Little Boy: I got to be the rebel spy!
Mom: Yes, you were!

Tiny Girl: But I wanna be the rebel pie!

an ode to A+ parenting
oh parents
who have placed their baby sideways in her stroller
I understand that you are tired
but her legs are dangling over the side and dragging on the ground
at least you realized she was so small that she was about to slip out
so good job on being MacGuyver and placing a backpack in the stroller to keep her from falling on the pavement
A+, parents.

Tourist: Yes, please, this ET?
Me: *looks up at the Ewok village*
Me: No, sorry, this is Star Tours.
Tourist: Oh. Where ET?
Me: In Universal Studios.
Tourist: *blank stare*
Me: This is Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Tourist: *blank stare*
Me: They’re two different parks.
Tourist: *mind blown*
Grown Ass Man: Give us front row.
Me: What’s the magic word?
Grown Ass Man: I dunno.
Me: …
*I turn to his kid*
Me: Do you know what the magic word is?
Kid: *shrugs*
Me: Seriously?
Grown Ass Man: Mickey Mouse?
*I wait until they say please before I let them in*
So I make people say please when they want something specific, right?
Teenage Girl: We want row five.
Me: What’s the magic word?
Teenage Girl: …cheese?
this one time at Star Tours
Me: Hi, how many?
Lady: Yes, hi, Brazil.
Me: *slowly looks around to see if she did indeed bring the whole nation of Brazil with her*
this one time at Star Tours…
I was at boarding and this little girl came through bawling. I was like “are you okay, princess?” And she ran and threw her arms around my waist and sobbed “I AM SCARED OF THE ROBOTS!!”
All I could do was think “you are in the wrong ride, sweet pea” but I didn’t say that…I told them to ask for a farther back row so she wasn’t sitting directly in front of C3-PO.
this one time at Star Tours…
A dad told me he’d see me in hell because his child was too short to ride. He legit started walking in, dragging the kid, and I had to walk backwards holding my hand up in front of me like “SIR YOU CANNOT ENTER.”
Why do people value their child going on a ride more than the safety of their child? Why.
Remind me to tell you the baby under seat story sometime.
This one time at Star Tours…
I was doing my in cabin spiel (“hello travelers and welcome to flight 1401…) and this little girl in row one rolls her eyes and shouts in perfect English “I DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH!”
I didn’t know how to respond so I was just like “uh…well I don’t speak Spanish” and carried on as usual.
today at Star Tours…
A little boy was too short to ride. His father was angry. His response when I repeated he couldn’t ride?
“I’m from New York! I’d let him ride!”
I really wanted to be like “YOU’RE FROM NEW YORK?? OH MY GOD THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.”
But I didn’t.
