I have to tell you about another time that you heard (without realizing it) a flight attendant say firmly, "SIT. DOWN." It was when you were 5 months old. We were flying from Wellington to Nelson, NZ, over the Cook Strait. The weather was crazy and we were in a tiny Fokker Friendship, which had been cabled to the tarmac so it wouldn't blow away before take-off. They removed the cables and the plane started down the runway, swaying and dipping in the wind and rain. A man got up and started to run down the center aisle in a panic. Then the flight attendant said "SIR, SIT. DOWN. SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN!!!!" He sat down and I turned my attention to figuring out how I would rescue you when we plunged into the mighty waters of the Cook Strait. Absolutely the worst flight ever, but one heck of a job of piloting. We arrived safely, thank God.
brahahahahahahaha!
