The internet has come to the defense of little 2-year-old TJ, whose father shared a hilarious video this week of him accusing the toddler of messing up the frosting on a set of cupcakes, according to ABC 6.
In an adorable TikTok video, North Carolina dad Tyrell Fulwood questioned his young son about the cupcake frosting, which was covering TJ's face as he denied messing with the cupcakes.
Fulwood asks why the frosting on all of the cupcakes is messed up but TJ repeatedly says "no," denying pushing a chair up to the counter and licking the frosting.
The 2-year-old looks straight into the camera and says "no" when asked whether he did it, despite a face covered in frosting.
"Can't leave this little boy alone for a second," Fulwood wrote as the caption for the video.
Fulwood told ABC 6 that he meant to send the video to the child's grandmother to jokingly say he got his mischievousness from her but ended up posting it to TikTok instead.
The video has now racked up nearly 200,000 views and dozens of shares as people hilariously defend TJ against the accusations.
The internet had a grand time defending TJ's honor.

also those cupcakes look good as HELL, so if for *some reason* TJ did actually eat those cupcakes WHICH HE DID NOT… I would totally understand and still support him.
