Really, when I heard the tiny voice directing air traffic in New York in person, and the obviously amused pilots' responses, I knew that all was right with this world. Everyone knew what everyone was doing, the pilots of massive jumbo jets were having fun, and that tiny little boy was doing a great job. Like, maybe ten times better than people three times his age.
Bravo, tiny one!

ReplyDeleteYou're so right! My god, if all the lines are spoken in the right order and are understandable, who the fuck cares what is said?

Kid B comes into the office and says, "Dorothy, take a memo."
Everyone snickers! Message delivered.
What EVER happened to a sense of humour.
It died a horrible death, apparently. :(
ReplyDeleteOh well, I know for a fact that my little boy could direct traffic control as well as any handful of controllers out there, given the right supervision.
ReplyDeleteHey, don't 5-year-old child slaves in India weave amazing carpets?
Like I said: most planes today are designed to (and do) fly themselves and usually air traffic control is just a professional courtesy.
