A little boy is going viral after taking his mother’s advice on mask-wearing to heart.
When Nicole Peoples received her son’s school picture day photos this year, she was shocked that he was sporting a mask.

Peoples wrote on Facebook the sweet story of how Mason truly listened to what she had instructed him to do…
Photographer: Ok, take your mask off.
Mason: My mom said to keep it on all the time unless I’m eating and far away from everybody.
Photographer: I’m sure it’s ok to take it off for your pictures.
Mason: No, my mom seriously told me to make sure to keep it on.
Photographer: Are you sure you don’t want to take it off for 2 seconds?
Mason: No Thank you, I always listen to my mom!
Photographer: Ok, say cheese!
“I’m so proud of him for sticking to his word,” Peoples began her post. “But I should have been more clear about my rules on this day.”
