The cute little girl was trying to scare her dad by pretending he was hurting her - but couldn't keep up the act for very long

This is the hilarious moment a baby tries to outsmart her dad - by scaring him with fake crying. It all started when the clever little girl, named Marchelinha, decided she didn't want her fingernails cutting and decided to pretend her dad was hurting her every time he came close with the scissors.
Mustering up a fake cry and a throwing in a few pretend squeals for good measure, Marchelinha attempted to 'scare' her dad into giving up his task.

But she couldn't keep up the ruse for very long and ended up dissolving into laughter.
Both dad and baby are then seen on camera as they roll around on the bed in hysterics.
The adorable - and hilarious - video was uploaded to YouTube by Pri-Fla-E Marcelinha Dos Santos Iwama.
It was originally shared by the family on September 7 and has since clocked up more than 1.8 million views.
