Parenting advice #2

For those of you who decide to take your little angels on an airplane, please make sure to get a prescription for a sedative to give your child before the trip. Those of us without children love to look at young people and admire their cute ways. This is much more enjoyable if the small creature is not screaming bloody murder because their ears are popping, or because they just want to get out of their seat to play. We (childless adults) love to see children smiling or sleeping happily on the plane. As for the children's health, I cannot imagine it is better for a child to be confused about why their tiny ears are suddenly in pain and looking at their parental unit wondering why they aren't doing something to fix it. It can't be bad for the parental unit either. Their self esteem is sure to be heightened by the comments of childless people who look into the hazy eyes of your pride and joy and say, "Your children are so well mannered! How do you do it?"
