A two-year-old boy in China is addicted to wrapping parcels, a hobby he likes so much that he even refuses to play outdoors, said his worried mother.

In a viral video on mainland Chinese social media, the boy was seen skilfully and swiftly wrapping a shiny bracelet made of large red pearls in a box in one minute, Wutong Video reported.
The boy’s mother, surnamed Zhang, said his father runs an online store and often packs his products at home before posting them to customers.

“My son is two years and one month old,” Zhang said. “When he was very young, he watched his father wrapping parcels a lot. Sometimes he disturbed his father who became so annoyed that he gave the boy items to wrap.

“What we did not expect is that our son would wrap parcels more quickly and more smoothly. He finishes wrapping a parcel even faster than me.”
