The premise
Here’s the bit.
Mrs. Whitaker heads out for the evening, warning that her son Forest is a unique child, while the babysitter assures her that his long career has prepared him for anything. The child who toddles in looks and sounds exactly like Forest Whitaker, softly insisting on his mother's milk and on putting his tiniest Lego in his mouth. When the sitter refuses, the baby questions who is really in charge and knocks him to the floor with startling strength. By bedtime the shaken sitter is obediently singing a personalized lullaby to his tiny, intimidating employer.
