Don't trust a dad
Frankfurt Airport, originally uploaded by Kid Gibson.
Back when I was at the Norfolk airport, a 5 year old boy kept setting off the metal detector. His dad couldn't figure out what it was; neither could the TSA folks. Finally they determined it was the buttons on his pants that kept setting off the alarm.
Now, I don't know what the proper next step is in this situation, but I know the dad's solution wasn't it. You see, the dad says, "take off your pants!"
So the boy takes off his pants in full view of 50 people, and goes through the detector without a problem. Even for a 5 year old boy, showing an airport your dinosaur undies has to be mortifying.
I can only assume that when those two get home, and the mom finds out what happened, she is gonna be pisssssssed. "You did *what*!?" And then she hits him with a rolling pin. At least I hope that's what happened...
entry no. 1425
