Kids can very rarely hide their emotions. What's going on in their mind can be seen on their faces.
Children have a way of wearing their hearts on their sleeves, expressing their thoughts and emotions with unfiltered honesty. This authenticity was on full display in a video shared by Jeraldine Blackman (@theblackmanfamilyofficial) on Instagram. In the clip, her daughter’s hilariously candid reaction to her dad sitting apart from them on a plane had viewers laughing out loud.
The Blackman family—made up of Josh, Jeraldine, and their two kids, Nimo and Jette—often delights their followers by sharing heartwarming glimpses into their daily lives. In this particular video, little Jette leans over to her mom and whispers with wide-eyed conviction, “Mama, Daddy is sitting with another girl.” Her serious tone and subtle side-eye aimed at her dad made the moment even more priceless, leaving no doubt that she found the situation unacceptable.
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."
