I HEARD THIS ON THE RADIO & WAS GOING CRAZY BECAUSE I COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING: APPARNTLY, A MOM WAS UPSET AT A STEWARDESS 4 FINALLY SUGGESTING BABY BENADRYL 2 MAKE HER BABY SHUT-UP. I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND BABIES EVEN MORE NOW (&, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF, I WAS GOOD B4 MY STROKE). BUT REALLY, I HAVE HAD 2 RE-LEARN MANY THINGS A BABY DOES—LIKE HOLDING MY HEAD UP & I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY WHY BABIES BABBLE & CAN OFTEN KNOW & SYMPATHICE W/WHY THEY CRY.

SO, WHEN A LADY ASKED HOW 2 MAKE A BABY STOP CRYING ON A PLANE, I WANTED 2 SHOUT AN ANSWER: SUCK.! CHEW! MOST LIKELY, THEIR EARS HURT! IT IS 1 OF SEVERAL REASONS I HATE 2 FLY. PLUGGED EARS CAN HURT OR BE ANNOYING, & I'M TERRIBLE AT UNPLUGING THEM—I RECALL 1 THAT LASTED WELL AFTER GETTING OFF THE PLANE. MARK HAD 2 PROVIDE ME W/THE TOOLS 2 RID ME OF IT—SO 2 MOVE MY JAW & SWALLOW, I HAD SM. CHUNKS OF HOT PREZEL. 4 A BABY, A BOTTLE OR NO-SPILL SIPPY CUP OF WATER OR A TREAT. I USED 2 ALWAYS HAVE GUM 4 ME & LOLLIPOPS 4 THE KIDS.
