You know if Dr. Evil up there isn't available.

And I continue to do everything in my power to avoid children.

Except my little niece.

She was sitting in the row in front of us.

Terrible, how is that even allowed.

Thanks for reading the thread Spiderwoman.

Yes that was determined already by Nicely about 9 posts up if you bothered to blackberryclick links.

Terrible, how is that even allowed.

I'm going to assume you aren't being facetious here. On many flights, people that have misconnected from an earlier flight get put on standby for the next flight. The only seats left were middle seats, but normally an arrangement is made at the gate or on-board to ensure children are not sitting alone with strangers. In this case, the mom didn't care. I even offered her my aisle seat! Anything to get away from her annoying invasive kid. Now I know why she didn't want to sit with him.

On another flight, I listened to an infant scream for roughly 2 hours of the 5 hour flight. I even had my laptop headphones on and my music playing at the highest volume. Nothing could break the screeching...except, perhaps, those Bose noise-canceling headphones.

I hope your party isn't this saturday. wolfchick just screwed you bro.
