she has them on, with Kendall erupting in giggles.

“Whose are shorter, babe?” the silly dad asks as he strikes a pose in the mirror and looks at the camera, which is evidently held by his wife.

“I can’t handle y’all,” the woman laughs.

He was making the point her shorts were too short, and if she chose to wear them, he would wear his.

“No, neither are mine!” the dad fires back.

In the days since, the legendary family moment has gone viral, with over 144,000 shares, 11,000 likes and 6700 comments to date.
