Caring words from a Navy pilot.
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2014 12:25 pm
During a commercial airline flight an experienced Navy pilot was seated
next to a young mother with a babe in arms. When the baby began crying
during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as
discreetly as possible. The pilot pretended not to notice, and, upon
disembarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various
baby-related items.
When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "that's
a good looking baby, and he sure was hungry!"
Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said that
the time spent on the breast would help alleviate the pressure in the
baby's ears.
The Navy pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed,
"And all these years, I've been chewing gum."
