Strewn with mysteries, this video leaves viewers curious about her daughter’s untold words.
The episode begins as usual with a mother and daughter walking into a store and asking about iPads. Dallas guides them to the exhibit area and then assists them at the mobile desk. When I get back, my daughter asks, “What’s the cheapest iPad you guys have?” Dallas pointed to the 10.2-inch 9th generation iPad, which costs $349. However, a mix-up occurred where her daughter mistook the price tag on her Apple Pencil for her iPad, leading to Ms. Dallas correcting her daughter, “No, it’s $349.”
As the mother investigates different models, her daughter’s behavior becomes increasingly strange. She looked at her 12.9-inch iPad Pro and asked her mother, “Is this her $3?” Dallas corrected her again and said, “No, it’s $349.” Her mother selected her iPad Pro with cell service, but she removed her seat to answer the phone. Her daughter took her opportunity to approach Dallas and she requested a private conversation, to which she whispered, “Can I ask you something over there?”
Dallas is surprised and agrees, but before he can speak, his mother returns and prevents her daughter from revealing her secret.

Her daughter’s unspoken thoughts remain a mystery, leaving Best Buy employees and viewers wondering about her intentions.
