It was bring your kid to work day at America’s Got Talent apparently, seeing as Simon Cowell’s 3-year son Eric stole the show while sitting on daddy’s lap. And it was adorable!

In a behind-the-scenes clip, Simon was spotted snacking backstage with his little one.

“If you had to be on a desert island for the rest of your life with either me or mommy, who would it be?” he asked Eric, to which he pointed to Simon and gleefully responded: “Because you press the scary buzzer all day.”
