Fashion designer Veekee James has left fans amused after revealing how her mother successfully pranked her into believing that her three-month-old daughter, Eliana, had started growing teeth.

In a video shared online, Veekee appeared genuinely alarmed after her mother jokingly claimed she had felt something sharp inside the baby’s mouth.

Concerned by the unexpected claim, Veekee immediately insisted on checking Eliana’s mouth herself to confirm whether the baby had really started teething.

However, after examining her daughter, she realised it was all a prank.

The fashion designer admitted she had completely believed her mother at first and was genuinely frightened for a moment before discovering the joke.

She later burst into laughter after realising she had been successfully fooled.

The light-hearted moment has since gone viral, with many social media users finding the family prank hilarious while others joked that every new parent is likely to fall for such tricks.
