Flying First Class

"Sea Level"

Working on a cruise ship, I was demonstrating
to a group of young passengers how the ship
manages to stay level at sea.

Do you know what level means?" I asked my 6 to
8 year-old charges.

One boy replied immediately.

"A level is something you need to pass in a video
game to get to a harder screen."

"Handwriting"

In school one day, a teacher asked my six-year-old son
why his handwriting wasn't as neat as it usually was.

"I'm trying out a new font," he explained.

"Flying First Class"

My husband and I were boarding an airplane with
our two small children when he commented that
it was too bad we weren't flying first class, where
we'd have more room for our infant.

"They probably don't allow babies in first class," I said.

"On the contrary," a nearby flight attendant jokingly
confided to us. "ALL our first-class passengers
are babies."
