10 Ways a Mother Resembles a Flight Attendant

1. Pre-Flight Preparations
   Flight Attendant: “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re preparing for takeoff. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts.”
   Mother: “After all that fuss about getting dressed, we’re now late! Stop crawling around the backseat and buckle up!”
2. Baggage Rules
   Flight Attendant: “Each passenger may bring one carry-on item that fits in the overhead bin.”
   Mother: “You can’t bring five stuffed animals and a blanket to the store. Just pick one!”
3. Comfort on Board
   Flight Attendant: “For your comfort, feel free to recline your seat and stretch your legs.”
   Mother: “If you don’t quit kicking my seat, I might just pull over and let you walk home.”
4. Emergency Protocols
   Flight Attendant: “In case of a water landing, your seat cushion can serve as a flotation device.”
   Mother: “I’m aiming to sit on the couch today. Can we please take down your pillow fort?”
5. In-Flight Entertainment
   Flight Attendant: “We hope you enjoy our in-flight movie.”
   Mother: “I could really use a break. What do you say to a movie tonight?”
6. Assistance Call
   Flight Attendant: “Should you need assistance, please press the call button, and we’ll get to you shortly.”
   Mother: “Just because you’ve been bouncing around yelling for juice for the last seven minutes doesn’t mean I’m moving any faster!”
7. Meal Options
   Flight Attendant: “Today’s meal choices include ham or turkey sandwiches.”
   Mother: “No, I’m not making you mac and cheese again. What’s on your plate is dinner. No negotiations!”
8. Restricted Areas
   Flight Attendant: “Excuse me, this section is for authorized personnel only.”
   Mother: “For the last time, stay out of your sibling’s room while she’s napping!”
9. Preparing for Arrival
   Flight Attendant: “As we prepare for landing, please ensure your tray tables are stowed and seats are upright.”
   Mother: “Time for bed! Clean up your toys right now.”
10. Safety Announcements
    Flight Attendant: “The captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign. Please remain seated.”
    Mother: “I’ve already put you to bed three times. Now, stay there!”
