Babies on Planes

I think they're worse than snakes on planes.

Ha ha.

I'd never had babies on my flights before. Well, there were toddlers, but they didn't cry or anything. But recently, on the way back from Georgia to Detroit, there were several babies. And they all cried. The whole entire time.

It was just fantastic.

I get sick and groggy on planes anyway, and the last thing I want to do is listen to babies scream. Seriously. I know it's not their fault, but it's still pretty annoying.

And then, on the way from Detroit back home, there was another baby. We were lucky enough to be sitting right in front of it. It was screaming its head off! I think it was really young, and its poor ears were probably popping and whatever else. It was kind of sad, almost. But still annoying.

Oh, and I use the word "it" because I don't know if it was a boy or a girl. Not because I'm just completely heartless.

We had four plane rides all together, two going down and two coming back. So, going down, we flew into Orlando. And on the way to Orlando, something strange happened (other than a ton of icky turbulance). It doesn't have to do with babies, but it does have to do with a little kid.

This little boy got up and went to the bathroom. He had been sitting in the seat in front of us. I had to go really bad and had already waited like six people, because I didn't want to get up and wait. But this time, I decided I was going to stand up and wait by the bathroom door to ensure myself a spot at the toilet.

So I stood up and I waited. And waited. And waited some more. I swore this kid fell in! I think I was standing up there for like six minutes. I started getting worried. I'm like, "Should I tell the flight attendant? What if he locked himself in?" But I guess he didn't. Because after about eight minutes (or, at least it felt like that long), he came out. The bathroom didn't smell bad or anything, either. So, whatever, kid.

Aww, the joys of flying.

I love that you can get places so quick, but there are so, so many things I hate about planes.

More to come later, I'm sure.
