” Papa… Don’t Preach to Me … ” !!!

15 month old Lola puts her dad in his place!

Papa Don't Preach: This Baby Firmly Stands by Her Decision to NOT Listen to Dad

So you know how sometimes you refuse to give in to pressure and stick to what you believe in? Lola, this 15-month-old toddler believes in standing on a table too high for her while her daddy tried to get her to come down.

He expressed his disapproval, while she expressed her disapproval of his disapproval. So basically if you are still confused, they both argue relentlessly and stand their ground, with the baby standing a little higher than she ought to.

Like lawyers hot on a case, each try to argue their side of the story with volumes and pitches rising by the minute till the toddler becomes SO frustrated that she resigns herself to muted mumbling and dejected hand-waving. The video ends with daddy bodily picking Lola off the table, as we well knew it might.

This video posted by Gareth Roe on his YouTube channel has received over a million views, and counting, since January 17, 2015.
