Life as a Flight Stewardess

I'm not cut out to be a airline stewardness. I wouldn't make it. Besides my low tolerance for time spent in an airplane, I just don't have what it takes.

As I shuffled my 4 children into the car for soccer tonight...I was "helping" everyone find their seats, making sure their bags were stowed in the car properly, made sure everyone had a full water bottle, and handed them their "dinner" (a hot dog...beats crackers & peanuts!). I was very calm and polite until the passengers got demanding. They wouldn't buckle their seatbeats so our "flight" could take off on time. They desired so many things; they were really quite unruly. I was no longer calm, cool, or collected.

Nope, I'm not stewardness material. However, I have new found respect for their profession.
