I had a return flight from DC on Wednesday and after taking my aisle seat, a young couple with infant came down the aisle and was passing out plastic goodie bags.

Contents included a lollipop, little candies, a toothbrush and floss.

A note inside explained:

Hello: I'm 6 month old Maryam and I am excited to go on my
very first plane ride. I promise I will try to be on my best behavior but I
wanted to apologize in advance if I get a little scared and cry. I had a
talk with parents about this and I asked them to pick up some extra ear
plugs just in case anyone needs them. Please stop by our seats if you
would like a pair.

How sweet and thoughtful of these parents!

And, the child was an angel throughout the flight.

“It was a normal, hilarious, loud bird,” Morris said. “You could tell he was excited. He wouldn’t stop talking. It was so cool.”

i love it!
