Toddlers' parents give out sweets to fellow passengers on flight
Christina Galese was on a flight to Orlando recently and had an encounter with a young family that were determined to pre-empt any tension between their kids and their fellow passengers.
Speaking to Love What Matters, she describes what happened:
"As I was boarding a flight from EWR to Orlando today, I noticed most people pass up two rows of seats about half way down the plane. As I got closer, I found one row with a father and his 18-month old daughter and the other row with his wife and the daughter’s twin. Because I don’t mind children (and knew I had my headphones for later on, just in case) I opted for the window seat next to the father and one of the twins.
"The rest of the passengers boarded and the middle seat in between us was eventually occupied. Before the flight took off, the parents passed around these goodie bags to the other passengers around them. Such a thoughtful, simple act of kindness that I am so happy to have experienced."
The goodie bags contained sweets, ear plugs and a note introducing themselves and thanking people for their understanding.
And while you couldn’t get mad after that, Christina says there was no need.
"And for the record, the twins were the most adorable and well-behaved little girls ever!! I never had to reach for the ear plugs once -- the only time I opened the bag was to have a piece of chocolate. I hope this family has the most wonderful vacation!"
What do you think? Was the parents’ gesture thoughtful or unnecessary?
