A mom went viral this month after her daughter struggled to open a CD case in a TikTok video that has grabbed two million views.
“So this morning, I handed my 10-year-old daughter one of these,” the mother says in the clip, while flashing a “Now That’s What I Call Music! 21” CD (2006) toward the camera. “And I immediately took it away from her because of what ensued.”
“I’m going to hand it back to her so you all can see that the struggle is real,” she adds.

Her mom reappears, batting her eyelashes in bewilderment as her offspring is obviously too young to know what to do with the arguably outdated piece of technology.
Fox News Digital reached out to @elspa570 for comment.
“Needs Jeopardy music,” one person joked.
“Give her a cassette tape,” another person commented.
“Why did she try opening every side multiple times and consistently skip over the one that opens,” one viewer asked.

The girl gives it a try and pops the case right open. Her mom continues to explain how in the “early 2000s” she had a book full of CDs that she flipped through “while driving” in order to change the music. She said she still has her big book of CDs and promised to show her daughter in a future video.
