5-year-old gets emotional about leaving mom and dad to attend college in future

A little girl's reaction to learning she'll one day head to college is equally adorable and heartbreaking.

Last Wednesday, Kenzie Lund asked the question, "When do I start living on my own?" Mom Jessica Baker's response was too much for the 5-year-old to bear.

"I started saying, 'When you're 18 you go off to college and live in the dorms' and she just kind of lost it," Baker of Maple Grove, Minnesota, told "Good Morning America."

Baker recorded the moment and can be heard consoling Kenzie behind the camera.

"She's just a funny little girl and has been through a lot -- she was born with a heart condition," Baker said. "Everyone says she will be a performer. She's quite the character."

Baker said she plans on keeping the video for Kenzie's high school graduation party.
