During a flight from Kansas City to Chicago, a young boy traveling with his mother on Southwest Airlines asked a question that left everyone chuckling. As he looked out the window, he turned to his mother and asked, “If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”
Unsure how to answer, the mother suggested he ask the flight attendant. The boy approached the attendant and repeated his question. The attendant, with a playful smile, responded, “Did your mother tell you to ask me?” When the boy confirmed, she said, “Tell your mother there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have her explain that to you.”
The clever reply left the boy scratching his head but brought laughter to the passengers nearby. It was a perfect example of how a child’s innocent curiosity can lead to unexpected humor, even at 30,000 feet.
