Five Minutes of Silence
I was on a flight from Washington Dulles to Heathrow. This 6-8-year-old kid behind me was screaming the whole overnight flight. Constantly whining to his mom for food, toys, what the heck ever. Mom was the “Shhhh honey, no no honey, shhh sweetheart” type. Finally, the mom had to get up to use the restroom. The kid starts wailing.
The guy next to me leaned up over his seat, turned around, and said “Hey, Kid. Shut up.” The whole plane didn’t clap but we enjoyed five minutes of dead silence till mom came back.
