I love my electric toothbrush, but never understood how scary that can be for a small child until I read this article on Dooce.

Poor Leta!

AirTran is defending itself today for removing a screaming toddler and her family from a flight bound for Boston.

“The flight was already delayed 15 minutes and in fairness to the other 112 passengers on the plane, the crew made an operational decision to remove the family,” AirTran spokeswoman Judy Graham-Weaver said, ” [The toddler, a three year old named Elly] was climbing under the seat and hitting the parents and wouldn’t get in her seat.”

The family was compensated to the tune of “$595.80, the cost of the three tickets,” and “flew home the next day.

They also were offered three roundtrip tickets anywhere the airline flies,” but the father said they’d never fly AirTran again.

This, of course, means we are suddenly more interested in flying AirTran for the no psychotic toddler policy.

There are other people on the plane, and if you can’t control your kid you need to be removed rather than ruin/delay the flight for everyone else.

“he wouldnt know programming if it came up and bit him in the tits”

One of the guys in the office is learning to sign via the interpreter for Hollyoaks on a Sunday.

I thought it would be nice to help him out.

The people at work disagree, but I think its the best portrayal of British life on telly.
