The father, surnamed Guo, from Tianjin city, northern China, was stunned when his daughter refused his attempt to give her a bath last Friday after she had learned about the human body and male and female reproductive parts from her mother, Bailu Video reported.

The viral video showed the girl in a yellow T-shirt sitting on a low stool in a bathroom. The mother is next to the girl as she gets ready to bathe her, while the father tries to have a discussion with her.

“You are a hooligan,” the daughter tells her father in an indignant tone.

The girl’s story was praised on mainland social media, with one Weibo news post on the story attracting 9,663 comments. Photo: Weibo

“Doesn’t your father have to take your T-shirt and shorts off to wash you? I’m not a hooligan,” Guo replied.

Guo said he had helped his daughter to wash as he usually did, and all was well when brushing her teeth and washing her face until he asked her to take her clothes off to wash her body. It was at this point when the girl became uncomfortable and resisted.
