I was in Costco today and a little girl got an ice cream cone. Her dad took it from her to put it in a cup so it would be less messy. She freaked the #### out and threw herself on the floor in full tantrum mode. I just laughed at the dumb dad as he handed the cone back to her.

What would you have done to stop the tantrum? It's easy to laugh when it's not you in that situation. I suspect the father was panicking and did what he thought was best to end the tantrum.

I would not have taken the cone from the child.

She freaked out only after the father took the cone. You are assuming he should have known when in fact it could have gone the other way with her being happy with the cone in the cup. I agree with what he did and would have done the same to prevent a mess on the floor and the little girl. Laugh at that if you want

It's the best thing ever
Lol. I keep forgetting. I used to tickle them at night, I need to tickle them more.

Kinda feels good they keep asking me to sing songs to them though so I keep forgetting. They keep asking me to sing the mountain song lullaby my mom sang to me when I was a kid. I think the wife is a little happy i am not winding up the kids right before bed though.

Shuttling Richard Branson to Zuckerburg's island, eh? I know it's only 4km, but the rich gotta boogie! Nice gig!

How exactly does one go about stowing away upon one of these flights?

Asking...for a friend.
