So I wake up this morning about 7:30 and flipped the radio on. Two men DJs and a lady DJ are having fun talking about the kid on the plane that had a mother who was kicked off of the plane because the daughter wouldn't get in her seat belt. Remember, I live in Oklahoma, on of the largest buckles on The Bible belt.I get out of bed and my back is horrible. It hurts so bad that I grab the wall to keep from fainting. No biggee. Part of my life. Don't feel like eating a bowl of Wheat Spooners, so I grab a grainola package, put some ice in my OU water cup and go back and lay down. Put the Thermophore on my back and start heating that sucker up. They're calling in on the radio to give their two cents about the 3 year old girl whose mother wasn't able to put the seat belt on and, "... she was crawling under the seat to keep from being caught." Kicked both of them off. You can't control your daughter, you get booted.
All callers come to the same negative conclusion. That child should have been spanked, ... ON THE SPOT!
"The lady should have paddled the girl. That is the problem these days, our kids are not disciplined."
Yeh, right. Calm a crying little girl down by spanking her. (I call it hitting.) Our society has progressed so much that we still use corporal punishment to keep kids from crying. Why was the little girl crying? Anybody? Anybody? All supposition from the callers.
SMAT!!! "Now stop crying or I will spank you again!" Great psychology. I try to call in. Phone is busy.
"My dad spanked me; if it was good enough for me, it is good enough for today's kids."
BZZZZ Still busy.
"That's the problem today!" reasoned Kay (A MOTHER). "Kids just don't get spanked enough!" Duh!
Ring, Ring, Ring! "This is KKNG. Do you have some thoughts on the girl on the plane?"
"Sure I do. If she gets out of the seat and doesn't stop crying, hit her and tell her to stop crying. And if that doesn't work, hit her twice more and tell her, "Stop your crying!" If she still persists, hit, ... ah, I mean spank her three times and tell her to stop crying or you will spank her again.'
"Hey!" one of the men says, defensively. "We are talking about spanking a child not hitting them."
"Ah, ... what is the difference. You can't control a crying 3 year old, hit them. Open hand or closed, hitting is hitting. If she persists, ... heck, hit her 10 times. That'll make her stop crying."
"Sir, " Kay drops in. "We are talking about discipline here; we are not talking about hitting."
"What's the difference?"
"Sir, I'm going to hang up. We've got to get on with the program."
The program is on delay, so they don't aire my thoughts. Why is the little girl crying? What's going on here? Is she scared of flying?
They get a call from the African American Country Western Rap Dude named TROY in Nashville. You know, the one that rapped, "I Play Chicken With The Train, Train." I saw him on Jay Leno and wasn't impressed. Give me The Blind Boys From Alabama any day.
"So, Troy," the DJ asks. "What do YOU think about kicking the mother and the child off of the plane? Do you think it was justified?"
"Yes, I heard about that. I think the little girl had just had an ear operation, and she was afraid of the popping noise that she knew she would get when she flies on the plane."
"Ohhhhh!" in unison. "We didn't know that!!!" Silence. Isn't it great to live in a red state? And "The Worst Persons Of The World Award goes to the morning disk jockeys on 93.3 KKNG FM, which has a streaming broadcast over the Internet. Great Country oldies and new goodies. Tune it in on Saturday evening and be surprised.
I did some reading on Google about it, and it seems that the mother was never given a chance to settle the girl down. And the airline company? They offered them 3 free tickets to fly where ever they wanted to go in the United States. At this time, the mother has not taken them up on the offer.
"I just want to get my daughter settled down after her horrid experience."
Yes, they caught another plane home.
Isn't it great to live in a red state? Too bad we can't see the egg on all of the bimbo morning crew's faces this morning!
Heck, yes! All we need to do is go over in Iraq and kick ASS, put them in their place, and set up a Democracy!! In there in three weeks, and we will be out in 6 month, ... minimal casualties or serious wounds.
