Her husband couldn't(or didn't) help because he was keeping thier other children entertained. I asked her if she would like me to walk her baby for a while so she could relax. She had a total meltdown and sicked a stewardess on me! I was just trying to help. We were 30,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. I wasn't going to disappear with the baby! I explained to the stewardess that I was just trying to be helpful and luckily the Honolulu Police were not waiting for me on the runway. The woman saw me at the luggage rack and was still giving me dirty looks and whispering under her breath at me three hours later! I smiled and waved and gave her a big "ALOHA". The moral of this tale of woe is: try to give the person who offers to help you the benefit of the doubt. They may just be a genuinely compassionate person trying to help.

Aww Gwen where were you on our Transatlantic flights? In England a woman asked if she could hold E while we ate (no highchairs). I basically threw him to her like a football! He also loves new people so it was a win win win.
