Although it sounds like your interaction was really positive. <br /><br />I love your pics of Philly - a place I'd like to visit someday.

My la...Haha, funny you say that about the parents. My last memorable Philly flight delay involved a guy who basically went over the counter at the flight attendant when it seemed that we passengers were being screwed by the airline. He left in handcuffs and his wife and their daughter who was about 4 were calmly separate from him until he was arrested, then the wife was wailing and crying. Bad adults are far worse, far more rude, far more demanding, than the worst of the bad kids. It was funny how you posted about your convo with your sons about "fanboy" v. "fangirl." It kind of struck me in conjunction with this plane convo just how far removed I am from kids between the ages of about 10 and 25 these days.

I would love to try the November Project workout sometime. I've heard great things about the workouts, but the closest is in Boston which is about 90 minutes away. <br /><br />Is it weird that I would cherish a flight delay by myself in an airport?!! I'm glad the kids settled down though.
