Amy Schumer’s son made a new friend.

On Tuesday night, musician Carlton Jumel Smithposted a selfieon Instagram featuring the comedian, 40, taken in New York City, recounting in the caption how the moment came to be. He said Schumer’s 2-year-old sonGene David, whom she shares with husband Chris Fischer, approached him in a silly way on the sidewalk.

“This just happened - I’d left my storage unit having picked up a load of records. As I walked down the block to my apartment hauling a shopping cart full of albums … a little blonde kid comes running towards me screaming with his arms outstretched,” Smith wrote. “So I prepared to let my hands go because I’ll knock a toddler out over my vinyl (joke) but just then his mother comes towards me laughing. So I laugh as well. Then I notice his mother is Amy Schumer.”

He said, “She was incredibly sweet and gracious. She even took this selfie. Watch out Beyonce - Amy’s lost a lot of weight and is looking quite svelte! I always thought she was fine anyway.”

Schumer commented on the post, “You made my night!!“The Humansactress also posted Smith’s recap on herInstagram Story, adding, “I [heart] NY.”

Back in February, Schumer revealed she had “evolved to having no child care” after her son’s nanny Jane — who appeared on her Food Network showAmy Schumer Learns to Cookas the at-home cameraperson — decided to focus on her studies.

“Any tips for cutting a toddlers' nails? We are strugglin!” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“Yeah, actually, like we were worried about not having childcare but we’re actually like doing really well — and I think we’re a lot more capable of a lot more than we realized we were,” Schumer said sarcastically in the clip. “All this helped [us] grow because we don’t need it.”
