My family is flying home from vacation in Florida. It's been a VERY LONG DAY because we are on the late flight out in order to save $500. I am traveling with my husband and our three children (ages four, three, and just turned one). Clearly, its not that much of a vacation. My husband and I are seated across the aisle from one another and we each have one of our boys with us. My daughter, our one year old, is primarily sitting with me but there is only so much I can take in 18 inches of space so my husband and I pass her back and forth when I need a break.
UNTIL, the flight attendant comes by (pre-flight) and curtly says to me, "she (looking at the baby) needs to remain with you the entire flight!" Uh, what??? I have traveled dozens of times with an infant and I have NEVER heard of this. I FREAKIN' HATE THIS LADY. I look over at my husband to exchange the look that conveys to him I FREAKIN' HATE THIS LADY and he says to me, "I love her."
Umm, hmm of course you do.
This flight attendant happens to be African-American all the more reason my husband loves her, as he dated black woman exclusively for several years before we were married. When she does her whole bit about turning off electronic devices she includes "turn off your blackberries, crackberries, blueberries, and raspberries..." and when she walks by my husband says to her, "I didn't hear you say mulberries" and they go on like this throughout the rest of the flight. WTH?
When we leave the plane my husband thanks her "so much" and then turns to me and says, "yep..., I love blackberries!"
