Babies don't have to go to the movies. But sometimes they need to fly. When babies fly and cry, some grumpy adult passengers forget where they themselves came from and get all riled and huffy about having to endure a little shrieker on board. Mind you, I'm not saying I totally enjoy flying cooped up in the sardine seats for hours with a nearby human larva constantly testing his little lungs. But sometimes in life, dues must be paid. If you were ever a baby, that means you once tested your high-pitched little siren from time to time, using that survival tool to demand attention to your hunger and to your wet diaper. And some of you were practicing how to grow up to be a loudmouth. A lot of strangers once sat silently on planes, screaming inside their own heads, wishing your mother would shut you up, but understanding the necessity of new children on this planet/Bill Hall, Lewiston Tribune. More to come.

Question: How do you react when a nearby baby is crying on your flight?
