On the news last night they spoke to a family who had to return home after it transpired that the holiday firm they'd booked with had gone bust.
Sad state of affairs. Whilst I feel it for the family what struck me was the little boy who was crying his eyes out, I wanted to reach in and say... 'get a bloody grip'!!
It made me realise just how lucky some kids are, to become so accustomed to flying out (i assume) that he was absolutely gutted his holiday was up the spout.
Surely if anyone should be crying it should be his parent/s??
Well I never. If that were my kids ( when they were that young age) they would have been like , 'Oh well.. that was a waste of the the taxi fare!!'.. 'ooh.. can we eat our sandwiches now mum???'... seriously...couldn't give a monkeys
Never ceases to amaze me
ps I feel a limerick coming on.. hmmm..
'Little Tommy Tucker.. spoilt little ...... 'x

ps to anyone out there who's plans have been messed up... I am truly sorry.. honest :)
I hear if you paid by card you should get a full refund!!
I think that kid was so inherently 'media savvy' that he probably knew a few prime time tears would help their cause.
ReplyDeleteLove your posts by the way Dawna

ReplyDeleteI'm sure the reporter asked him how he felt, and at one point the boy kinda moved forward like he really wanna kick down the camerman, but he just turned away crying into his sleeve
