11 Obnoxious Things Your 1-Year-Old Will Definitely Do While Flying
The following post was originally featured on Carriage Before Marriage and written by Amy Wruble, who is part of POPSUGAR Collective.
Everybody loves a 1-year-old, unless of course they're on an airplane with one. I remember my Mommy & Me class leader telling us that from age 1 to 2.5, we should make all faraway friends and relatives come to us and avoid flying altogether. So when the invitation arrived for a family wedding 3,000 miles away, and my youngest daughter was still in that age range, I knew I was screwed.
But luckily, my 19-month-old toddler surprised me and was a perfect angel who slept the entire time. Kidding! (And wouldn't you hate me if I wasn't?) No, flying with her was pure hell in the skies, because here's what she and - let's face it - all 1-year-olds really do when you dare to fly with them:
1. Repeatedly kick the seat back in front of you, earning you glares and seething hatred from the affected passenger who is now your mortal enemy and probably creating a brand new Twitter account just to complain about you more publicly.
2. Demand to get "Uhhhhpp!" just as the captain puts the fasten seatbelt light on. Nothing will stop their screaming. All the things that work at home, like getting some fresh air outside or eating ice cream are totally unavailable to you now. Ha ha.
3. Cruise up and down the aisle using strangers' inner thighs as convenient handrails. This will be far more embarrassing for you than for them.
4. Drop their goldfish crackers on the floor and eat them, digesting a mélange of airplane germs, which will incubate for 24 to 48 hours before giving your 1-year-old, and thus your entire family, a nasty virus right in the middle of your vacation.
5. Blow out their diapers - especially if the plane has no changing table. So then you're forced to change them on your own lap. Hope you brought a big plastic tarp! You didn't? That's okay, your white pants will do nicely.
