I held a baby for a stranger on a plane once. Apparently mommy hadn’t fed him in a bit, because the little monster tried to rip my bra off. Kind of awkward. My mild buzz (drinking at altitude – always amusing) coupled with my lack of patience (hey, I don’t have kids yet) added some fun to the situation.

I would rather have someone stab me in the eye with bamboo skewers than fly with my children. Which is why we'll be taking them all (including the one that will be freshly hatched) across the country to Disney World in February. You are so very, very patient. I would have been horrified if my baby was pinching a complete stranger. blissfully caffeinateds last blog post..RTT: Excuse me while I fashion a headdress and thong underwear out of some mosquito netting and banana leaves.

Honestly, I don't know how you do it but I admire you as always. You were way more patient with the loud guy than I would have. Trust me, I would have let him know just what I was thinking. Hope your travels from now on are a bit less painful. HUGS! Krystals last blog post..Thank God it is Friday!!!

Umm way more patience than I could have, would have exhibited. Although somehow I have learned to tolerate a crying child and especially so on a plane. The hair pulling, scratching and pinching not so much. Laws should be created so that Loud Man had to switch seats. Teach him. I was living in Atlanta and working in Dallas for 9 months. So lots of flights. Once I was a few minutes late checking in at Atlanta and they would not let me on the flight because I had to fly with my luggage, being that I could be a terrorist and all. Well instead of getting to Dallas at 4 I got there at midnight. My luggage went on the first flight I was not allowed on. Go figure. The next time this happened and they told me that I had a meltdown. The guy you can pay to take your luggage into the airport felt sorry for me and told me he would get my luggage on that flight. God bless him. I could not deal with sitting in the airport all day and then dashing to my hotel for only a few hours of sleep. Traveling is stressful enough as it is.

Ok, this post just made me wonder if the same thing will happen to me when I’m flying to Chicago all by my lonesome. Because you just know that the one time I can enjoy a peaceful moment, kid-less for more than an hour, I’ll probably be sitting next to children much louder and high-maintenance than mine. It’s the universe’s way to say “count your blessings”

Pinch Baby! Classic! I'm sure the mom (and Pinch Baby) totally appreciated it. I would have. Keelys last blog post..But at least we didn't have to master driving on the opposite side of the road

It’s always the cute ones you have to watch out for–even your own.

That lucky mom to sit next to you. I always try and be kind to moms of babies on planes, remembering the icy stares people gave me when I traveled with little ones. Hope you're not too black and blue... Maureen at IslandRoars last blog post..Spin Cycle: Driving
