in louisa’s diary there is this one story about how she and jqa were walking down the street holding baby charles francis when this man just ran up to them and took the baby out of louisa’s arms?? and just started running down the street and louisa of course ran after him but couldn’t catch up. she like started freaking out thinking her child had been kidnapped but the guy came back ten minutes later like “your kid is so perfect i just wanted to show him to my wife” and louisa just accepted it like oh ya hes pretty perfect that just makes sense. it just says john quincy was irritated by all of this
