Based on a true experienced story. Well... Except the ending obviously.
This experience made me wonder about something.... When people are bored and want to complain about it, it's impressive the amount of energy they waste only for doing so. Compared to the energy they use for doing something constructive, it's awfully
huge.
Being a kid doesn't excuse this. Because in this case a kid was not tired or it was not because his ears were hurting. He was simply bored to hell for crying almost the whole 8 hours long flight to make this fact clear. If it were the first two, he would simply collapse from exhaustion. Also let us avoid feeding his plan to get as much attention as he could get by bringing him along all the hallways of the plane; so everybody could get his share of kiddy complaints. It's far from cute. The mother or father can just bring him to the toilets and stay there with him until he stops - no need to say anything; the parent has to stay silent and the kid will understand sooner or later.
This applies also to adults.
