Meet 11-month-old Emma. She enjoys long yells on the beach, slapstick comedy is one of her strengths, and her goals include world peace.

Known only as Ben, Emma's father decided the fill in the daycare form late one night this week over a glass of wine. It rapidly went viral after a friend posted a copy to social news and entertainment website Reddit just two days ago.

Ben lists Emma's strengths as "rapid digestion", "yodeling" and "playing one parent off against the other", while her interests include "food as art/clothing" and "exploring parent's noses with fingers".

When it comes to baby Emma's goals, she's set her sights high - with "world peace" on the agenda along with a "Ph.D in theoretical physical cosmology". But at the same time she aims to "unplug all power cords" and "open every drawer, everywhere".

Talking to TODAY Moms, Ben explained that his only intention was to make people smile. He says he is astounded that his "trivial musings" have become an "internet behemoth".

And while he has come under fire from some corners for his sarcasm, he says he didn't fill in the form with any feelings of contempt. He says of the daycare centre, "I have nothing but respect for all the amazing people there".

And it seems there are no hard feelings. A spokesperson for the daycare centre, Kerri Brown, told TODAY Moms the form has brought amusement to “all who have read it”.
