Departure Time!

We have made it to the airport and are ready for departure. Boarding the plane I look down the aisle and see we are stuck next to a mother and her young child. I turn to MJ and say "ruh ro!" sleepy, I hadn't realized how closely we were standing next to her because she looks straight at me and says "don't worry, she will sleep the whole flight." Feeling like an idiot I sit and realize the kid is actually kind of cute. Showing her photos of the kittens, she goes wild, so much so that she crawls over the arm rest and sits on my lap with a huge smile on her face. How does one say no to that? You just don't. It lasts a few moments and she returns to her mother. Next task, sleep! We both passed out and I only woke to the child having dreams of being the karate kid using me as her chopping block.

At last, touchdown in Dulles!
