Questions That My Son Asked Me on This Morning's Flight from NC to NYC
"Can I sit next to dad instead?"
"Can I have sprite and apple juice?"
"What happens if the plane crashes? Also, my tooth is loose."
"Want to hear a song that I made up? Why not?"
"Do you think I'll be alive for a century?"
"What time is it?"
"What time is it now?"
"Why are your eyes closed? Are you asleep?"
"If you are asleep, how come you are able to tell me, 'yes, I'm asleep, leave me alone'?"
"Why can't I sit next to dad?"
"Can I have sprite and apple juice?"
"What happens if the plane crashes? Also, my tooth is loose."

Why can't he sit next to dad?
glad to know you made it home safely. Kids and their questions... probably lasted the entire flight, too!
Glad you're back. Safe, sound and still relatively sane. Right?
Shallow gal--The kids fight over who gets to sit next to dad, because apparently he's more "fun" and doesn't give them their last rites or anything throughout the flight. My son sat next to him on the flight over, so it was his turn to sit next to me on the flight back. Yes, sitting next to me is like drawing a short straw. I'm trying not to let it affect my sunny disposition.
Jess--yes!
Maura--Thank you! I am absolutely sane. (Why, are people saying that I'm not? Are they talking about me? Are they out to get me?)
My children have not wised up to the "If your asleep, why are you talking?" thing. Are you saying that there will come a day when that won't work anymore? Please...say it isn't so!
Flying with kids is so fun! I love it.
No...because that series of exchanges on the plane would have driven me straight over the edge into insanity, and yet you seemed to have survived!
We were talking about you. But not about that. Honest.
is he in kindergarten? Cause that's what I hear ALL DAY LONG. x 20.
now pass me a drink......
Sounds like Little Man today. Why is it that some days they can ask a million and one questions and still not be satisfied with the answers? Frustrating. Exhausting. Annoying.
Why can't you sit next to Daddy? Because Mommy lost the coin toss.
Yes, I get these kinds of questions from my son too. Yesterday, because he lost his second tooth yesterday we had a long talk about what the tooth fairy looked like on the way home from school. When I relayed what I think the tooth fairy looks like to my daughter and husband, they said that I put an awful lot of thought into it.
I must be meant to be around 5-6 year olds.
I want to sit next to dad, too!
I met a kid the other day with missing teeth and I totally played the old lady. I told her... When I was a kid we were able to put our teeth under a pillow and in the morning there would often be money under neath the pillow! Have you ever tried doing that? I am not sure it still happens. They are always so glad to tell me about how the Tooth Fairy works still etc....
It was a fun time!

I would pay my son to sit next to daddy... In fact, I perfer they both take a different flight.... give me some peace and quiet.
Thank you for your comment. Have you ever seen a bear?
Did you know you have wild life in NYC?? Not as scary as bears... but beautiful!

Actually they were in the news a few years ago, that's how I found them. Their nest was taken down by a NYC door man and there were protesters and everything. Made the news here.
I ofcoarse, signed the petition.
