A woman and her six year old son were traveling aboard a WestAir jet liner enrout to visit the boys grandparents , whom he had never met. The young lad was very excited about meeting his ganparents yet at the same time he was also in awe of the aircraft he was flying on, as this was the boys first time traveling aboard such a massive liner. Not one to hold back , the boy asked questions constantly, is this a Ford or a Chevy airplane mom? How fast does it go? Can it pull a trailer? Befor long each of the over worked stewardess had been asked a dozen or more questions as well. Sometime after lunch was served and after the in flight movie had started the boy asked a question that his mother was rather uncomfortable with.
"Mom, if big elephants have baby elephants and big horses have baby horses how come big airplanes dont have baby airplanes?" His mother who was some what shy on such matters told the boy to go ask one of the stewardess'. So the boy left his seat and began looking for one of the stewardess. When he managed to track down one of them he asked his question. "If big elephants have baby elephants and big horses have baby horses how come big airplanes dont have baby airplanes?" The stewardess by now groing rather tired of the boys contant questions asked him why he wasnt in his seat, "because I want to know why big airplanes dont have baby airplanes" "Did your mother tell you to ask me that?" the stewardess asked. Yes she did replied the boy. Knowing that she needed to get the boy to go back to his seat and maybe even get rid of him once and for all as well , she replied "Well its really quite simple young man, the reason big airplanes dont have baby airplanes is because WestAir planes always pull out on time, now go sit down and ask your mother to explain that to you." |
