Little girl's reaction to her father sitting with a random lady on flight is as funny as it gets

Children in many cultures are seen as pure-hearted and authentic, openly expressing their emotions without hesitation. Their faces reflect their hearts, and they aren’t afraid to speak their minds. This was perfectly captured in a video posted by Jeraldine Blackman (@theblackmanfamilyofficial) on Instagram, where her daughter’s reaction to her dad sitting apart from them on a plane was priceless.

The Blackman family—comprised of Josh, Jeraldine, and their two kids, Nimo and Jette—shares snippets of their everyday life on Instagram, charming followers with their adorable interactions. In this particular video, little Jette whispers to her mom, pointing out that, "Mama, Daddy is sitting with another girl." Jette says this with a lot of conviction and resolve, with an undertone of how that is not okay. She then proceeds to give a side eye to her father.

Josh, her father, is seated on the opposite side of the plane by the window, next to a woman in a green top. Jeraldine then pans the camera toward Josh, zooming in as she giggles. Josh’s wide-eyed, confused expression says it all—he’s clearly wondering what his wife and daughter are whispering about.

Then the video pans back at Jette, who seems to not be able to take in the fact that her daddy is sitting with another woman instead of her mother or rather, her. He simply covers her eyes with her palms in the cutest way possible before telling her mom, "I don't want it." The "it" here refers to seeing her papa seated with another woman. She nods her head in disapproval as the woman keeps laughing before the video cuts off.

The comments section was in awe of these interactions. @afroliciousme promptly pointed out, "Dad looks like he’s saying 'Stranger Danger' with his eyes. Aww, he wants to sit by his family." @ka_abril explained the dad's potential dilemma to the little girl, saying, "Jette, don't worry, maybe that's only the available seat for daddy." Another user, @artesuxx, said, "She’s so precious! The dad’s look on his face made me lol." @umaam.s chose to have some fun and commented, "Scold him Jet, your dady want new mama for you and Nimo." @leesheldon24 mentioned what Josh might be thinking and said, "Dad: It's bad enough I'm sitting in coach with a stranger, now you all are talking about me." Lastly, @benybentz stated what everyone was thinking and dropped some truth bombs saying, "Mama is not jealous but the real owner of Daddy is jealous. Jette is jealous because the love of her life (Dad) is sitting with another lady. Oh, Jette, I saw what you did there."
