A very nice young couple is awaiting take-off from Newark to San Francisco, on Continental.
And waiting, and waiting. Shocker, no?
Anyway, they have their 2-spawn with them, aged 3 and 1. And there’s no AC. And it’s hot. And the kids are thirsty. And they’re starting to die.
Our hero, a mild-mannered Clark Kentish-type, asks the flight attendant for some water. “When we’re in the air”, she snaps. Hero waits for her to move on, then calmly rises, heads for the galley, and secures said water.
Not much of a story, huh? Well, the heck with you! I see it as tiny piece of the vast mosaic that makes up the great morality play called, “Little People on the Plane: Sometimes They Win.”
Of course, had he been arrested, I’d have had to call this “Little People in Jail.” Whatever.
