A mother and her young son were flying from Kansas City to Chicago on Southwest Airlines when the boy, gazing out the window, turned to his mother with a curious question. “If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats,” he asked, “why don’t big planes have baby planes?”
The mother, stumped by the question, suggested he ask the flight attendant. The boy eagerly made his way down the aisle and posed the same question to the busy flight attendant. With a knowing smile, the attendant replied, “Did your mother tell you to ask me?” The boy nodded. “Well,” she said, “tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have her explain that to you.”
The flight attendant’s witty response left the boy puzzled but amused the adults nearby. It was a lighthearted moment that showcased the quick thinking and humor of Southwest’s staff, turning a simple question into a memorable in-flight experience.
