Six-year-old Tiana Sherry’s mother Cherish was brought to tears over the weekend when her daughter sat her down and taught her a pretty intense life lesson. Cherish and Tiana’s father are recently divorced, and Tiana just wants everyone to get along. Watch:

I want you mom, my dad, everyone to be friends. I want to be smiling. I don’t like being mad…

I’m not trying to be mean, I’m not trying to be a bully. I’m trying to be steady – like the floor. Not way down, on straight. On the middle. Where my heart is…

My heart is something. Everyone else’s heart is something, too. And if we live in a world where everyone is being mean, everyone is going to be a monster in their future!

I just want everything to be settled down. Nothing else. I just want everything to be as good as possible. Nothing else.

Is this little girl a future life coach, or what? We’ve all officially been out-adulted by a six-year-old.

And it’s only Monday morning.
