Alicia Silverstone’s little boy isn’t so little anymore!

On Thursday, Sept. 19, theCluelessstar, 47, shared a cute cooking video with her sonBear, 13, onInstagram. Before cheffing up some vegan quesadillas, the mother-son duo stood face-to-face and back-to-back, discovering that Bear has officially grown taller than Silverstone.

“Are you serious?” the proud mom exclaims, before asking, “Where’s your mouth?” Bear then leans forward to show that his mouth is well above his mom’s. Silverstone glares at the camera in disbelief.
