Two toddlers, Harry (aged three) and Charlie (aged one), were sitting together on the family sofa, while their dad, Howard Davies-Carr, started filming in hope of capturing a cute moment between his two sons.
But what happened next launched his sons into fame overnight. Baby Charlie bites his big brother's finger, like any teething baby would if a finger went into their mouth, but Harry's reaction was priceless:
"Ouch Charlie! Ouchhhhh! That really hurt! Charlie," said Harry. To which Charlie just sniggers at his brother's pain.
