Jonah on the Defensive

We had a pretty funny incident take place while we were up in Pittsburgh for the holidays. We were at a friend's house for brunch where Jonah accidentally spilled a cup of coffee by pulling up on the table cloth on which the said cup was sitting. Josh was extremely apologetic to our friend and her mother, even after they'd told him not to worry about it. He was so profusive in his apologies that, in an effort to get him to stop, our friend told Josh to put out his hand, and she jokingly gave it a little smack and said, "Bad Josh."

Well, Jonah being a little 2.5 year-old and not understanding that this was a joke, took the smack and the comment to be for real, and he became extremely upset and started loudly protesting that Daddy was not bad and that Daddy was good. He was so upset that he was crying and needed quite a bit of comforting to settle him down.

It was at once very touching and quite funny. At least we know for sure that Jonah does, indeed, love his Daddy. See, Josh, he's not quite the Mommy's boy we thought he was! :)
