kids! on a plane

Aside from the occasional chubby, whiny brat wearing glittery mouse ears on their way home from Disney (gah, Orlando flights are the worst) I really love kids on the plane. There are lots in the summer from what I hear from the other flight attendants. Some go to camp, go visit grandma, or are with their family going on a trip... usually to Disney haha.

On my very first trip these kids kept sticking notes in my pocket that said things like "I like your smile" and "you are the best flight attendant." It was really sweet.

Last week these precious little girls, all around the same age with matching pink shirts and beads dangling from their braids each hugged me around my knees on the way out of the plane. They latched onto me for about 5 seconds each and yelled BYE! as loud as they could. It was the cutest thing.

Today this geeky little boy in thick glasses, PSP in hand, literally tried to squeeze past the cart. I was handing a drink to this lady and I literally feel something up against my butt. I turn around and look down and its this kid trying to squeeze by. I was like, "sweetheart, no way you can fit." He was like "I neeeeeeed to get to row 29!!" it was so funny, I think he was getting another game from his brother or something.

So I am on a flight to Richmond and its a normal flight... all of the sudden I feel something rubbing all up and down my leg. I look down and notice this tiny little hand feeling up my entire leg. It was this precious little boy saying "oooo prettyyyyyy." I guess my panty hose are soft??? it was kind of cute/a little weird.

I had a sweet little 6 year old UM (unaccompanied minor) on my flight today and she rang the flight attendant call button to ask me "if we were higher than heaven." CUTE!


kids are crazy and fun. And shockingly, no screaming hysteric babies yet. knock on wood!
