Many years ago, I pulled into a parking lot in the Porsche. I was driving along and saw a park at the end of the row that I was driving past and pulled into that spot. There was a minivan at the opposite end of the row. As my wife was gathering up her stuff for us to get out, the minivan pulled up behind us, honked, and flipped us off. It was a soccer-mom with a young-ish (8-13, maybe) daughter in the car. I knew right then that the daughter didn't stand a chance. I can only assume the woman had seen the spot and was hoping to get it, but she was no where near it, and there was no way for me to know that she wanted it.

Presumably, he wasn't there. I got the impression that she was traveling with just the kids. Since he's a ball player, seems there was a very good chance he was somewhere else doing something else.

At the same time, I’m not convinced that having a pregnant woman wrangle two small children while contorting underneath those tiny seats is the best use of everyone’s time.

Right. Of course we're reading "pregnant woman" and picturing a woman at 7 months with a belly, but maybe she's only 2-3 months and not showing at all.

That, exactly.

If I drop some s##t on the floor while flying I'm not about to get down there and clean it up.
Probably first class.
There must be a third side to the story.

What I got from the story is that the AA attendants asked her to clean it up. I can only assume that the mess was huge, they'd witnessed her letting the kids run wild, and she probably didn't look pregnant for her to have been asked to clean it up.
