Dear GrannyGeese….......Me, too!...I have sooo many stories…..

Back in 1967, the 2nd greatest Love of my life walked me to my seat on a plane in Chicago that was bound for Colorado…He sat down in the empty seat next to me…...and stayed there…........We flew off into the sunset together, laughing and scraping our pockets for ticket fare….Ah yes, ‘the days when it was fun to fly’...........

Reminds me of the time we were flying and the restroom was closed. Strangely also on a flight to Salt Lake. Cant remember why the restroom was closed.

Anyway the baby, as baby’s will, decided to poop. Feeling comfortable with the knowledge that the diaper could be wrapped in plastic and put in the “poop” compartment of the diaper bag, my daughter decided to change her on the seat. Just then, we hit some turbulence and all those hard little poops jumped and rolled out. We tried to prevent it but we weren’t quick enough. As the plane nosed up trying to climb above the turbulence, all those little balls hit the floor and rolled back ... we could hear them going down the floor under the seats, all the way to the back of the plane. The turbulance increased and we were told to fasten our seat belts and stay in our seats, so we were unable to retrieve them. All we could do was sit there and laugh.

After we landed and the lights were on and the folks sitting back there had left, we crawled around to see what we could find. We found them neatly lined up along the wall under the last seat at the back of the plane, so felt certain nobody had stepped on any. “Did you lose something?” The Flight Attendant asked? “Yup, but I think we found it all.” My son replied. Needless to say, we were all laughing and I do think we found it all.

Now had I known the airline would have apologized with a voucher, for the inconvenience of the closed restroom I would have complained. Perhaps even requested the Flight Attendant help us retrieve our lost “poop” but I didn’t. Makes me wonder how many others have had similar experiences.

Come to think of it. If that happened in today’s world we probably would have been detained indefinitely while someone from Homeland Security sent those hard little balls off to be analyzed as potential terrorist threats.

I miss the days when it was fun to fly, and you weren’t afraid to laugh on a plane.

Now the terrorists are present everywhere even in the bathroom at home.

Home Security Department can rest in peace !
