The Airport Challenge

After sitting behind women with young children on airplane trips, to and from Johannesburg, I’ve reach what I believe is a very mature decision. It’s not something totally unoriginal like  “I’m never having children”. Although I must say that a screaming child is a very effective means of birth control. What I’ve decided is until my children can carry their own luggage and other rubbish they’re simply not flying with me.
I’m sure my children will have questions. I’m positive the inevitable “but when can we fly” whine will become more prevalent as they get older. I am however prepared and it’s for this very reason that I’m putting together the very first ‘Airport and Airline Challenge’.
All that is required is a bag full of the kind of stuff children insist on traveling with. This will be left at the back door. I will then simulate airport conditions while my children run from the top of the garden to the bottom and back again within an allotted time period. My eldest, Juan, followed by his sister, Deux, are free to take up this ‘Challenge’ whenever their hearts desire.
To make things more exciting and more realistic I want to add in some real life twists. These will vary and they could be anything from a flight being delayed to Juan losing his little sister.
At this rate my kids will be flying by the time they’re young adults and at that age they could start carrying some of my stuff.
