In a now-viral TikTok with over 7.9 million views, kindergarten teacher @kiraseverson planned a sweet and simple April Fools’ prank on her students—only for one little girl to completely take over in the best possible way.

The premise? Kira pretends to take a phone call in class, then dramatically announces, “My mom’s picking me up early today.” She tells the class there’s no sub available, so they’ll need to be on their best behavior for the next hour without her.

Before stepping out, she casually leaves a student named Princess “in charge.”

What happens next? Straight out of a Pixar short.

Instead of chaos, Princess immediately rises to the moment—clapping her hands, calling the group to attention, and assigning jobs like she’s been managing a Fortune 500 company in her free time. Her classmates listen. It’s a full-on matriarchal takeover, and moms everywhere are weeping and laughing in solidarity.

Comment sections blew up with love and admiration:

  • “Princess was READY 💪 front of the line” — @Tiana🍌 (82.2K likes)
  • “Princess is an eldest daughter of an eldest daughter” — @Terra_incognina (96K likes)
  • “Give princess a raise” — @maldita duende (41K likes)

And honestly? Give her the whole company while you’re at it.

What makes this clip so powerful is more than the comedy—it’s a real-time example of the emotional intelligence, confidence, and leadership that even young kids are capable of when given trust and responsibility.

Kids know more than we think. They watch, they learn, and they rise. And whether Princess has been watching her mom, her teachers, or her older siblings—we see you, girl. We see you.

This April Fools’ prank turned into a mini leadership seminar—and we’re all taking notes.
