A schoolgirl burst into tears when she realised she wouldn’t be a princess when she grows up and will instead face ‘boring’ chores like washing dishes like her mother.

Órla McEvity, from Erskine, Scotland, was watching her mother Catherine Stafford-Grimley cleaning the house and quizzed her about why she was doing it.

When the 25-year-old explained that adults have to do chores, the schoolgirl cried at the prospect of one day having to do ‘all the boring things’ like doing the shopping and washing the dishes.

Órla said she was unhappy about growing up ‘because that way I’ll have to do all the boring things’.

She said: ‘It’s like having to go food shopping and I have to wash the dishes. That’s boring isn’t it?’

Órla cried and insisted she wasn’t happy to grow up while stay-at-home mother Catherine comforted her.

Catherine said: ‘Órla was watching me do housework and asked why I was doing it.

‘I explained that when you grow up you have to do housework so she got in a panic and realised it’s no fun being an adult.

‘She started getting upset once she had the realisation that growing up isn’t all that meant to be.

The mother-of-two says Órla has always hated doing chores and when the camera stopped rolling, she swore she’d find a way to stop her legs from growing so she never becomes an adult

‘She thought she was going to be a princess growing up, not doing the house chores. I was laughing inside that a five-year-old could worry about such things.

The mother-of-two says Órla has always hated doing chores and when the camera stopped rolling, she swore she’d find a way to stop her legs from growing so she never becomes an adult.

Catherine said: ‘Órla is such a dramatic child she exaggerates a lot of things in life. The other day she felt like she was dying all because I’ve asked her to tidy her room.

‘Another time she fell over and said she’s never going to use her legs ever again.

‘I said all of us have to grow up and that it’s part of life and she asked why she had to be born, again very dramatic.

Catherine said: ‘Some said they feel for Órla and how they wish she doesn’t have to grow up either’

‘Eventually I reassured her and said being an adult can be so much fun, not really but sometimes you’ve got to tell a white lie.’

Family and friends were left in hysterics at the funny clip and have insisted that she keeps it for Órla’s 18th birthday.

Catherine said: ‘A lot of my family and friends thought it was absolutely hilarious.

‘Some couldn’t stop laughing and others were constantly replaying it and sharing it with their family and friends.

‘Some said they feel for Órla and how they wish she doesn’t have to grow up either.

‘I had to contain my laughter and knew this was going to be a video worth keeping.’
