Joshua and the print shop

There is a print shop that David likes to use, and he has recently taken Joshua along for the errand. I went with them today, and Joshua absolutely loved it! All of the employees love him as well, and they took turns passing him around and letting him explore things. He sat on the counter shaking a pen for quite some time before we had to leave. The employee wanted him to keep the pen. I, naturally, knew this was not an appropriate toy for an 11 month-old, so I tried to give it back. Well, Joshua did not like my opinion! He threw a fit, which is horrific in the eyes of the Lebanese people. Anything to stop the crying, in their perspective. I let Joshua carry the pen out to the car, and then he "had it out" when I took it from him there.:-)
