re: #186 HappyWarrior

It’s scary. I won’t lie. I had a fear of flying for a very long time. Didn’t go on my first plane trip until I was 12.

My dumbass parents took me with them on a trip to Hawaii when I was 4. They did this because they were exactly the kind of idiots who would do such a thing. I remember that several hours into the flight, I decided to march around the airplane and DELIBERATELY AWAKEN SLEEPING PASSENGERS.

If you flew from the mainland US to Hawaii in 1978 and were mercilessly harassed by an unsupervised child the whole time, that child might have been me. In any event, I apologize.

I have uncomfortably vivid memories of that flight, and they leave me unable to understand why I wasn’t thrown out of the plane, or at the very least confined to the cargo hold.
