Jennifer Garner isn’t afraid to share relatable content on social media. Remember when she unpacked her bag only to find countless bags of nuts? Or when she completely lost it in a haunted house? Well, the 52-year-old actress has done it again. 

Garner recently shared a video on Instagram featuring footage from her visit to a Washington school, where she read a children’s book called Secret Pizza Party in front of a group of students. The Peppermint star had the best reaction when one child, named Sebastian, kept interrupting her story.

The clip begins with Garner introducing the book, saying, “It’s called Secret Pizza Party.

It doesn’t take long for Sebastian to interrupt Garner’s story. He says, “Tomorrow, we’re gonna have pepperoni pizza.”

Instead of shutting him down, Garner gives an encouraging response, saying, “Then you’re gonna love this book!”

Of course, the fun doesn’t stop there. Sebastian continues to express his love for pizza, adding, “I love pepperoni.” He adds, “Are they all pepperoni?”

Garner uses this as an opportunity to beat Sebastian to the punch. When she turns the page to reveal another pepperoni pizza, she says, “Here, Sebastian, look.” The child yells back, “Pepperoni!”

The caption read, “Dear Pepperoni Pizza, will you be my Valentine? Love, Sebastian and Me. Filmed on a @savethechildren visit to Yakima Valley, Washington.”

Props to Garner for showing off those mom skills (she does have three kids after all) and demonstrating extreme patience.
