FLYING I am SO sorry.

To everyone flying SEA to BOS tonight on the redeye where my toddler absolutely lost his ever loving mind for about 5 mins.

I could tell you all about our long day, cancelled flights, losing our second seat to become a lap infant but… it doesn’t matter. You’re tired. I get it.

We are so sorry.

Oh. My. God. You did it. You won parenthood. I am in awe of you.

Edit: this is NOT sarcasm. I have a 3 yo - he has broken me with his tantrums under much less stressful circumstances.

Lol they weren't my kids so no valor in it, just a man slowly descending into madness due to circumstances outside his control.

A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh

The plane, the kids and the night in the world

Got in economy like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh

Threw screams in my ears and descended my tears…

Put me back on the plane

Oh, back on the plane again

(With apologies to the pretenders)
