It's a bummer to be stuck next to that, I get it. But nothing has made me appreciate traveling solo more than traveling with kids.

May the remainder of your flights be free of crying, smelly, pita children!
This is sort of the sentiment that I was trying to convey, and I know that Vash was a gentleman on his flight, because that's how he comes across on the interwebs.

(I hope I didn't come off judge-ey, because that wasn't my intent)

I was the snarley, glaring ******* single flyer until I started dating a woman with three (grown) kids who made sure that I knew very well that the parents all just want to crawl into a hole. The stories she told made me very empathetic.

Flying just absolutely blows chunks; we're all in it together, whether we want it or not.
