I have it on good authority that our daughter cried in the Los Angeles and Atlanta airports during the course of the near 24 hour trip. Her 5 year old travel wise sister looked on with disdain.

Thank goodness this was back in the 60s when most folks still assumed that parents had the well-being of their kids at heart and were doing the best they could to keep their children safe. Most folks also assumed that little guys were going to cry, or even throw a tantrum, from time to time.

Otherwise my wife would have probably ended up in jail and our daughter would have been raised by Children’s Protective Sevices (or whatever) and would not have grown up to be a very successful health care Executive with three kids of her own.
