First off: I hate airplanes, time change, and two and a half hour layovers. Oh yeah, I also HATE crying babies. If you're going to take a child under three on an airplane CONTROL YOUR YOUNG! There I was trying to read Hamlet and do my one million other assignments when a baby started to cry. That baby cried almost the whole five hour flight--when that child stopped another one started. I hardly slept and only read an act in Hamlet. Right now I'm sitting in DC in a two hour layover waiting to go to Harrisburg where we have to drive another two hours to home. I also hate bossy flight attendants who come around waking people up to move their seats a whole two inches. (is it just me or is the number two coming into play a whole lot in this blog?)
PS--what is it with old ladies always carrying those ugly flowered suitcases? I must have seen about ten to twenty of them.

Babies have trouble with the pressure changes and popping their ears, thus they often cry. The problem is, if the child was acting up and making a scene, parents are very limited in actions to restrain them. Today, if a parent wants to "spank" a child (which I think is a perfectly fine way to discipline if done correctly) they can be arrested. I believe it has something to do with the Patriot act. I'll link the story. Honestly, the idea that you heard anything over the sound of the propellers is amazing to me. Were you on a 747? By the way, welcome back home!! =)

Good link, Lyssa. I'm glad that you're home, too, Olivia. It is tough to miss that much school -- even to go to Hawaii. :)
