The flight

indigo_rose99In some ways, this is the Best Flight Ever from Europe back to the US. I got THREE SEATS to myself. Four blankets, three pillows... How awesome is that?!
In other ways... *sigh* There is a small child... Well, there are many small children on this flight. But one in particular has been screaming or talking nonsense really loudly for FIVE HOURS. Solid. And her voice is that exact pitch that cuts through my noise-reducing headphones and music and the roar of the engine.
Considering how well behaved the other children are... Did mom not bring enough toys? Is the kid spoiled so rotten that all attempts to quiet her are doomed to failure? I see mom following the kid up and down the aisle (a 45 second experience in silence).
Seriously. The kid has woken me up three times now. And I do not go to sleep easily (without drugs. No drugs for use on return flight.). I feel that I have a right to be cranky about this. Ok, not to actually SAY anything to the mom, but I am thinking Dark Thoughts loudly.
