Then it happened. We take off from JFK and the kid begins to cry. And cry. And cry. And cry some more. The poor child cried for 5 hours. Really. I couldn't believe that he cried so much. I felt awful for both him and his parents, as this once "cute baby" was now being perceived as a holy terror. Being a parent myself, I just went with the flow, kept my cool and listened to my IPOD, and read a book.
