When an adult says "I smell like beef" on social media it's usually because their Facebook page has been hijacked by a nefarious friend or co-worker.

If an adult really smells like beef ... just no. Take a shower stinky!

This Dearborn family team has been growing their Internet fame for a while on Vine and Instagram. The sassy little girl's name is Ava Ryan and her "half grownup, half baby" commentary on life are making a resurgence thanks to a Throwback Thursday post and Reddit.

The mom, Katie Ryan's Vine account has more than 800k followers. Ryan told channel 4 in an interview that Ava's one-liners aren't setup or scripted.

The beef video is a few years old and Ava is now an equally adorable kid. Oh, and Ava, I love candy corn too.

Seems like a shoe-in for a Steve Harvey guest. Are you listening @IAmSteveHarvey?
