This morning I heard about this news story: a nineteen-month-old and his mother were kicked off an airplane after the toddler kept saying, “Bye-bye, plane.”
Alright, I’m guessing that the flight attendant who threw the fit over this was having a bad day. Perhaps she had just watched that toddler classic, Mary Kate and Ashley’s Hi-jacking Hi-jinx and was feeling a bit edgy. Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, that was probably the first time she’d ever been on a flight with a small child who was being cheerful and talkative instead of screaming and throwing up (I had one of those once). If there’s anything they beat into your head during flight attendant school, it’s this: an upbeat toddler cannot be trusted.
Wow, I’m speechless.
Good thing no one seemed to notice when Ben was talking about bombs on our last flight!!
What the hey! (As Nicole would say.) That’s just wrong. That’s not even in the “Gray Area” of a misbehaving child is it? Kind of like the police officer who reportedly tackled and arrested a 70 year old woman in Utah County for not watering her lawn. Grandma Rees says this has been on the news everywhere, and they’re talking about it as far away as England. Grandma rolled her eyes and said “You know she’s surely going to come out of it all with a pretty penny!” (I bet she’ll have the greenest grass in the neighborhood then.)
What the hey!
Sheer craziness. Stories like this make me want to scream.
