Watching This Small Child Crying Over the Shutdown NASA Website Is the Actual Saddest Thing Ever [Video]

According to his mother, a newscaster named Ybeth Bruzual, this little guy went to play his favorite online games on NASA.gov and got very upset when he discovered that it was gone. It’s the look on his face when Bruzual attempts to explain the government shutdown that really hits us the hardest. Poor little guy. We feel his pain. His adorable, adorable pain.

UPDATE: Sorry, guys, it looks like the video’s been taken down by the kid’s mother. We would go find a mirror for you because of course there must be one already, but it’s probably best to just let him be sad in private.
