Ordering food online has become second nature for many families. It is the go-to for busy families and also just a nice way of treating everyone once in a while. 

So, best believe just as kids are familiar with Takealot and Amazon, so too are they familiar with fast food apps like Mr D and UberEats

We came across a video of a child who is either a very good actor or proficient in ordering food online. 

In the video shared on Instagram, we see a young girl collecting what looks like a McDonald's Happy Meal Box from her doorstep. 

The kid holds the box with one hand and holds a smartphone in the other hand. 

When her father finds her at the doorstep and questions her, she apologises for using her mother's phone to order food and says that she is hungry.

People were quick to jump into the comments section and say that this was all scripted. We have to admit it did seem like that, but we cannot say for sure. 

The video was a true testament to how kids have so much more autonomy these days. It is also quite scary to think that these kids can rack up food orders without considering your budget for takeout.
