children these days
i know my cousin is expecting an entry about a certain child...the only people that need to know who i'm talking about already know so no names will be mentioned but merely that this child made me realize a few things...1) i won't necessarily be as great a mom as i hope...2) raising a child is all about quality time with him/her...3) i can't shield him/her from the world but i can inform them about these things & the etiquette of when not to mention such things...

my cousin has already heard all the following before but i will write about it here for my own memory & for other interested stalkers...

my dad, mom, & i took the plane down to LA for my brother's wedding reception. it was a smaller plane than normal & a spacey flight. my mom & dad sat on the left side of the aisle & i sat alone on the right. four obnoxiously loud group of women (who were already getting dirty looks in the waiting area) was on our flight.

one was a birthday girl with a thick thick european accent & she was accompanied by her 3 friends to celebrate in las vegas. we were lucky enough be on the same flight & sitting int he 2nd row, right behind them. at first, only the two window seats were booked for them. the other two women were booked for row 9 & 10.

they loudly complained that the machine must have made a mistake & that this was ridiculous. they just stood there blocking the line (since they all wanted to be in the first row) so one woman asked the girl in one of the seats to move to row 10. she very reluctantly did so...she didn't say a thing just picked up her stuff & walked back with an expressionless face...her only reward being she didn't have to listen to them complain the whole flight...

then the birthday girl asked for the flight attendant to place her carry on somewhere & she asked to place it right in my dad's leg room (not even under the seat!) & my dad refused obviously & the birthday girl was already annoyed...

then the other girl walked in that was booked for row 1. she was asian & had with her an oil painting. they asked her to move to row 9 but she very scared & quietly said she planned to sit in row 1 so there was room for her painting. the flight attendant for some reason was on the loud women's side. maybe it was because she was about the same age or because they were white (i don't want to rule that reason out because there is more racism in the world than we want to admit). the flight attendant told the asian girl she couldn't put her painting there anyways & she'd be better off in row 9. so she also reluctantly moved because there was nothing she could say. she was looking out for her own good & shot down.

the row 9 woman very excitedly moved up with ehr friends. in the meantime the birthday girl kept very very loudly saying...she was just rude! so ridiculous! & mean! children these days! (which she kept repeating with her thick unattractive accent)then the woman that moved up from row 9 asked her fried that was originally booked for row 10..."was she being diffcult or...stupid" her friend gave her a rolled eyes look & she sympathetically said "oh it was the latter" she went on to say how children these days are so unreasonable & stupid

they closed the airplane door for liftoff & that woamn took out a colorful hardbound book with a huge $9.95 sticker still stuck on the cover over the title which she proceeded to leave on her lap--closed as they gossiped the rest of the flight...



there is nothing worse than stupid people that think they are intelligent & better than others...
