Williams, who is 35 years old, informed TODAY.com that the baptism performed by Sullivan was the priest’s inaugural one at that particular church. She additionally mentioned that he graciously accepted her numerous apologies on behalf of the young child.

“The priest was a champ. He picked the book right back up and kept going,” Williams said to TODAY. “He was turning the pages and they were soaking wet. Later, my husband was like, “Every time I looked at the pages dripping, I started laughing.’”

“My brother was roaring with laughter. My mother-in-law was in the front row, and she tried to keep it together, but she couldn’t do it,” Williams mentioned.

Sullivan’s clever maneuver received accolades from numerous TikTok spectators.

“He was like, ‘Not today Jesus!’” a user laughed.

Another said: “I still can’t stop laughing.”

Williams responded: “Me either, every time I watch it.”

A different individual even proposed what Sullivan might have been contemplating at that particular instant.

“‘I don’t see pictures, next book,’” the commenter joked.

Some questioned whether Sullivan’s slap indicated that he had made a definitive decision regarding his upbringing in the church.

“Baby is setting boundaries early in life and I’m here for it,” a user said.

“The baby has spoken,” another declared.
