Sir, Please Buckle your Seat Belt!

Fasten Seat Belt While Seated

So I just took my seat on a flight from St. Louis to Minneapolis. Nothing new or glamorous about that. The flight attendants are making their rounds up and down the isles, and one in particular seems about as condescending as could be. I realize I’m not in first class and I know perfectly well that all my luggage needs to fit in the overhead compartment or underneath the seat in front of me THANK YOU!

So as others are still getting situated and hoisting luggage into the overhead bins.. one the finest attendants on a trip past me says, “Sir, please buckle your seat belt!” in a rather snotty tone, if I do say myself. Never being one for a loss of words I reply “With all do respect, you have yet to show me how to properly buckle. Once you show me how to do it, I’ll give it a shot.”

And with that… you could hear snickers and laughs coming from the peanut gallery aka other passengers and she scoffed off.  I think I may have heard an audible “DING” but I’m not 100% sure about that.

When was the last time someone gave you a test before you were shown the material? Seriously

Lesson learned I say…

Making Good Choices

This week our 2 year old Emma has started telling us when she was making good and bad choices while at the sitter.I love the fact that accountability and right and wrong is starting to sink in so early in life. What would life be like if everyone just make ‘good choices”

Scout Camp Outs and Great Leaders

Tommy III goes on his first Cub Scout camp out and Tommytrc talks about his days as a scouter. The Sub Scout and Boy Scout program has had a profound effect on my life. My leaders taught me a great deal. I now can see the influence Tommys scout leaders are having on his life. The circle continues and so does the great Scouting program!
