Happy anniversary to me. I look at the faded flowers and become sentimental. The way I always weddings, birthdays, at midnight on New Year's Eve and other sentimental anniversaries will. So now I celebrate anniversary nozzles. The company sent me a medal for bravery and tireless tray to spin there was a bouquet of flowers by Fleurop - basically a nice touch. The delivering florist but was stopped apparently to keep the whole arrangement in the company colors, which at this time of year and our corporate design requires a floral masterpiece. Too much for my Vietnamese florist / Spätkauf / mom-and-pop store on the corner. Unfortunately, I have the wonderful Missed moment at which a small Vietnamese was hidden by this unspeakably ugly debris in front of my door, for just one days before I'm gone on my round and could not personally accept the anniversary bouquet. But how should the company be divined.
Now hang the first flower head, and I also. That I would see this anniversary, I did not think in my setup. So many years flying. Time for a summary. What did I learn? Have I learned anything?
think I spontaneously in a recent episode - on board: mother and father more sedate age with two daughters, one in elementary school, a not yet completely outgrown the diapers. Both parents were very concerned, but also overwhelmed, and both children were in the anti-authoritarian attitude of late giving birth parents the opportunity to both us and other times really to get to the cookie.
It surprised me not more than I after leaving the parking position at a cabin check vorfand jumping around on the seat two years. (Anyone who has even noticed the plane taxiing an unexpected braking can only imagine so, how it can end a scenario: stumbling, children head to the ceiling / back / arm / floor - laceration - Big ouch - Ambulance - great drama) Well, should I not care. Is not my child. Since I now only reluctantly on board talking about, since I found out that is undeniable, most of the interaction with Paxen with few facial expressions and gestures (questioning smile = "What do you like to drink?"; Reassuring smile = "We are the same by the turbulence caused by "; finger-wagging and head shaking ="! mobile phone ", etc.), had also been the" You have to--your seat belts-daughter-now "look combined with" but-really-is- me-the-something-from-sufficient care. " Apparently mom had been waiting for me, it's their own that is not able to tighten their daughter.
"Anna-Leeenaaa proclivity for the stewardess is already really angry! You have to buckle up now, which is already pissed! Yes!
(Unfortunately, I watch the flight attendant is very apathetic and simply stands there waiting, because Mom does not do you a favor and she wants out of their predicament. Who buckles you here, namely, as well as for the rest of the flight training aid serve. Purer experience value.)
Anna-Lena also pay even diapers. And I suspect the worst. After several years on board with changing pain-free children and their parents have warned me. Mothers wrap their babies with a naked ass on free seats (yes, not knowing then, that before that five thousand Butt vollgepupst have this seat? To feel no revulsion? Or at least a changing pad?). During the meal service that is. The cycle of food on a half square feet, so to speak. Some do's top pure, while down the other ... naja. The disposal of excreta see this grade parents more carefree. I am very well as a lack of naturalness - I was disgusted least one day a lot when I was suddenly in my tray of collection-Trance woke up: As I stretched but parents hands to the tray with the top resting diaper. Do they do that at home too? Diaper after the food on the plates and then: "Thank you, darling, I'm tired, can clear away the shit." But that was for me one of the defining moments for the further handling of small children and their parents: Always use care when and wound where it is and be prepared for the worst. (Show And if necessary with far outstretched arm on the toilet, "There is also a trash can in there Can you clear cast they love to have a changing table's as well as the only way as an information....")
The new colleague, which was on said day with Anna-Lena also on board, this lesson had still to come. Anyway, they stuck with the typical flight attendant waste grasping reflex innocently from her hand, as Anna-Lena's Dad on it came up while the question "Can I give you this?" A packed diaper packs in the palm of his hand pressed.
