OH, SURE: THEY 'FORGOT'
Parents hop plane, forget son in airport
(At the moment, the headline says "Parents hope plane," which we assume is a mistake.) (Although you never know.)
(Thanks to Jon Harris, Amanda Austin, Siouxie and the Perts)
("Siouxie and the Perts" sounds like a cartoon show)
5 out of the 9 threads have come from Siouxie today one way or another which begs the question...tax season is over isn't it?

*snickers* @ Siouxie and the Perts cartoon - can I be drawn like, skinny?
*SMACKS* Rick. Yes. Any more questions?
I also wondered if that was a typo or if the parents really hoped to leave the kid.

Maybe the toddler just didn't cry loudly enough. Needs to take lessons from my son.

According to the article they were seated separately on the plane but, you'd think at least the mother would go check on her baby???
Boggles the mind.

Sioux - that's what the in-laws are for.

Ex-Pert.
Somebody made that joke at our wedding,
back in the stone age.
I'll tell the Mrs. when she gets home from work.
"Bum" is right; I make supper...

Respectfully, Mr. Pert,
It was probably CJ at your wedding, but then he forgot.
Siouxie - I'm thinking that your cartoon character would look like a Cuban Jessica Rabbit. ;)

OMG I forgot the baby on the bus! BRB!

Canadians: even their airlines are nicer...
An American airline would have searched the toddler for drugs, tested with a "drug-test" kit which flags anything containing hydrogen/carbon/oxygen as meth/heroin/cocaine, hauled the boy off in handcuffs, shut down the airport in a security alert, landed the plane at a random airport mid-route, removed and frisked all the passengers, blown up the family's luggage just in case, refused to let them back on a flight to retrieve the child without a reservation, and charged them up the wazoo for it all... all while refusing everyone food, water, and toilets.

But the question the Canadi>n airlines have is whether it is sufficient to give the order to close the doors in English only ou s'il faut aussi demander qu'on barre les portes en français.
And Wahooligan, I assume you did not have return reservations on Canada 3000 when they broke the bank in November 2001.

The head line still reads "hope" plane, but I don't expect much from the media anymore, perhaps they are Obama supporters?
